23 pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical vol‐
24 umes like size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group
25 descriptor area and so on.

27 pvs(8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the
28 style of ps(1).
29
31 See lvm(8) for common options.

39 programs. N.B. pvs(8) provides considerably more control over
40 the output.

43
44 · physical volume device name
45 · volume group name
46 · physical volume size in sectors
47 · internal physical volume number (obsolete)
48 · physical volume status
49 · physical volume (not) allocatable
50 · current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
51 · physical extent size in kilobytes
52 · total number of physical extents
53 · free number of physical extents
54 · allocated number of physical extents
55
56
57 -s, --short
58 Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
59
60 -m, --maps
61 Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and
62 logical extents.
