NAME

6       pvresize — resize a disk or partition in use by LVM2
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pvresize   [--commandprofile   ProfileName]   [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]
10       [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version]  [--setphysicalvolumesize  size]
11       PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       pvresize  resizes PhysicalVolume which may already be in a volume group
15       and have active logical volumes allocated on it.
16

OPTIONS

18       See lvm(8) for common options.
19
20       --setphysicalvolumesize size
21              Overrides the automatically-detected size of the PV.   Use  with
22              care, or prior to reducing the physical size of the device.
23

EXAMPLES

25       Expand the PV on /dev/sda1 after enlarging the partition with fdisk:
26
27       pvresize /dev/sda1
28
29       Shrink  the PV on /dev/sda1 prior to shrinking the partition with fdisk
30       (ensure that the PV size is appropriate for your intended new partition
31       size):
32
33       pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1
34
35

RESTRICTIONS

37       pvresize  will  refuse  to  shrink  PhysicalVolume  if it has allocated
38       extents after where its new end would be.  In  the  future,  it  should
39       relocate  these  elsewhere  in  the volume group if there is sufficient
40       free space, like pvmove does.
41
42       pvresize won't currently work correctly on LVM1 volumes.
