OPTIONS

19       See lvm for common options.
20
21       -a, --all
22              If  PhysicalVolumePath  is not specified on the command line all
23              physical volumes are searched for and used.
24
25       --metadataignore  y|n
26              Ignore or un-ignore metadata areas on this physical volume.   If
27              metadata  areas  on  a physical volume are ignored, LVM will not
28              not store metadata in the metadata areas present on this  Physi‐
29              cal Volume.
30
31       -u, --uuid
32              Generate new random UUID for specified physical volumes.
33
34       -x, --allocatable y|n
35              Enable  or disable allocation of physical extents on this physi‐
36              cal volume.
37

Example

39       "pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1" disallows the allocation of physical  extents
40       on this physical volume (possibly because of disk errors, or because it
41       will be removed after freeing it.
