DESCRIPTION

22       pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical vol‐
23       umes like size, physical extent size, space used for the  volume  group
24       descriptor area and so on.
25
26       pvs  (8)  is  an  alternative that provides the same information in the
27       style of ps (1).

OPTIONS

30       See lvm for common options and pvs for options given with --columns.
31
32       -c, --colon
33              Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or
34              programs.   N.B. pvs (8) provides considerably more control over
35              the output.
36
37              The values are:
38
39              * physical volume device name
40              * volume group name
41              * physical volume size in kilobytes
42              * internal physical volume number (obsolete)
43              * physical volume status
44              * physical volume (not) allocatable
45              * current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
46              * physical extent size in kilobytes
47              * total number of physical extents
48              * free number of physical extents
49              * allocated number of physical extents
50
51
52       -s, --short
53              Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
54
55       -m, --maps
56              Display the mapping of physical extents to logical  volumes  and
57              logical extents.
58
59       --columns | -C
60              Display  output  in columns, the equivalent of pvs (8).  See pvs
61              (8) for a description of other options with this form of  pvdis‐
62              play.
