OPTIONS

38       --commandprofile String
39              The command profile to use for command configuration.  See
40              lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.
41
42       --config String
43              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf set‐
44              tings.  The String arg uses the same format as lvm.conf, or may
45              use section/field syntax.  See lvm.conf(5) for more information
46              about config.
47
48       -d|--debug ...
49              Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail
50              of messages sent to the log file and/or syslog (if configured).
51
52       --driverloaded y|n
53              If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.
54              For testing and debugging.
55
56       -h|--help
57              Display help text.
58
59       --lockopt String
60              Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See lvm‐
61              lockd(8) for more information.
62
63       --longhelp
64              Display long help text.
65
66       --profile String
67              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on
68              the command.
69
70       -q|--quiet ...
71              Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --ver‐
72              bose.  Repeat once to also suppress any prompts with answer
73              'no'.
74
75       --reportformat basic|json
76              Overrides current output format for reports which is defined
77              globally by the report/output_format setting in lvm.conf.  basic
78              is the original format with columns and rows.  If there is more
79              than one report per command, each report is prefixed with the
80              report name for identification. json produces report output in
81              JSON format. See lvmreport(7) for more information.
82
83       -t|--test
84              Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.  This is
85              implemented by disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless
86              returning success to the calling function. This may lead to
87              unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if a tool
88              relies on reading back metadata it believes has changed but
89              hasn't.
90
91       -v|--verbose ...
92              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the
93              detail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.
94
95       --version
96              Display version information.
97
98       -y|--yes
99              Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume
100              the answer yes. Use with extreme caution.  (For automatic no,
101              see -qq.)
102

VARIABLES

104       VG
105              Volume Group name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.
106
107       Tag
108              Tag name.  See lvm(8) for information about tag names and  using
109              tags in place of a VG, LV or PV.
110
111       String
112              See the option description for information about the string con‐
113              tent.
114
115       Size[UNIT]
116              Size is an input number that accepts an  optional  unit.   Input
117              units are always treated as base two values, regardless of capi‐
118              talization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to  1024.   The  default
119              input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.  UNIT rep‐
120              resents other possible input units:  bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.   b|B  is
121              bytes,  s|S  is  sectors  of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes, m|M is
122              megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes, p|P is petabytes,
123              e|E  is  exabytes.  (This should not be confused with the output
124              control --units, where capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)
125

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

127       See lvm(8) for information about environment  variables  used  by  lvm.
128       For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG
129       parameter.
