NAME

6       vgscan - scan all disks for volume groups and rebuild caches
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vgscan [-d/--debug] [-h/-?/--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--mknodes]
10       [-P/--partial] [-v/--verbose]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       vgscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and  a  bunch  of
14       other  disk  devices in the system looking for LVM physical volumes and
15       volume groups.  Define a filter in lvm.conf(5) to restrict the scan  to
16       avoid a CD ROM, for example.
17
18       In  LVM2, vgscans take place automatically; but you might still need to
19       run one explicitly after changing hardware.

25              Also checks the LVM special files in /dev that  are  needed  for
26              active  logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes
27              unused ones.
