SH DESCRIPTION
pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes
like size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group descriptor
area and so on.
P
\fBpvs\fP (8) is an alternative that provides the same information
in the style of \fBps\fP (1).
SH OPTIONS
See \fBlvm\fP for common options and \fBpvs\fP for options given with
\fB\-\-columns\fP.
TP
I \-c, \-\-colon
Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
N.B. \fBpvs\fP (8) provides considerably more control over the output.
nf
The values are:
* physical volume device name
* volume group name
* physical volume size in kilobytes
* internal physical volume number (obsolete)
* physical volume status
* physical volume (not) allocatable
* current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
* physical extent size in kilobytes
* total number of physical extents
* free number of physical extents
* allocated number of physical extents
fi
TP
I \-s, \-\-short
Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
TP
I \-m, \-\-maps
Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and
logical extents.
TP
I \-\-columns | \-C
Display output in columns, the equivalent of \fBpvs\fP (8). See
\fBpvs (8)\fP for a description of other options with this form of
\fBpvdisplay\fP.
