pvs − report information about physical volumes
pvs [−−aligned] [−d/−−debug] [−h/−?/−−help] [−−ignorelockingfailure] [−−noheadings] [−−nosuffix] [−o/−−options [+]Field[,Field]] [−O/−−sort [+/-]Key1[,[+/-]Key2[,...]]] [−−separator Separator] [−−unbuffered] [−−units hsbkmgtHKMGT] [−v/−−verbose] [−−version] [PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]]
pvs produces formatted output about physical volumes.
See lvm
for common options.
−−aligned
Use with −−separator to align the output columns.
−−noheadings
Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of output. Useful if grepping the output.
−−nosuffix
Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with −−units (except h and H) if processing the output.
−o, −−options
Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with ’+’ to append to the default selection of columns. Column names are: pv_fmt, pv_uuid, pv_size, dev_size, pv_free, pv_used, pv_name, pv_attr, pv_pe_count, pv_pe_alloc_count, pv_tags, pvseg_start, pvseg_size, pe_start. With --segments, any "pvseg_" prefixes are optional; otherwise any "pv_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can also be chosen. The pv_attr bits are: (a)llocatable and e(x)ported. Use -o help to view the full list of fields available.
−−segments
Produces one line of output for each contiguous allocation of space on each Physical Volume, showing the start (pvseg_start) and length (pvseg_size) in units of physical extents.
−O, −−sort
Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces the default selection. Precede any column with - for a reverse sort on that column.
−−separator Separator
String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the output.
−−unbuffered
Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the columns properly.
−−units hsbkmgtHKMGT
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable, (s)ectors, (b)ytes, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes. Capitalise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g. −−units 3M
