OPTIONS         top


       -a|--activate y|n|ay
              Change the active state of LVs.  An active LV can  be  used
              through  a  block device, allowing data on the LV to be ac‐
              cessed.  y makes LVs active, or available.  n makes LVs in‐
              active, or unavailable.  The block device  for  the  LV  is
              added or removed from the system using device-mapper in the
              kernel.  A symbolic link /dev/VGName/LVName pointing to the
              device  node  is  also  added/removed.   All  software  and
              scripts should access the device through the symbolic  link
              and  present  this as the name of the device.  The location
              and name of the underlying device node may  depend  on  the
              distribution,  configuration  (e.g.  udev), or release ver‐
              sion.  ay specifies autoactivation, which is used  by  sys‐
              tem-generated activation commands.  By default, LVs are au‐
              toactivated.  An autoactivation property can be set on a VG
              or  LV  to  disable autoactivation, see --setautoactivation
              y|n in vgchange, lvchange, vgcreate, and lvcreate.  Display
              the property with vgs  or  lvs  "-o  autoactivation".   The
              lvm.conf(5)  auto_activation_volume_list  includes names of
              VGs or LVs that should be autoactivated, and  anything  not
              listed  is  not  autoactivated.   When auto_activation_vol‐
              ume_list is undefined (the default), it has no effect.   If
              auto_activation_volume_list  is  defined  and empty, no LVs
              are autoactivated.  Items included by  auto_activation_vol‐
              ume_list  will  not  be autoactivated if the autoactivation
              property has been disabled.  See lvmlockd(8) for  more  in‐
              formation  about  activation  options  ey and sy for shared
              VGs.

       --activationmode partial|degraded|complete
              Determines if LV activation is allowed when PVs  are  miss‐
              ing,  e.g.  because of a device failure.  complete only al‐
              lows LVs with no missing PVs to be activated,  and  is  the
              most restrictive mode.  degraded allows RAID LVs with miss‐
              ing  PVs to be activated.  (This does not include the "mir‐
              ror" type, see "raid1" instead.)   partial  allows  any  LV
              with  missing  PVs to be activated, and should only be used
              for recovery or repair.  For default, see lvm.conf(5) acti‐
              vation_mode.  See lvmraid(7) for more information.

       --addtag Tag
              Adds a tag to a PV, VG or LV. This option can  be  repeated
              to  add  multiple  tags at once. See lvm(8) for information
              about tags.

       --alloc contiguous|cling|cling_by_tags|normal|anywhere|inherit
              Determines the allocation policy when a  command  needs  to
              allocate Physical Extents (PEs) from the VG. Each VG and LV
              has   an  allocation  policy  which  can  be  changed  with
              vgchange/lvchange, or overridden on the command line.  nor‐
              mal applies common sense rules such as not placing parallel
              stripes on the same PV.  inherit applies the VG  policy  to
              an  LV.   contiguous requires new PEs be placed adjacent to
              existing PEs.  cling places new PEs on the same PV  as  ex‐
              isting PEs in the same stripe of the LV.  If there are suf‐
              ficient  PEs  for  an  allocation,  but normal does not use
              them, anywhere will use them even  if  it  reduces  perfor‐
              mance, e.g. by placing two stripes on the same PV.  Option‐
              al  positional PV args on the command line can also be used
              to limit which PVs the command  will  use  for  allocation.
              See lvm(8) for more information about allocation.

       -A|--autobackup y|n
              Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically af‐
              ter  a  change.   Enabling  this  is  strongly advised! See
              vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.

       --cachemode writethrough|writeback|passthrough
              Specifies when writes to a cache LV  should  be  considered
              complete.   writeback considers a write complete as soon as
              it is stored in the cache pool.   writethough  considers  a
              write  complete  only  when  it has been stored in both the
              cache pool and on the origin LV.  While writethrough may be
              slower for writes, it is more resilient if something should
              happen to a device associated with the cache pool LV.  With
              passthrough,  all  reads are served from the origin LV (all
              reads miss the cache) and all writes are forwarded  to  the
              origin  LV;  additionally, write hits cause cache block in‐
              validates. See lvmcache(7) for more information.

       --cachepolicy String
              Specifies the cache policy for a cache LV.  See lvmcache(7)
              for more information.

       --cachesettings String
              Specifies tunable values for a cache LV in  "Key  =  Value"
              form.  Repeat this option to specify multiple values.  (The
              default  values  should  usually be adequate.)  The special
              string value default switches settings back  to  their  de‐
              fault  kernel values and removes them from the list of set‐
              tings stored in LVM metadata.  See lvmcache(7) for more in‐
              formation.

       --commandprofile String
              The command profile to use for command configuration.   See
              lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.

       --compression y|n
              Controls  whether compression is enabled or disable for VDO
              volume.  See lvmvdo(7) for more information about  VDO  us‐
              age.

       --config String
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf(5)
              settings.    The   String  arg  uses  the  same  format  as
              lvm.conf(5),  or  may  use   section/field   syntax.    See
              lvm.conf(5) for more information about config.

       -C|--contiguous y|n
              Sets  or  resets  the contiguous allocation policy for LVs.
              Default is no contiguous allocation based on  a  next  free
              principle.   It is only possible to change a non-contiguous
              allocation policy to contiguous if  all  of  the  allocated
              physical extents in the LV are already contiguous.

       -d|--debug ...
              Set  debug  level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the
              detail of messages sent to the log file and/or  syslog  (if
              configured).

       --deduplication y|n
              Controls  whether  deduplication  is enabled or disable for
              VDO volume.  See lvmvdo(7) for more information  about  VDO
              usage.

       --deltag Tag
              Deletes  a  tag from a PV, VG or LV. This option can be re‐
              peated to delete multiple tags at once. See lvm(8) for  in‐
              formation about tags.

       --detachprofile
              Detaches   a  metadata  profile  from  a  VG  or  LV.   See
              lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.

       --devices PV
              Devices that the command can use. This option  can  be  re‐
              peated  or  accepts a comma separated list of devices. This
              overrides the devices file.

       --devicesfile String
              A file listing devices that LVM should use.  The file  must
              exist   in   /etc/lvm/devices/  and  is  managed  with  the
              lvmdevices(8) command.  This overrides the lvm.conf(5)  de‐
              vices/devicesfile and devices/use_devicesfile settings.

       --discards passdown|nopassdown|ignore
              Specifies how the device-mapper thin pool layer in the ker‐
              nel should handle discards.  ignore causes the thin pool to
              ignore  discards.   nopassdown  causes  the  thin  pool  to
              process discards itself to allow reuse of unneeded  extents
              in the thin pool.  passdown causes the thin pool to process
              discards  itself (like nopassdown) and pass the discards to
              the underlying device.  See lvmthin(7)  for  more  informa‐
              tion.

       --driverloaded y|n
              If  set  to no, the command will not attempt to use device-
              mapper.  For testing and debugging.

       --errorwhenfull y|n
              Specifies thin pool behavior when data space is  exhausted.
              When  yes,  device-mapper  will immediately return an error
              when a thin pool is full and an I/O request requires space.
              When no, device-mapper will queue these I/O requests for  a
              period  of time to allow the thin pool to be extended.  Er‐
              rors are returned if no space is available after the  time‐
              out.    (Also   see   dm-thin-pool   kernel  module  option
              no_space_timeout.)  See lvmthin(7) for more information.

       -f|--force ...
              Override various  checks,  confirmations  and  protections.
              Use with extreme caution.

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       -K|--ignoreactivationskip
              Ignore  the  "activation skip" LV flag during activation to
              allow LVs with the flag set to be activated.

       --ignorelockingfailure
              Allows a command to continue with read-only metadata opera‐
              tions after locking failures.

       --ignoremonitoring
              Do not interact with dmeventd unless  --monitor  is  speci‐
              fied.   Do not use this if dmeventd is already monitoring a
              device.

       --journal String
              Record information in the systemd journal.   This  informa‐
              tion  is in addition to information enabled by the lvm.conf
              log/journal setting.  command: record information about the
              command.  output: record the default command  output.   de‐
              bug: record full command debugging.

       --lockopt String
              Used  to  pass  options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See
              lvmlockd(8) for more information.

       --longhelp

       -j|--major Number
              Sets the major number of an LV block device.

       --[raid]maxrecoveryrate Size[k|UNIT]
              Sets the maximum recovery rate for a  RAID  LV.   The  rate
              value  is  an  amount of data per second for each device in
              the array.  Setting the rate to 0 means it will be unbound‐
              ed.  See lvmraid(7) for more information.

       --metadataprofile String
              The metadata profile to use for command configuration.  See
              lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.

       --minor Number
              Sets the minor number of an LV block device.

       --[raid]minrecoveryrate Size[k|UNIT]
              Sets the minimum recovery rate for a  RAID  LV.   The  rate
              value  is  an  amount of data per second for each device in
              the array.  Setting the rate to 0 means it will be unbound‐
              ed.  See lvmraid(7) for more information.

       --monitor y|n
              Start (yes) or stop (no) monitoring an  LV  with  dmeventd.
              dmeventd monitors kernel events for an LV, and performs au‐
              tomated  maintenance  for  the  LV  in  reponse to specific
              events.  See dmeventd(8) for more information.

       --nohints
              Do not use the hints file to locate devices for PVs. A com‐
              mand may read more devices to find PVs when hints  are  not
              used. The command will still perform standard hint file in‐
              validation where appropriate.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking.

       --noudevsync
              Disables  udev  synchronisation.  The process will not wait
              for notification from udev. It will  continue  irrespective
              of any possible udev processing in the background. Only use
              this  if  udev  is not running or has rules that ignore the
              devices LVM creates.

       -P|--partial
              Commands will do their best to activate LVs with missing PV
              extents.  Missing extents may be replaced with error or ze‐
              ro segments according to  the   missing_stripe_filler  set‐
              ting.  Metadata may not be changed with this option.

       -p|--permission rw|r
              Set  access permission to read only r or read and write rw.

       -M|--persistent y|n
              When yes, makes the specified minor number persistent.

       --poll y|n
              When yes, start the background transformation of an LV.  An
              incomplete transformation, e.g. pvmove or lvconvert  inter‐
              rupted  by  reboot or crash, can be restarted from the last
              checkpoint with --poll y.  When no, background  transforma‐
              tion  of  an LV will not occur, and the transformation will
              not complete. It may not be appropriate to immediately poll
              an LV after activation, in which case --poll n can be  used
              to defer polling until a later --poll y command.

       --profile String
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depend‐
              ing on the command.

       -q|--quiet ...
              Suppress  output  and  log  messages. Overrides --debug and
              --verbose.  Repeat once to also suppress any  prompts  with
              answer 'no'.

       -r|--readahead auto|none|Number
              Sets read ahead sector count of an LV.  auto is the default
              which allows the kernel to choose a suitable value automat‐
              ically.  none is equivalent to zero.

       --readonly
              Run the command in a special read-only mode which will read
              on-disk  metadata  without  needing to take any locks. This
              can be used to peek inside metadata used by a  virtual  ma‐
              chine  image  while  the virtual machine is running. No at‐
              tempt will be made to communicate  with  the  device-mapper
              kernel  driver,  so this option is unable to report whether
              or not LVs are actually in use.

       --rebuild PV
              Selects a PV to rebuild in a raid LV. Multiple PVs  can  be
              rebuilt by repeating this option.  Use this option in place
              of  --resync  or --syncaction repair when the PVs with cor‐
              rupted data are known, and  their  data  should  be  recon‐
              structed  rather than reconstructing default (rotating) da‐
              ta.  See lvmraid(7) for more information.

       --refresh
              If the LV is active, reload its metadata.  This is not nec‐
              essary in normal operation, but may be useful if  something
              has gone wrong, or if some form of manual LV sharing is be‐
              ing used.

       --reportformat basic|json
              Overrides  current  output  format for reports which is de‐
              fined  globally  by  the  report/output_format  setting  in
              lvm.conf(5).  basic is the original format with columns and
              rows.   If  there is more than one report per command, each
              report is prefixed with the report name for identification.
              json  produces  report   output   in   JSON   format.   See
              lvmreport(7) for more information.

       --resync
              Initiates mirror synchronization. Synchronization generally
              happens  automatically,  but  this option forces it to run.
              Also see --rebuild to synchronize a  specific  PV.   During
              synchronization,  data  is read from the primary mirror de‐
              vice and copied to the others. This can  take  considerable
              time,  during  which the LV is without a complete redundant
              copy of the data.  See lvmraid(7) for more information.

       -S|--select String
              Select objects for processing and reporting based on speci‐
              fied criteria.  The criteria syntax is described  by  --se‐
              lect  help  and  lvmreport(7).  For reporting commands, one
              row is displayed for each  object  matching  the  criteria.
              See  --options help for selectable object fields.  Rows can
              be displayed with an additional "selected"  field  (-o  se‐
              lected)  showing  1  if the row matches the selection and 0
              otherwise.  For non-reporting commands  which  process  LVM
              entities, the selection is used to choose items to process.

       -k|--setactivationskip y|n
              Persistently  sets  (yes)  or  clears  (no) the "activation
              skip" flag on an LV.  An LV with this flag set is not acti‐
              vated unless the --ignoreactivationskip option is  used  by
              the activation command.  This flag is set by default on new
              thin  snapshot  LVs.   The flag is not applied to deactiva‐
              tion.  The current value of the flag is  indicated  in  the
              lvs lv_attr bits.

       --setautoactivation y|n
              Set the autoactivation property on a VG or LV.  Display the
              property with vgs or lvs "-o autoactivation".  When the au‐
              toactivation property is disabled, the VG or LV will not be
              activated  by  a  command  doing  autoactivation (vgchange,
              lvchange, or pvscan using -aay.)  If autoactivation is dis‐
              abled on a VG, no LVs will be autoactivated in that VG, and
              the LV autoactivation property has no effect.  If autoacti‐
              vation is enabled on a VG, autoactivation can  be  disabled
              for individual LVs.

       --[raid]syncaction check|repair
              Initiate  different  types  of  RAID synchronization.  This
              causes the RAID LV to read all data and  parity  blocks  in
              the  array  and check for discrepancies (mismatches between
              mirrors or incorrect parity values).  check will count  but
              not  correct discrepancies.  repair will correct discrepan‐
              cies.  See lvs(8) for reporting discrepancies found or  re‐
              paired.

       --sysinit
              Indicates that vgchange/lvchange is being invoked from ear‐
              ly  system  initialisation  scripts  (e.g. rc.sysinit or an
              initrd), before  writable  filesystems  are  available.  As
              such,  some functionality needs to be disabled and this op‐
              tion acts as a shortcut which selects an appropriate set of
              options. Currently, this is equivalent to  using  --ignore‐
              lockingfailure,  --ignoremonitoring,  --poll n, and setting
              env       var        LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES.
              vgchange/lvchange  skip autoactivation, and defer to pvscan
              autoactivation.

       -t|--test
              Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.   This
              is implemented by disabling all metadata writing but never‐
              theless returning success to the calling function. This may
              lead to unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if
              a  tool  relies  on  reading  back metadata it believes has
              changed but hasn't.

       -v|--verbose ...
              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the
              detail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.

       --version
              Display version information.

       --[raid]writebehind Number
              The maximum number of outstanding writes that  are  allowed
              to devices in a RAID1 LV that is marked write-mostly.  Once
              this value is exceeded, writes become synchronous (i.e. all
              writes  to the constituent devices must complete before the
              array signals the write has completed). Setting  the  value
              to  zero  clears  the  preference  and allows the system to
              choose the value arbitrarily.

       --[raid]writemostly PV[:t|n|y]
              Mark a device in a RAID1 LV as write-mostly.  All reads  to
              these  drives  will be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
              This keeps the number of I/Os to the drive  to  a  minimum.
              The  default  behavior is to set the write-mostly attribute
              for the specified PV.  It is also possible  to  remove  the
              write-mostly flag by adding the suffix :n at the end of the
              PV  name, or to toggle the value with the suffix :t. Repeat
              this option to change the attribute on multiple PVs.

       -y|--yes
              Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always as‐
              sume the answer yes. Use with extreme caution.  (For  auto‐
              matic no, see -qq.)

       -Z|--zero y|n
              Set  zeroing  mode for thin pool. Note: already provisioned
              blocks from pool in non-zero mode are not  cleared  in  un‐
              written parts when setting --zero y.

VARIABLES         top

       VG     Volume Group name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.

       LV     Logical Volume name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.  An LV
              positional arg generally includes the VG name and LV name,
              e.g. VG/LV.  LV1 indicates the LV must have a specific
              type, where the accepted LV types are listed. (raid repre‐
              sents raid<N> type).

       Tag    Tag name.  See lvm(8) for information about tag names and
              using tags in place of a VG, LV or PV.

       Select Select indicates that a required positional parameter can
              be omitted if the --select option is used.  No arg appears
              in this position.

       String See the option description for information about the string
              content.

       Size[UNIT]
              Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit.  In‐
              put units are always treated as base two values, regardless
              of capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to 1024.
              The default input unit is specified by letter, followed by
              |UNIT.  UNIT represents other possible input units: b|B is
              bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is KiB, m|M is MiB,
              g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB, p|P is PiB, e|E is EiB.  (This
              should not be confused with the output control --units,
              where capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES         top

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