VGSCAN(8)                   System Manager's Manual                  VGSCAN(8)

NAME
       vgscan - Search for all volume groups

SYNOPSIS
       vgscan
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION
       vgscan scans all supported LVM block devices in the system for VGs.

USAGE
       vgscan
           [    --ignorelockingfailure ]
           [    --mknodes ]
           [    --notifydbus ]
           [    --reportformat basic|json ]
           [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]

       Common options for lvm:
           [ -d|--debug ]
           [ -h|--help ]
           [ -q|--quiet ]
           [ -t|--test ]
           [ -v|--verbose ]
           [ -y|--yes ]
           [    --commandprofile String ]
           [    --config String ]
           [    --driverloaded y|n ]
           [    --lockopt String ]
           [    --longhelp ]
           [    --nolocking ]
           [    --profile String ]
           [    --version ]

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

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

       -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).

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

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       --ignorelockingfailure
              Allows a command to continue with read-only metadata operations
              after locking failures.

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

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --mknodes
              Also checks the LVM special files in /dev that are needed for
              active LVs and creates any missing ones and removes unused ones.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking.

       --notifydbus
              Send a notification to D-Bus. The command will exit with an er-
              ror if LVM is not built with support for D-Bus notification, or
              if the notify_dbus config setting is disabled.

       --profile String
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on
              the command.

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

       --reportformat basic|json
              Overrides current output format for reports which is defined
              globally by the report/output_format setting in lvm.conf.  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.

       -t|--test
              Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.  This is
              implemented by disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless
              returning success to the calling function. This may lead to un-
              usual 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 de-
              tail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.

       --version
              Display version information.

       -y|--yes
              Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume
              the answer yes. Use with extreme caution.  (For automatic no,
              see -qq.)

VARIABLES
       String
              See the option description for information about the string con-
              tent.

       Size[UNIT]
              Size is an input number that accepts an  optional  unit.   Input
              units are always treated as base two values, regardless of capi-
              talization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to  1024.   The  default
              input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.  UNIT rep-
              resents other possible input units:  bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.   b|B  is
              bytes,  s|S  is  sectors  of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes, m|M is
              megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes, p|P is petabytes,
              e|E  is  exabytes.  (This should not be confused with the output
              control --units, where capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       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.
