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
              inactive, 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 lo‐
              cation and name of the underlying device node  may  depend
              on the distribution, configuration (e.g. udev), or release
              version.   ay  specifies  autoactivation, which is used by
              system-generated activation commands.  By default, LVs are
              autoactivated.  An autoactivation property can be set on a
              VG or LV to disable autoactivation,  see  --setautoactiva‐
              tion  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_activa‐
              tion_volume_list is undefined (the default), it has no ef‐
              fect.   If auto_activation_volume_list is defined and emp‐
              ty, no LVs are autoactivated.  Items included by  auto_ac‐
              tivation_volume_list  will not be autoactivated if the au‐
              toactivation property has been disabled.  See  lvmlockd(8)
              for  more  information  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
              missing PVs to be activated.  (This does not  include  the
              "mirror"  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)
              activation_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.
              normal applies common sense rules such as not placing par‐
              allel stripes on the same PV.  inherit applies the VG pol‐
              icy to an LV.  contiguous requires new PEs be placed adja‐
              cent to existing PEs.  cling places new PEs on the same PV
              as  existing  PEs  in the same stripe of the LV.  If there
              are sufficient PEs for an allocation, but normal does  not
              use  them,  anywhere will use them even if it reduces per‐
              formance, e.g. by placing two stripes on the same PV.  Op‐
              tional positional PV args on the command line can also  be
              used  to  limit which PVs the command will use for alloca‐
              tion.  See lvm(8) for more information about allocation.

       -A|--autobackup y|n
              Specifies if metadata should be  backed  up  automatically
              after  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 invalidates. 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 spe‐
              cial string value default switches settings back to  their
              default  kernel  values  and removes them from the list of
              settings stored in LVM metadata.  See lvmcache(7) for more
              information.

       --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
              kernel 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  ex‐
              tents  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 information.

       --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 re‐
              quests for a period of time to allow the thin pool  to  be
              extended.   Errors  are  returned if no space is available
              after the timeout.  (Also see dm-thin-pool  kernel  module
              option  no_space_timeout.)  See lvmthin(7) for more infor‐
              mation.

       -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 oper‐
              ations 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.
              debug: record full command debugging.

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

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       -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 un‐
              bounded.  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 un‐
              bounded.  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
              automated 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
              command may read more devices to find PVs when  hints  are
              not  used.  The  command  will still perform standard hint
              file invalidation 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
              zero 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 in‐
              terrupted by reboot or crash, can be  restarted  from  the
              last checkpoint with --poll y.  When no, background trans‐
              formation  of an LV will not occur, and the transformation
              will not complete. It may not be appropriate to immediate‐
              ly 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,  de‐
              pending 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 de‐
              fault which allows the kernel to choose a  suitable  value
              automatically.  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
              machine 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
              corrupted  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
              necessary  in normal operation, but may be useful if some‐
              thing has gone wrong, or if some form of manual LV sharing
              is being 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 identifi‐
              cation. json produces report output in  JSON  format.  See
              lvmreport(7) for more information.

       --resync
              Initiates mirror synchronization. Synchronization general‐
              ly  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 mir‐
              ror device and copied to the others. This can take consid‐
              erable time, during which the LV is without a complete re‐
              dundant  copy of the data.  See lvmraid(7) for more infor‐
              mation.

       -S|--select String
              Select objects for processing and reporting based on spec‐
              ified 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 ac‐
              tivated 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 deacti‐
              vation.  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 autoactivation property is disabled, the VG or LV will
              not   be  activated  by  a  command  doing  autoactivation
              (vgchange, lvchange, or pvscan using -aay.)  If  autoacti‐
              vation  is  disabled on a VG, no LVs will be autoactivated
              in that VG, and the LV autoactivation property has no  ef‐
              fect.   If  autoactivation is enabled on a VG, autoactiva‐
              tion 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
              early 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  --ig‐
              norelockingfailure, --ignoremonitoring, --poll n, and set‐
              ting    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  nev‐
              ertheless  returning success to the calling function. This
              may lead to unusual error messages in  multi-stage  opera‐
              tions  if  a  tool  relies on reading back metadata it be‐
              lieves 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
              assume the answer yes. Use with extreme caution.  (For au‐
              tomatic 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.
              Input units are always treated as base two values, regard‐
              less of capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to
              1024.  The default input unit is specified by letter, fol‐
              lowed 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 con‐
              trol --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.
