PVRESIZE(8) System Manager's Manual PVRESIZE(8)
pvresize - Resize physical volume(s)
pvresize position_args
[ option_args ]
pvresize resizes a PV. The PV may already be in a VG and may have
active LVs allocated on it.
pvresize PV ...
[ --setphysicalvolumesize Size[m|UNIT] ]
[ --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 ]
[ --longhelp ]
[ --profile String ]
[ --version ]
--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
settings. 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.
--longhelp
Display long help text.
--profile String
An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending
on the command.
-q|--quiet ...
Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and
--verbose. 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.
--setphysicalvolumesize Size[m|UNIT]
Overrides the automatically detected size of the PV. Use with
care, or prior to reducing the physical size of the device.
-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
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.
-y|--yes
Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume
the answer yes. Use with extreme caution. (For automatic no,
see -qq.)
PV
Physical Volume name, a device path under /dev. For commands
managing physical extents, a PV positional arg generally
accepts a suffix indicating a range (or multiple ranges) of
physical extents (PEs). When the first PE is omitted, it
defaults to the start of the device, and when the last PE is
omitted it defaults to end. Start and end range (inclusive):
PV[:PE-PE]... Start and length range (counting from 0):
PV[:PE+PE]...
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, 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: 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.)
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.
pvresize will refuse to shrink a PV if it has allocated extents
beyond the new end.
Expand a PV after enlarging the partition.
pvresize /dev/sda1
Shrink a PV prior to shrinking the partition (ensure that the PV size
is appropriate for the intended new partition size).
pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1
