NAME
vgscan - scan all disks for volume groups and rebuild caches
SYNOPSIS
vgscan
[-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help]
[--ignorelockingfailure]
[--mknodes]
[-P|--partial]
[-v|--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
vgscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and a bunch
of other disk devices in the system looking for LVM physical volumes
and volume groups. Define a filter in lvm.conf(5) to restrict
the scan to avoid a CD ROM, for example.
In LVM2, vgscans take place automatically; but you might still need to
run one explicitly after changing hardware.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
- --mknodes
-
Also checks the LVM special files in /dev that are needed for active
logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes unused ones.
