NAME
       pvscan - scan all disks for physical volumes

SYNOPSIS
       pvscan  [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [--ignore‐
       lockingfailure]	 [-e|--exported]   [-n|--novolumegroup]	  [-s|--short]
       [-u|--uuid]

       pvscan  [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]  --cache  [-a|--activate ay] [--major
       major --minor minor | DevicePath]...

DESCRIPTION
       pvscan scans all supported LVM block devices in the system for physical
       volumes.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -e, --exported
	      Only show physical volumes belonging to exported volume groups.

       -n, --novolumegroup
	      Only show physical volumes not belonging to any volume group.

       -s, --short
	      Short listing format.

       -u, --uuid
	      Show  UUIDs  (Uniform  Unique Identifiers) in addition to device
	      special names.

       -a, --activate ay
	      Together with the information already cached in  lvmetad,	 auto‐
	      matically	 activate  any logical volumes that become activatable
	      after the scan done on one or more devices.  The logical	volume
	      to  autoactivate	is matched against the activation/auto_activa‐
	      tion_volume_list set in lvm.conf. Autoactivation is not yet sup‐
	      ported  on logical volumes that are part of partial or clustered
	      volume groups.

       --cache [--major major --minor minor | DevicePath ]...
	      Scan one or more devices and  instruct  the  lvmetad  daemon  to
	      update  its cached state accordingly.  Called internally by udev
	      rules.  All devices listed explicitly are	 processed  regardless
	      of any device filters set in lvm.conf.
