[ 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 ]
--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.
--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
lvmlockd(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 error 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
--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.
-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.)
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.
