NAME

SYNOPSIS

       pvresize position_args
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION

       pvresize resizes a PV. The PV may already be in a VG and may have active LVs allocated on it.

           [    --version ]

OPTIONS

       --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(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.

       -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).

       --devices PV
              Restricts the devices that are visible and accessible to the command.   Devices  not  listed  will
              appear  to  be missing. This option can be repeated, 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) devices/devicesfile and
              devices/use_devicesfile settings.

       --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.

       --journal String
              Record information in the systemd journal.  This information 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.

       --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. Use with caution, concurrent commands may produce incorrect results.

       --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|json_std
              Overrides current output format for reports which is defined 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 identification. json
              produces report output in JSON format. json_std produces report output in  JSON  format  which  is
              more compliant with JSON standard.  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.)

VARIABLES

       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: 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 control --units, where capital letters
              mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       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.

NOTES

       pvresize will refuse to shrink a PV if it has allocated extents beyond the new end.

EXAMPLES

       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
