--atversion String
Specify an LVM version in x.y.z format where x is the
major version, the y is the minor version and z is the
patchlevel (e.g. 2.2.106). When configuration is
displayed, the configuration settings recognized at this
LVM version will be considered only. This can be used to
display a configuration that a certain LVM version
understands and which does not contain any newer settings
for which LVM would issue a warning message when checking
the configuration.
--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
Devices that the command can use. 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.
-f|--file String
Write output to the named file.
-h|--help
Display help text.
--ignoreadvanced
Exclude advanced configuration settings from the output.
--ignorelocal
Ignore the local section. The local section should be
defined in the lvmlocal.conf file, and should contain
config settings specific to the local host which should
not be copied to other hosts.
--ignoreunsupported
Exclude unsupported configuration settings from the
output. These settings are either used for debugging and
development purposes only or their support is not yet
complete and they are not meant to be used in production.
The current and diff types include unsupported settings in
their output by default, all the other types ignore
unsupported settings.
-l|--list
List config settings with summarizing comment. This is the
same as using options --typeconfig list --withsummary.
--lockopt String
Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd. See
lvmlockd(8) for more information.
--longhelp
Display long help text.
--mergedconfig
When the command is run with --config and/or
--commandprofile (or using LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE environment
variable), --profile, or --metadataprofile, merge all the
contents of the "config cascade" before displaying it.
Without merging, only the configuration at the front of
the cascade is displayed. See lvm.conf(5) for more
information about config.
--metadataprofile String
The metadata profile to use for command configuration.
See lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.
--nolocking
Disable locking.
--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'.
--showdeprecated
Include deprecated configuration settings in the output.
These settings are deprecated after a certain version. If
a concrete version is specified with --atversion,
deprecated settings are automatically included if the
specified version is lower than the version in which the
settings were deprecated. The current and diff types
include deprecated settings in their output by default,
all the other types ignore deprecated settings.
--showunsupported
Include unsupported configuration settings in the output.
These settings are either used for debugging or
development purposes only, or their support is not yet
complete and they are not meant to be used in production.
The current and diff types include unsupported settings in
their output by default, all the other types ignore
unsupported settings.
--sinceversion String
Specify an LVM version in x.y.z format where x is the
major version, the y is the minor version and z is the
patchlevel (e.g. 2.2.106). This option is currently
applicable only with --typeconfig new to display all
configuration settings introduced since given version.
-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.
--typeconfig current|default|diff|full|list|missing|new|
profilable|profilable-command|profilable-metadata
current prints the config settings that would be applied
to an lvm command (assuming the command does not override
them on the command line.) This includes: settings that
have been modified in lvm config files, settings that get
their default values from config files, and default
settings that have been uncommented in config files.
default prints all settings with their default values.
Changes made in lvm config files are not reflected in the
output. Some settings get their default values
internally, and these settings are printed as comments.
Other settings get their default values from config files,
and these settings are not printed as comments. diff
prints only config settings that have been modified from
their default values in config files (the difference
between current and default.) full prints every setting
uncommented and set to the current value, i.e. how it
would be used by an lvm command. This includes settings
modified in config files, settings that usually get
defaults internally, and settings that get defaults from
config files. list prints all config names without
values. missing prints settings that are missing from the
lvm config files. A missing setting that usually gets its
default from config files is printed uncommented and set
to the internal default. Settings that get their default
internally and are not set in config files are printed
commented with the internal default. new prints config
settings that have been added since the lvm version
specified by --sinceversion. They are printed with their
default values. profilable prints settings with their
default values that can be set from a profile.
profilable-command prints settings with their default
values that can be set from a command profile.
profilable-metadata prints settings with their default
values that can be set from a metadata profile. Also see
lvm.conf(5).
--unconfigured
Internal option used for generating config file during
build.
--validate
Validate current configuration used and exit with
appropriate return code. The validation is done only for
the configuration at the front of the "config cascade". To
validate the whole merged configuration tree, also use
--mergedconfig. The validation is done even if
lvm.conf(5) config/checks is disabled.
-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.
--withcomments
Display a full comment for each configuration node. For
deprecated settings, also display comments about
deprecation.
--withgeneralpreamble
Include general config file preamble.
--withlocalpreamble
Include local config file preamble.
--withspaces
Where appropriate, add more spaces in output for better
readability.
--withsummary
Display a one line comment for each configuration node.
--withversions
Also display a comment containing the version of
introduction for each configuration node. If the setting
is deprecated, also display the version since which it is
deprecated.
-y|--yes
Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always
assume the answer yes. Use with extreme caution. (For
automatic no, see -qq.)
