pvck(8)

NAME

   pvck --- check physical volume metadata

SYNOPSIS

   pvck    [--commandprofile    ProfileName]    [-d|--debug]   [-h|--help]
   [-v|--verbose]       [--labelsector       sector]        PhysicalVolume
   [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

   pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.

OPTIONS

   See lvm(8) for common options.

   --labelsector sector
          By  default,  4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM
          label, starting at sector  0.   This  parameter  allows  you  to
          specify  a  different starting sector for the scan and is useful
          for recovery situations.  For  example,  suppose  the  partition
          table  is  corrupted  or lost on /dev/sda, but you suspect there
          was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MiB.  This area of the
          disk  may be scanned by using the --labelsector parameter with a
          value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):

          pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda

          Note that a script can be used with  --labelsector  to  automate
          the process of finding LVM labels.
