DESCRIPTION

   pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes  of  one  or  more  physical
   volumes  like  size,  physical  extent  size, space used for the volume
   group descriptor area and so on.

   pvs(8) is an alternative that provides  the  same  information  in  the
   style of ps(1).

OPTIONS

   See lvm(8) for common options.

   -C, --columns
          Display output in columns, the equivalent of pvs(8).  See pvs(8)
          for a description of other options with this form of pvdisplay.

   -c, --colon
          Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or
          programs.   N.B.  pvs(8) provides considerably more control over
          the output.

          The values are:

          * physical volume device name
          * volume group name
          * physical volume size in sectors
          * internal physical volume number (obsolete)
          * physical volume status
          * physical volume (not) allocatable
          * current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
          * physical extent size in kilobytes
          * total number of physical extents
          * free number of physical extents
          * allocated number of physical extents

   -s, --short
          Only display the size of the given physical volumes.

   -m, --maps
          Display the mapping of physical extents to logical  volumes  and
          logical extents.
