DESCRIPTION
vgs produces formatted output about volume groups.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--aligned | |||||||||||||
Use with --separator to align the output columns. | |||||||||||||
--nameprefixes | |||||||||||||
Add an "LVM2_" prefix plus the field name to the output. Useful with --noheadings to produce a list of field=value pairs that can be used to set environment variables (for example, in udev (7) rules). | |||||||||||||
--noheadings | |||||||||||||
Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of output. Useful if grepping the output. | |||||||||||||
--nosuffix | |||||||||||||
Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with --units (except h and H) if processing the output. | |||||||||||||
-o, --options | |||||||||||||
Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with + to append
to the default selection of columns. Column names are: vg_fmt, vg_uuid,
vg_name, vg_attr, vg_size, vg_free, vg_sysid, vg_extent_size, vg_extent_count,
vg_free_count, max_lv, max_pv, pv_count, lv_count, snap_count, vg_seqno,
vg_tags, vg_mda_count, vg_mda_free, and vg_mda_size.
Any "vg_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in either pvs (8)
or lvs (8) can also be chosen, but columns cannot be taken from both
at the same time.
Use -o helpto view the full list of fields available. | |||||||||||||
The vg_attr bits are:
| |||||||||||||
-O, --sort | Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces the default selection. Precede any column with - for a reverse sort on that column. | ||||||||||||
--rows | Output columns as rows. | ||||||||||||
--separator Separator | |||||||||||||
String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the output. | |||||||||||||
--unbuffered | |||||||||||||
Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the columns properly. | |||||||||||||
--units hsbkmgtHKMGT | |||||||||||||
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable, (s)ectors, (b)ytes, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes. Capitalise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g. --units 3M | |||||||||||||
--unquoted | |||||||||||||
When used with --nameprefixes, output values in the field=value pairs are not quoted. | |||||||||||||
