NAME

       lvscan - scan (all disks) for logical volumes

SYNOPSIS

       lvscan    [-a|--all]    [-b|--blockdevice]   [-d|--debug]   [-h|--help]
       [--ignorelockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       lvscan scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices
       in the system for defined logical volumes.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       --all  Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes
              that are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such
              as mirrors, but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not
              mountable).   For  example,  after  creating  a   mirror   using
              ’lvcreate  -m1  --mirrorlog disk’, this option will reveal three
              internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1,  and
              mlog.

       -b, --blockdevice
              Adds  the  device major and minor numbers to the display of each
              logical volume.
