vgdisplay allows you to see the attributes of VolumeGroupName (or all volume groups if none is given) with it's physical and logical volumes and their sizes etc.

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

See lvm(8) for common options.

-A, --activevolumegroups

Only select the active volume groups. The volume group is considered active if at least one of its logical volumes is active.

-C, --columns

Display output in columns, the equivalent of vgs(8). Options listed are the same as options given in vgs(8).

-c, --colon

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

The values are:

1  volume group name
2  volume group access
3  volume group status
4  internal volume group number
5  maximum number of logical volumes
6  current number of logical volumes
7  open count of all logical volumes in this volume group
8  maximum logical volume size
9  maximum number of physical volumes
10 current number of physical volumes
11 actual number of physical volumes
12 size of volume group in kilobytes
13 physical extent size
14 total number of physical extents for this volume group
15 allocated number of physical extents for this volume group
16 free number of physical extents for this volume group
17 uuid of volume group

-s, --short

Give a short listing showing the existence of volume groups.

-v, --verbose

Display verbose information containing long listings of physical and logical volumes. If given twice, also display verbose runtime information of vgdisplay's activities.

--version

Display version and exit successfully.
