vgs produces formatted output about volume groups.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--all
List all volume groups. Equivalent to not specifying any volume groups.
--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.
Use -o vg_all to select all volume group columns.
Use -o help to view the full list of columns available.
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.
The vg_attr bits are:
1
Permissions: (w)riteable, (r)ead-only
2
Resi(z)eable
3
E(x)ported
4
(p)artial: one or more physical volumes belonging to the volume group
are missing from the system
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 hHbBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable, (b)ytes, (s)ectors,
(k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes, (p)etabytes, (e)xabytes.
Capitalise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead of 1024. Can also specify
custom units e.g. --units 3M
--unquoted
When used with --nameprefixes, output values in the field=value pairs are not quoted.
