VGS(8) VGS(8) NAME vgs - report information about volume groups SYNOPSIS vgs [--aligned] [-d/--debug] [-h/-?/--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--noheadings] [--nosuffix] [-o/--options [+]Field[,Field]] [-O/--sort [+/-]Key1[,[+/-]Key2[,...]]] [-P/--partial] [--separator Separator] [--unbuffered] [--units hsbkmgtHKMGT] [-v/--verbose] [--version] [Vol- umeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]] DESCRIPTION vgs produces formatted output about volume groups. OPTIONS See lvm for common options. --aligned Use with --separator to align the output columns. --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. 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 help to view the full list of fields available. The vg_attr bits are: 1 Permissions: (w)riteable, (r)ead-only 2 Resi(z)eable 3 E(x)ported 4 (p)artial 5 Allocation policy: (c)ontiguous, c(l)ing, (n)ormal, (a)nywhere, (i)nherited 6 (c)lustered -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. --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 SEE ALSO vgdisplay(8), pvs(8), lvs(8) Sistina Software UK LVM TOOLS VGS(8)
