pvresize(8)


NAME

   pvresize --- resize a disk or partition in use by LVM2

SYNOPSIS

   pvresize   [--commandprofile   ProfileName]   [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]
   [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose]  [--version]  [--reportformat  {basic|json}]
   [--setphysicalvolumesize size] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

   pvresize  resizes PhysicalVolume which may already be in a volume group
   and have active logical volumes allocated on it.

OPTIONS

   See lvm(8) for common options.

   --setphysicalvolumesize size
          Overrides the automatically-detected size of the PV.   Use  with
          care, or prior to reducing the physical size of the device.

EXAMPLES

   Expand the PV on /dev/sda1 after enlarging the partition with fdisk:

   pvresize /dev/sda1

   Shrink  the PV on /dev/sda1 prior to shrinking the partition with fdisk
   (ensure that the PV size is appropriate for your intended new partition
   size):

   pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1

RESTRICTIONS

   pvresize  will  refuse  to  shrink  PhysicalVolume  if it has allocated
   extents after where its new end would be.  In  the  future,  it  should
   relocate  these  elsewhere  in  the volume group if there is sufficient
   free space, like pvmove does.

   pvresize won't currently work correctly on LVM1 volumes.
