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.  The output consists of one
       line for each Logical Volume indicating whether or not it is active,  a
       snapshot  or  origin, the size of the device and its allocation policy.
       Use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8)  to  obtain  more-comprehensive  information
       about the 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  'lvcre-
              ate  -m1 --mirrorlog disk', this option will reveal three inter-
              nal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.

       -b, --blockdevice
              This option is now ignored.  Instead, use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8)
              to obtain the device number.
