NAME
       pvresize -- Resize physical volume(s)
SYNOPSIS
       pvresize position_args
           [ option_args ]
DESCRIPTION
       pvresize  resizes  a  PV.  The  PV  may already be in a VG and may have
       active LVs allocated on it.
USAGE
       pvresize PV ...

           [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
       Common options for lvm:

           [    --version ]
OPTIONS
       --commandprofile String
              The command profile  to  use  for  command  configuration.   See
              lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.
       --config String
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf(5) set-
              tings.  The String arg uses the same format as  lvm.conf(5),  or
              may use section/field syntax.  See lvm.conf(5) for more informa-
              tion about config.
       -d|--debug ...
              Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail
              of messages sent to the log file and/or syslog (if configured).
       --devices PV
              Restricts  the  devices  that  are visible and accessible to the
              command.  Devices not listed will appear  to  be  missing.  This
              option  can  be  repeated,  or accepts a comma separated list of
              devices. This overrides the devices file.
       --devicesfile String
              A file listing devices that LVM should use.  The file must exist
              in  /etc/lvm/devices/ and is managed with the lvmdevices(8) com-
              mand.  This overrides the  lvm.conf(5)  devices/devicesfile  and
              devices/use_devicesfile settings.
       --driverloaded y|n
              If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.
              For testing and debugging.
       -h|--help
              Display help text.
       --journal String
              Record information in the systemd journal.  This information  is
              in  addition  to information enabled by the lvm.conf log/journal
              setting.  command: record information about the  command.   out-
              put: record the default command output.  debug: record full com-
              mand debugging.
       --lockopt String
              Used to pass options for special cases to  lvmlockd.   See  lvm-
              lockd(8) for more information.
       --longhelp
              Display long help text.
       --nohints
              Do  not  use the hints file to locate devices for PVs. A command
              may read more devices to find PVs when hints are not  used.  The
              command will still perform standard hint file invalidation where
              appropriate.
       --nolocking
              Disable locking.
       --profile String
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on
              the command.
       -q|--quiet ...
              Suppress  output  and log messages. Overrides --debug and --ver-
              bose.  Repeat once to also  suppress  any  prompts  with  answer
              'no'.
       --reportformat basic|json
              Overrides  current  output  format  for reports which is defined
              globally by the  report/output_format  setting  in  lvm.conf(5).
              basic is the original format with columns and rows.  If there is
              more than one report per command, each report is  prefixed  with
              the  report name for identification. json produces report output
              in JSON format. See lvmreport(7) for more information.
       --setphysicalvolumesize Size[m|UNIT]
              Overrides the automatically detected size of the PV.   Use  with
              care, or prior to reducing the physical size of the device.
       -t|--test
              Run  in  test  mode. Commands will not update metadata.  This is
              implemented by disabling all metadata writing  but  nevertheless
              returning  success  to  the  calling  function. This may lead to
              unusual error messages  in  multi-stage  operations  if  a  tool
              relies  on  reading  back  metadata  it believes has changed but
              hasn't.
       -v|--verbose ...
              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to  4  times  to  increase  the
              detail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.
       --version
              Display version information.
       -y|--yes
              Do  not  prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume
              the answer yes. Use with extreme caution.   (For  automatic  no,
              see -qq.)
VARIABLES
       PV     Physical  Volume  name,  a device path under /dev.  For commands
              managing physical extents, a PV positional arg generally accepts
              a  suffix  indicating  a  range (or multiple ranges) of physical
              extents (PEs). When the first PE is omitted, it defaults to  the
              start of the device, and when the last PE is omitted it defaults
              to end.  Start and end range (inclusive):  PV[:PE-PE]...   Start
              and length range (counting from 0): PV[:PE+PE]...
       String See the option description for information about the string con-
              tent.
       Size[UNIT]
              Size is an input number that accepts an  optional  unit.   Input
              units are always treated as base two values, regardless of capi-
              talization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to  1024.   The  default
              input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.  UNIT rep-
              resents other possible input units: b|B is bytes, s|S is sectors
              of  512  bytes,  k|K is KiB, m|M is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB,
              p|P is PiB, e|E is EiB.  (This should not be confused  with  the
              output  control  --units, where capital letters mean multiple of
              1000.)
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       See lvm(8) for information about environment  variables  used  by  lvm.
       For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG
       parameter.
NOTES
       pvresize will refuse to shrink a PV if it has allocated extents  beyond
       the new end.
EXAMPLES
       Expand a PV after enlarging the partition.
       pvresize /dev/sda1
       Shrink  a  PV prior to shrinking the partition (ensure that the PV size
       is appropriate for the intended new partition size).
       pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1
