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 for lvm:
           [ -d|--debug ]
           [ -h|--help ]
           [ -q|--quiet ]
           [ -t|--test ]

           [    --longhelp ]
           [    --profile String ]
           [    --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 set-
              tings.  The String arg uses the same format as lvm.conf, or may
              use section/field syntax.  See lvm.conf(5) for more information
              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).
       --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.
       --lockopt String
              Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See lvm-
              lockd(8) for more information.
       --longhelp
              Display long help text.
       --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.  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: bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.  b|B is
              bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K  is  kilobytes,  m|M  is
              megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes, p|P is petabytes,
              e|E is exabytes.  (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
