NAME
pvck - check physical volume metadata
SYNOPSIS
pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] Physi-
calVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--labelsector sector
By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM
label, starting at sector 0. This parameter allows you to spec-
ify a different starting sector for the scan and is useful for
recovery situations. For example, suppose the partition table
is corrupted or lost on /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an
LVM partition at approximately 100 MB. This area of the disk
may be scanned by using the --labelsector parameter with a value
of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):
pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda
Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate
the process of finding LVM labels.
