+.TH PVCK 8 "LVM TOOLS #VERSION#" "Sistina Software UK" \" -*- nroff -*-
+.SH NAME
+pvck \- check physical volume metadata
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pvck
+.RB [ \-d | \-\-debug ]
+.RB [ \-h | \-\-help ]
+.RB [ \-v | \-\-verbose ]
+.RB [ \-\-labelsector ]
+.IR PhysicalVolume " [" PhysicalVolume ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.
+.SH OPTIONS
+See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
+.TP
+.BR \-\-labelsector " sector"
+By default, 4 sectors of \fBPhysicalVolume\fP are scanned for an LVM label,
+starting at sector 0.  This parameter allows you to specify 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 \fB--labelsector\fP parameter
+with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):
+.sp
+.BI "pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda"
+.sp
+Note that a script can be used with \fB--labelsector\fP to automate the
+process of finding LVM labels.
