The default file is +/etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8) command is used to +add or remove device entries. If the file does not exist, or if lvm.conf +includes use_devicesfile=0, then lvm will not use a devices file. + +To use a device with lvm, add it to the devices file with the command +lvmdevices --adddev, and to prevent lvm from seeing or using a device, +remove it from the devices file with lvmdevices --deldev. The +vgimportdevices(8) command adds all PVs from a VG to the devices file, +and updates the VG metadata to include device IDs of the PVs. + +Commands adding new devices to the devices file necessarily look outside +the existing devices file to find the devices to add. pvcreate, vgcreate, +and vgextend also look outside the devices file to create new PVs and add +them to the devices file. + +LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific IDs, such +as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific IDs for virtual device +types (which also aim to be as unique and stable as possible.) +These device IDs are also written in the VG metadata. When no hardware or +virtual ID is available, lvm falls back using the unstable device name as +the device ID. When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to +find devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot. + +When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look at devices +outside the devices file, but when devnames are used as a fallback, lvm +will scan devices outside the devices file to locate PVs on renamed +devices. A config setting search_for_devnames can be used to control the +scanning for renamed devname entries. + +Related to the devices file, the new command option --devices <devnames> +allows a list of devices to be specified for the command to use, +overriding the devices file. The listed devices act as a sort of devices +file in terms of limiting which devices lvm will see and use. Devices +that are not listed will appear to be missing to the lvm command. + +Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which allows lvm +to be used with different sets of devices, e.g. system devices do not need +to be exposed to a specific application, and the application can use lvm on +its own devices that are not exposed to the system. The option +--devicesfile <filename> is used to select the devices file to use with the +command. Without the option set, the default system devices file is used. + +Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file. + +With no devices file, lvm will use any device on the system, and applies +the filter to limit the full set of system devices. With a devices file, +the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf or the +command line are ignored. The vgimportdevices command is one exception +which does apply the regex filter when looking for a VG to import. + +If a devices file exists, lvm will use it, even if it's empty. An empty +devices file means lvm will see no devices. + +If the system devices file does not yet exist, the pvcreate or vgcreate +commands will create it if they see no existing VGs on the system. +lvmdevices --addev and vgimportdevices will always create a new devices file +if it does not yet exist. + +It is recommended to use lvm commands to make changes to the devices file to +ensure proper updates. + +.SH USAGE +Print devices in the devices file. +.br +.P +\fBlvmdevices\fP +.br +.RS 4 +[ COMMON_OPTIONS ] +.RE +.br +- + +Check the devices file and report incorrect values. +.br +.P +\fBlvmdevices\fP \fB--check\fP +.br +.RS 4 +[ COMMON_OPTIONS ] +.RE +.br +- + +Update the devices file to fix incorrect values. +.br +.P +\fBlvmdevices\fP \fB--update\fP +.br +.RS 4 +[ COMMON_OPTIONS ] +.RE +.br +- + +Add a device to the devices file. +.br +.P +\fBlvmdevices\fP \fB--adddev\fP \fIPV\fP +.br +.RS 4 +[ COMMON_OPTIONS ] +.RE +.br +- + +Remove a device from the devices file. +.br +.P +\fBlvmdevices\fP \fB--deldev\fP \fIPV\fP +.br +.RS 4 +[ COMMON_OPTIONS ] +.RE +.br +- + +Find the device with the given PVID and add it to the devices file. +.br +.P +\fBlvmdevices\fP \fB--addpvid\fP \fIString\fP +.br +.RS 4 +[ COMMON_OPTIONS ] +.RE +.br +- + +Remove the devices file entry for the given PVID. +.br +.P +\fBlvmdevices\fP \fB--delpvid\fP \fIString\fP +.br +.RS 4 +[ COMMON_OPTIONS ] +.RE +.br +- + +Common options for command: +. +.RS 4 +.RE + +Common options for lvm: +. +.RS 4 +.ad l +[ \fB-d\fP|\fB--debug\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB-h\fP|\fB--help\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB-q\fP|\fB--quiet\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB-t\fP|\fB--test\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB-v\fP|\fB--verbose\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB-y\fP|\fB--yes\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--commandprofile\fP \fIString\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--config\fP \fIString\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--devices\fP \fIPV\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--devicesfile\fP \fIString\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--driverloaded\fP \fBy\fP|\fBn\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--lockopt\fP \fIString\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--longhelp\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--nolocking\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--profile\fP \fIString\fP ] +.ad b +.br +.ad l +[ \fB--version\fP ] +.ad b +.RE +.SH OPTIONS +.HP +.ad l +\fB--adddev\fP \fIPV\fP +.br +Add a device to the devices file. +.ad b +.HP +.ad l +\fB--addpvid\fP \fIString\fP +.br +Find a device with the PVID and add the device to the devices file. +.ad b +.HP +.ad l +\fB--check\fP +.br +Check the content of the devices file. +.ad b +.HP +.ad l +\fB--commandprofile\fP \fIString\fP +.br +The command profile to use for command configuration. +See \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) for more information about profiles. +.ad b +.HP +.ad l +\fB--config\fP \fIString\fP +.br +Config settings for the command.
