vgextend adds one or more PVs to a VG. This increases the space available for LVs in the VG. .P Also, PVs that have gone missing and then returned, e.g. due to a transient device failure, can be added back to the VG without re-initializing them (see --restoremissing). .P If the specified PVs have not yet been initialized with pvcreate, vgextend will initialize them. In this case pvcreate options can be used, e.g. --labelsector, --metadatasize, --metadataignore, --pvmetadatacopies, --dataalignment, --dataalignmentoffset.
