NAME

lvmdiskscan - scan for all disks / multiple devices / partitions available

SYNOPSIS

lvmdiskscan [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--lvmpartitions] [-v|--verbose]

-l, --lvmpartition: Gives an overview about all LVM system identified partitions only.
-v, --verbose: Gives verbose runtime information about lvmdiskscan's activities.
