Overrides the automatically-detected size of the PV. Use with care, or
prior to reducing the physical size of the device.
EXAMPLES
Expand the PV on /dev/sda1 after enlarging the partition with fdisk:
pvresize /dev/sda1
Shrink the PV on /dev/sda1 prior to shrinking the partition with fdisk
(ensure that the PV size is appropriate for your intended new partition
size):
pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1
RESTRICTIONS
pvresize
will refuse to shrink
PhysicalVolume
if it has allocated extents after where its new end would be. In the future,
it should relocate these elsewhere in the volume group if there is sufficient
free space, like
pvmove
does.
pvresize
won't currently work correctly on LVM1 volumes or PVs with extra
metadata areas.
