12 vgscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and a bunch
13 of other disk devices in the system looking for LVM physical volumes
14 and volume groups. Define a filter in \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) to restrict
15 the scan to avoid a CD ROM, for example.
17 In LVM2, vgscans take place automatically; but you might still need to
18 run one explicitly after changing hardware.
20 See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
23 Also checks the LVM special files in /dev that are needed for active
24 logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes unused ones.
