NAME
vgmknodes - recreate volume group directory and logical volume special files
SYNOPSIS
vgmknodes
[-d|--debug]
[-h|--help]
[--refresh]
[-v|--verbose]
[[VolumeGroupName | LogicalVolumePath]...]
DESCRIPTION
Checks the LVM2 special files in /dev that are needed for active
logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes unused ones.
OPTIONS
- --refresh
-
If any logical volume in the volume group is active, reload its metadata.
This is not necessary in normal operation, but may be useful
if something has gone wrong or if you're doing clustering
manually without a clustered lock manager.
- See lvm for common options.
