LVM(LVPOLL) Red Hat, Inc. LVM(LVPOLL)
lvm lvpoll — Continue already initiated poll operation on a
logical volume
lvm lvpoll option_args position_args
[ option_args ]
lvm lvpoll is an internal command used by lvmpolld(8) to monitor
and complete lvconvert(8) and pvmove(8) operations. lvpoll itself
does not initiate these operations and should not normally need to
be run directly.

[ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
Common options for lvm:
[ -d|--debug ]
[ -h|--help ]
[ -q|--quiet ]
[ -t|--test ]
[ -v|--verbose ]
[ -y|--yes ]
[ --commandprofile String ]
[ --config String ]
[ --devices PV ]
[ --devicesfile String ]
[ --driverloaded y|n ]
[ --journal String ]
[ --lockopt String ]
[ --longhelp ]
[ --nohints ]
[ --nolocking ]
[ --profile String ]
[ --version ]
--abort
Stop processing a poll operation in lvmpolld.
-A|--autobackup y|n
Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically
after a change. Enabling this is strongly advised! See
vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.
--commandprofile String
The command profile to use for command configuration. See
lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.
--config String
Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf(5)
settings. The String arg uses the same format as
lvm.conf(5), or may use section/field syntax. See
lvm.conf(5) for more information about config.
-d|--debug ...
Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the
detail of messages sent to the log file and/or syslog (if
configured).
--devices PV
Devices that the command can use. This option can be
repeated or accepts a comma separated list of devices. This
overrides the devices file.
--devicesfile String
A file listing devices that LVM should use. The file must
exist in /etc/lvm/devices/ and is managed with the
lvmdevices(8) command. This overrides the lvm.conf(5)
devices/devicesfile and devices/use_devicesfile settings.
--driverloaded y|n
If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-
mapper. For testing and debugging.
--handlemissingpvs
Allows a polling operation to continue when PVs are
missing, e.g. for repairs due to faulty devices.
-h|--help
Display help text.
-i|--interval Number
Report progress at regular intervals.
--journal String
Record information in the systemd journal. This
information is in addition to information enabled by the
lvm.conf log/journal setting. command: record information
about the command. output: record the default command
output. debug: record full command debugging.
--lockopt String
Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd. See
lvmlockd(8) for more information.
--longhelp
Display long help text.
--nohints
Do not use the hints file to locate devices for PVs. A
command may read more devices to find PVs when hints are
not used. The command will still perform standard hint file
invalidation where appropriate.
--nolocking
Disable locking.
--polloperation pvmove|convert|merge|merge_thin
The command to perform from lvmpolld.
--profile String
An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile,
depending on the command.
-q|--quiet ...
Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and
--verbose. Repeat once to also suppress any prompts with
answer 'no'.
-t|--test
Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata. This
is implemented by disabling all metadata writing but
nevertheless returning success to the calling function.
This may lead to unusual error messages in multi-stage
operations if a tool relies on reading back metadata it
believes has changed but hasn't.
-v|--verbose ...
Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the
detail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.
--version
Display version information.
-y|--yes
Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always
assume the answer yes. Use with extreme caution. (For
automatic no, see -qq.)
LV Logical Volume name. See lvm(8) for valid names. An LV
positional arg generally includes the VG name and LV name,
e.g. VG/LV.
String See the option description for information about the string
content.
Size[UNIT]
Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit.
Input units are always treated as base two values,
regardless of capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer
to 1024. The default input unit is specified by letter,
followed by |UNIT. UNIT represents other possible input
units: b|B is bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is
KiB, m|M is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB, p|P is PiB, e|E is
EiB. (This should not be confused with the output control
--units, where capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)
See lvm(8) for information about environment variables used by
lvm. For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a
required VG parameter.
To find the name of the pvmove LV that was created by an original
pvmove /dev/name command, use the command:
lvs -a -S move_pv=/dev/name.
Continue polling a pvmove operation.
lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove vg00/pvmove0
Abort a pvmove operation.
lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove --abort vg00/pvmove0
Continue polling a mirror conversion.
lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg00/lvmirror
Continue mirror repair.
lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg/damaged_mirror
--handlemissingpvs
Continue snapshot merge.
lvm lvpoll --polloperation merge vg/snapshot_old
Continue thin snapshot merge.
lvm lvpoll --polloperation merge_thin vg/thin_snapshot
