DESCRIPTION

       physical volumes.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -a, --all
	      If PhysicalVolumePath is not specified on the command  line  all
	      physical volumes are searched for and used.

       --metadataignore {y|n}
	      Ignore  or un-ignore metadata areas on this physical volume.  If
	      metadata areas on a physical volume are ignored,	LVM  will  not
	      not  store metadata in the metadata areas present on this Physi-
	      cal Volume.

       -u, --uuid
	      Generate new random UUID for specified physical volumes.

       -x, --allocatable {y|n}
	      Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this	physi-
	      cal volume.

Example
       Disallows  the  allocation  of physical extents on this physical volume
       (possibly because of disk errors, or because it will be	removed	 after
       freeing it:

       pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1
