VGMKNODES(8)                                   System Manager's Manual                                   VGMKNODES(8)



NAME
       vgmknodes — recreate volume group directory and logical volume special files

SYNOPSIS
       vgmknodes  [--commandprofile  ProfileName]  [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [--refresh] [--reportformat {basic|json}]
       [-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
       See lvm(8) for common 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.
