NAME
       pvck - check physical volume metadata

SYNOPSIS
       pvck  [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]	[-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] Physi-
       calVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION
       pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

       --labelsector sector
	      By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an  LVM
	      label,  starting	at  sector  0.	 This parameter allows you to
	      specify a different starting sector for the scan and is  useful
	      for  recovery  situations.   For example, suppose the partition
	      table is corrupted or lost on /dev/sda, but you  suspect	there
	      was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB.  This area of the
	      disk may be scanned by using the --labelsector parameter with a
	      value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):

	      pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda

	      Note  that  a script can be used with --labelsector to automate
	      the process of finding LVM labels.
