The command "vgs -v" is used in Linux systems to display information about the volume groups (VG) present on the system in a verbose format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "vgs" stands for "volume group status" and is a command used to retrieve information about the volume groups on a Linux system.
• "-v" is an option or flag that stands for "verbose." When used, it provides a more detailed output, including additional information about the volume groups.

By running "vgs -v," you can gather information such as the volume group name, the number of physical volumes (PV) included in the group, the number of logical volumes (LV) present, the size of the volume group, the physical extent size, and more. This detailed output helps administrators or users to understand the status and configuration of volume groups in the system.
