vgs
The command line tool "vgs" is a part of the LVM (Logical Volume Manager) package in Linux. It stands for "Volume Group Scan" and is used to display information about volume groups, including their names, sizes, free space, and physical volumes. The tool provides a summary of all volume groups configured on the system, allowing users to manage and troubleshoot storage resources. When executed without any arguments, "vgs" displays a tabular output format that includes the volume group name, attributes, size, number of logical volumes, physical volumes, and available space. Using the "-o" option, users can specify which fields they want to display, offering flexibility in customizing the output. Additionally, the "-v" or "--verbose" option provides a detailed view with additional information about the volume groups. The "vgs" command is a powerful tool for system administrators and users who need to manage and maintain volume groups on their Linux systems.
