SYNOPSIS
       pvchange   [--addtag   Tag]   [-A|--autobackup   {y|n}]   [--commandprofile   ProfileName]
       [-d|--debug]  [-f|--force]  [--deltag   Tag]   [--metadataignore   {y|n}]   [-h|-?|--help]

DESCRIPTION
       pvchange allows you to change the allocation permissions of one or more 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 Physical Volume.

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

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