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

SYNOPSIS
       vgmknodes  [--commandprofile  ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [--refresh] [-v|--ver‐
       bose] [[VolumeGroupName|LogicalVolumePath]...]

DESCRIPTION
       Checks the LVM2 special files in /dev that are needed for active logical volumes and  cre‐
       ates 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.
