5.3.6. 为卷组扫描磁盘来建立缓存文件
				The 
vgscan command scans all supported disk devices in the system looking for LVM physical volumes and volume groups. This builds the LVM cache file in the /etc/lvm/cache/.cache file, which maintains a listing of current LVM devices.
			
				LVM runs the 
vgscan command automatically at system startup and at other times during LVM operation, such as when you execute a vgcreate command or when LVM detects an inconsistency.
			注意
					You may need to run the 
vgscan command manually when you change your hardware configuration and add or delete a device from a node, causing new devices to be visible to the system that were not present at system bootup. This may be necessary, for example, when you add new disks to the system on a SAN or hotplug a new disk that has been labeled as a physical volume.
				
				You can define a filter in the 
lvm.conf file to restrict the scan to avoid specific devices. For information on using filters to control which devices are scanned, see 第 5.5 节 “用过滤器控制 LVM 设备扫描”.
