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

       -a, --all
              If PhysicalVolumePath is not specified on the command line all
              physical volumes are searched for and used.

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

              Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this
              physical volume.

Example
       "pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1" disallows the allocation of physical extents
       on this physical volume (possibly because of disk errors, or because it
       will be removed after freeing it.
