pvinfo is a small perl tool to display the physical allocation layout of lvm physical volumes known to the system.

pvinfo needs perl and the lvm utilities installed, which you'll need to get the lvm running in the first place anyway.
latest version: pvinfo
pvinfo doesn't have any options.
It needs root rights to execute the lvm tools pvdisplay and lvdisplay, whose output it parses. I recommend calling pvinfo with sudo from a normal user's account, as shown in the screenshot above.
