A system administrator needs to check the attributes of all volume groups on a Linux server to ensure they have enough free space to allocate to a new logical volume. Which command should the administrator execute?
The vgs command provides a concise and formatted output showing various attributes of all volume groups on a system, including their size, the amount of space allocated, and free space. By using this command, the administrator can quickly ascertain if there is sufficient free space in any of the existing volume groups to accommodate a new logical volume. The other commands listed either do not provide the necessary information or apply to logical volumes (lvs) rather than volume groups.
