+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B vgcreate
+creates a new volume group called
+.I VolumeGroupName
+using the block special device
+.IR PhysicalVolumePath
+previously configured for LVM with
+.BR pvcreate (8).
+.SH OPTIONS
+See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
+.TP
+.BR \-c ", " \-\-clustered " " { y | n }
+If clustered locking is enabled, this defaults to \fBy\fP indicating that 
+this Volume Group is shared with other nodes in the cluster.
+
+If the new Volume Group contains only local disks that are not visible 
+on the other nodes, you must specify \fB\-\-clustered\ n\fP.
+If the cluster infrastructure is unavailable on a particular node at a
+particular time, you may still be able to use such Volume Groups.
+.TP
+.BR \-l ", " \-\-maxlogicalvolumes " " \fIMaxLogicalVolumes\fR
+Sets the maximum number of logical volumes allowed in this
+volume group. 
+The setting can be changed with \fBvgchange\fP.
+For volume groups with metadata in lvm1 format, the limit
+and default value is 255.  
+If the metadata uses lvm2 format, the default value is 0
+which removes this restriction: there is then no limit.
+.TP
+.BR \-p ", " \-\-maxphysicalvolumes " " \fIMaxPhysicalVolumes\fR
+Sets the maximum number of physical volumes that can belong
+to this volume group.
+The setting can be changed with \fBvgchange\fP.
+For volume groups with metadata in lvm1 format, the limit
+and default value is 255.  
+If the metadata uses lvm2 format, the default value is 0
+which removes this restriction: there is then no limit.
+If you have a large number of physical volumes in
+a volume group with metadata in lvm2 format, 
+for tool performance reasons, you should consider 
+some use of \fB--metadatacopies 0\fP
+as described in \fBpvcreate(8)\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-s ", " \-\-physicalextentsize " " \fIPhysicalExtentSize\fR[\fBkKmMgGtT\fR]
+Sets the physical extent size on physical volumes of this volume group.
+A size suffix (k for kilobytes up to t for terabytes) is optional, megabytes
+is the default if no suffix is present.  
+The default is 4 MB and it must be at least 1 KB and a power of 2.
+
+Once this value has been set, it is difficult to change it without recreating
+the volume group which would involve backing up and restoring data on any 
+logical volumes.  However, if no extents need moving for the new
+value to apply, it can be altered using vgchange \-s.
+
+If the volume group metadata uses lvm1 format, extents can vary in size from
+8KB to 16GB and there is a limit of 65534 extents in each logical volume.  The
+default of 4 MB leads to a maximum logical volume size of around 256GB.  
+
+If the volume group metadata uses lvm2 format those restrictions do not apply,
+but having a large number of extents will slow down the tools but have no
+impact on I/O performance to the logical volume.  The smallest PE is 1KB.
+
+The 2.4 kernel has a limitation of 2TB per block device.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+To create a volume group named
+.B test_vg 
+using physical volumes
+.BR /dev/hdk1 ", and " /dev/hdl1
+with default physical extent size of 4MB:
+.nf
+
+\	vgcreate test_vg /dev/sdk1 /dev/sdl1
