35 lvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of a logical volume
36 like size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.
38 \fBlvs\fP (8) is an alternative that provides the same information
39 in the style of \fBps\fP (1). \fBlvs\fP is recommended over
43 See \fBlvm\fP for common options and \fBlvs\fP for options given with
47 Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that
48 are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as mirrors,
49 but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable).
50 For example, after creating a mirror using 'lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk',
51 this option will reveal three internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes
52 mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.
55 Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
56 N.B. \fBlvs\fP (8) provides considerably more control over the output.
63 * logical volume access
64 * logical volume status
65 * internal logical volume number
66 * open count of logical volume
67 * logical volume size in sectors
68 * current logical extents associated to logical volume
69 * allocated logical extents of logical volume
70 * allocation policy of logical volume
71 * read ahead sectors of logical volume
72 * major device number of logical volume
73 * minor device number of logical volume
78 Display the mapping of logical extents to physical volumes and
82 Display output in columns, the equivalent of \fBlvs\fP. Options listed
83 are the same as options given in \fBlvs (8)\fP.
85 "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume.
87 logical volumes have been created for this original logical volume,
88 this command shows a list of all snapshot logical volumes and their
89 status (active or inactive) as well.
91 "lvdisplay /dev/vg00/snapshot" shows the attributes of this snapshot
92 logical volume and also which original logical volume
93 it is associated with.
