13 lvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of a logical volume
14 like size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.
16 \fBlvs\fP (8) is an alternative that provides the same information
17 in the style of \fBps\fP (1). \fBlvs\fP is recommended over
21 See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
24 Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
25 N.B. \fBlvs\fP (8) provides considerably more control over the output.
32 * logical volume access
33 * logical volume status
34 * internal logical volume number
35 * open count of logical volume
36 * logical volume size in sectors
37 * current logical extents associated to logical volume
38 * allocated logical extents of logical volume
39 * allocation policy of logical volume
40 * read ahead sectors of logical volume
41 * major device number of logical volume
42 * minor device number of logical volume
47 Display the mapping of logical extents to physical volumes and
50 "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume.
52 logical volumes have been created for this original logical volume,
53 this command shows a list of all snapshot logical volumes and their
54 status (active or inactive) as well.
56 "lvdisplay /dev/vg00/snapshot" shows the attributes of this snapshot
57 logical volume and also which original logical volume
58 it is associated with.
