16 lvs produces formatted output about logical volumes.
17
19 See lvm for common options.
20
21 --aligned
22 Use with --separator to align the output columns.
23
24 --noheadings
25 Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of
26 output. Useful if grepping the output.
27
28 --nosuffix
29 Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with --units (except h
30 and H) if processing the output.
31
32 -o, --options
33 Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with
34 '+' to append to the default selection of columns instead of
35 replacing it. Column names are: lv_uuid, lv_name, lv_attr,
36 lv_major, lv_minor, lv_kernel_major, lv_kernel_minor, lv_size,
37 seg_count, origin, snap_percent, copy_percent, move_pv, lv_tags,
38 segtype, stripes, stripesize, chunksize, seg_start, seg_size,
39 seg_tags, devices, regionsize, mirror_log, modules.
40
41 With --segments, any "seg_" prefixes are optional; otherwise any
42 "lv_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can
43 also be chosen. Use -o help to view the full list of fields
44 available.
45
46 The lv_attr bits are:
47
48 1 Volume type: (m)irrored, (M)irrored without initial sync,
49 (o)rigin, (p)vmove, (s)napshot, invalid (S)napshot, (v)irtual
50
51 2 Permissions: (w)riteable, (r)ead-only
52
53 3 Allocation policy: (c)ontiguous, (n)ormal, (a)nywhere,
54 (i)nherited This is capitalised if the volume is currently
55 locked against allocation changes, for example during pvmove
56 (8).
57
58 4 fixed (m)inor
59
60 5 State: (a)ctive, (s)uspended, (I)nvalid snapshot, invalid
61 (S)uspended snapshot, mapped (d)evice present without tables,
62 mapped device present with (i)nactive table
63
64 6 device (o)pen
65
66 --segments
67 Use default columns that emphasize segment information.
68
69 -O, --sort
70 Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces
71 the default selection. Precede any column with - for a reverse
72 sort on that column.
73
74 --separator Separator
75 String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the
76 output.
77
78 --unbuffered
79 Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the col‐
80 umns properly.
81
82 --units hsbkmgtHKMGT
83 All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable,
84 (s)ectors, (b)ytes, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes,
85 (t)erabytes. Capitalise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead
86 of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g. --units 3M
