NAME

6       lvdisplay - display attributes of a logical volume
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lvdisplay  [-c/--colon]  [-d/--debug]  [-h/-?/--help] [--ignorelocking‐
10       failure] [--maps] [-P/--partial] [-v/--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [Log‐
11       icalVolumePath...]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       lvdisplay  allows  you  to  see the attributes of a logical volume like
15       size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.
16
17       lvs (8) is an alternative that provides the  same  information  in  the
18       style of ps (1).
19

OPTIONS

21       See lvm for common options.
22
23       -c, --colon
24              Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or
25              programs.  N.B. lvs (8) provides considerably more control  over
26              the output.
27
28              The values are:
29
30              * logical volume name
31              * volume group name
32              * logical volume access
33              * logical volume status
34              * internal logical volume number
35              * open count of logical volume
36              * logical volume size in kilobytes
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
43
44
45       -m, --maps
46              Display  the  mapping of logical extents to physical volumes and
47              physical extents.
48

Examples

50       "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume.
51       If snapshot logical volumes have been created for this original logical
52       volume, this command shows a list of all snapshot logical  volumes  and
53       their status (active or inactive) as well.
54
55       "lvdisplay  /dev/vg00/snapshot"  shows  the attributes of this snapshot
56       logical volume and also which original logical volume it is  associated
57       with.
