DESCRIPTION
lvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of a logical volume like size, read/write status, snapshot informa‐
tion etc.
lvs(8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps(1). lvs(8) is recommended over
lvdisplay.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options and lvs for options given with --columns.
--all Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that are components of normally-acces‐
sible Logical Volumes, such as mirrors, but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mount‐
able). For example, after creating a mirror using lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk, this option will
reveal three internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.
-C, --columns
Display output in columns, the equivalent of lvs(8). Options listed are the same as options given in
lvs(8).
-c, --colon
Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs. N.B. lvs(8) provides con‐
siderably more control over the output.
The values are:
· logical volume name
· volume group name
· logical volume access
· logical volume status
· internal logical volume number
· open count of logical volume
· logical volume size in sectors
· current logical extents associated to logical volume
· allocated logical extents of logical volume
· allocation policy of logical volume
· read ahead sectors of logical volume
· major device number of logical volume
· minor device number of logical volume
with:
lvdisplay vg00/snapshot
