LVRENAME(8)                                    System Manager's Manual                                    LVRENAME(8)



NAME
       lvrename — rename a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
       lvrename   [-A|--autobackup   {y|n}]   [--commandprofile  ProfileName]  [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]  [-t|--test]
       [-v|--verbose]  [--version]  [-f|--force]   [--noudevsync]   [--reportformat   {basic|json}]   {OldLogicalVol‐
       ume{Name|Path} NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path} | VolumeGroupName OldLogicalVolumeName NewLogicalVolumeName}

DESCRIPTION
       lvrename  renames  an  existing  logical  volume  or an existing historical logical volume from OldLogicalVol‐
       ume{Name|Path} to NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path}.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       --noudevsync
              Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev.  It  will  continue
              irrespective  of  any  possible udev processing in the background.  You should only use this if udev is
              not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.

EXAMPLE
       To rename lvold in volume group vg02 to lvnew:

       lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold vg02/lvnew

       An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is:

       lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
