DESCRIPTION
       lvdisplay  allows  you  to  see the attributes of a logical volume like
       size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.

       lvs (8) is an alternative that provides the  same  information  in  the
       style of ps (1).	 lvs is recommended over lvdisplay.

OPTIONS
       See lvm 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-accessible Logical Volumes, such
	      as mirrors, but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not
	      mountable).  For example, after creating a mirror using  'lvcre‐
	      ate  -m1 --mirrorlog disk', this option will reveal three inter‐
	      nal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.

       -c, --colon
	      Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or
	      programs.	  N.B. lvs (8) provides considerably 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

       -m, --maps
	      Display the mapping of logical extents to physical  volumes  and
	      physical	extents.   To  map physical extents to logical extents
	      use  pvs --segments -o+lv_name,seg_start_pe,segtype.

       --columns | -C
	      Display output in	 columns,  the	equivalent  of	lvs.   Options
	      listed are the same as options given in lvs (8).

Examples
       "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume.
       If snapshot logical volumes have been created for this original logical
       volume,	this  command shows a list of all snapshot logical volumes and
       their status (active or inactive) as well.

       "lvdisplay /dev/vg00/snapshot" shows the attributes  of	this  snapshot
       logical	volume and also which original logical volume it is associated
       with.
