NAME
       lvdisplay - display attributes of a logical volume

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

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).

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

       -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 kilobytes
	      * 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.

Examples
       "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical	volume
       and  its mapping of logical to physical extents. In case snapshot logi‐
       cal 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.
