DESCRIPTIONlvs produces formatted output about logical volumes.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--aligned
Use with --separator to align the output columns.
--noheadings
Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of
output. Useful if grepping the output.
--nosuffix
Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with --units (except h
and H) if processing the output.
-o, --options
Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with
'+' to append to the default selection of columns instead of
replacing it. Column names are: lv_uuid, lv_name, lv_attr,
lv_major, lv_minor, lv_kernel_major, lv_kernel_minor, lv_size,
seg_count, origin, snap_percent, copy_percent, move_pv, lv_tags,
segtype, stripes, stripesize, chunksize, seg_start, seg_size,
seg_tags, devices, regionsize, mirror_log, modules.
With --segments, any "seg_" prefixes are optional; otherwise any
"lv_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can
also be chosen. Use -o help to view the full list of fields
available.
The lv_attr bits are:
1 Volume type: (m)irrored, (M)irrored without initial sync,
(o)rigin, (p)vmove, (s)napshot, invalid (S)napshot,
(v)irtual, mirror (i)mage, mirror (I)mage out-of-sync, under
(c)onversion
2 Permissions: (w)riteable, (r)ead-only
3 Allocation policy: (c)ontiguous, c(l)ing, (n)ormal,
(a)nywhere, (i)nherited This is capitalised if the volume is
currently locked against allocation changes, for example dur‐
ing pvmove (8).
4 fixed (m)inor
5 State: (a)ctive, (s)uspended, (I)nvalid snapshot, invalid
(S)uspended snapshot, mapped (d)evice present without tables,
mapped device present with (i)nactive table
6 device (o)pen
--segments
Use default columns that emphasize segment information.
-O, --sort
Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces
the default selection. Precede any column with - for a reverse
sort on that column.
--separator Separator
String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the
output.
--unbuffered
Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the col‐
umns properly.
--units hsbkmgtHKMGT
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable,
(s)ectors, (b)ytes, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes,
(t)erabytes. Capitalise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead
of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g. --units 3M
