NAME
       lvdisplay - display attributes of a logical volume

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

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.

       -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.

Examples
       "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that	logical	 vol-
       ume.   If snapshot logical volumes have been created for this original
       logical volume, this command shows a list of all snapshot logical vol-
       umes 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.
