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).

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	 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.
