.SH Examples
2005-12-02 23:35:07 +03:00
"lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume.
If snapshot
2002-01-04 23:35:19 +03:00
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.
