lvs produces formatted output about logical volumes.

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.

With --segments, any "seg_" prefixes are optional; otherwise any "lv_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can also be chosen.

The lv_attr bits are:

1

Volume type: (m)irrored, (o)rigin, (p)vmove, (s)napshot, invalid (S)napshot, (v)irtual

2

Permissions: (w)riteable, (r)ead-only

3

Allocation policy: (c)ontiguous, (n)ormal, (a)nywhere, (i)nherited This is capitalised if the volume is currently locked against allocation changes, for example during 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 columns 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
