Logical Volume Management (LVM)
Situation
The lvscan, lvs, and lvdisplay commands will list the existing logical volumes, but how can I display the physical devices associated with those logical volumes?
Resolution
Use the lvs -o +devices command. For example,
ls-lvm:~ # lvs -o +devices
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert Devices
arch1 asm -wi-ao 120.00m /dev/sdb5(0)
arch2 asm -wi-ao 120.00m /dev/sdb5(30)
critical ceo -wi-ao 240.00m /dev/sdc1(0)
data lrg -wi-ao 500.00m /dev/sdb6(0)
data lrg -wi-ao 500.00m /dev/sdb7(0)
root sys -wi-ao 548.00m /dev/sda3(0)
usr sys -wi-ao 2.52g /dev/sda3(137)
var sys -wi-ao 448.00m /dev/sda3(781)
ls-lvm:~ # lvs -o +devices
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert Devices
arch1 asm -wi-ao 120.00m /dev/sdb5(0)
arch2 asm -wi-ao 120.00m /dev/sdb5(30)
critical ceo -wi-ao 240.00m /dev/sdc1(0)
data lrg -wi-ao 500.00m /dev/sdb6(0)
data lrg -wi-ao 500.00m /dev/sdb7(0)
root sys -wi-ao 548.00m /dev/sda3(0)
usr sys -wi-ao 2.52g /dev/sda3(137)
var sys -wi-ao 448.00m /dev/sda3(781)
