OPTIONS¶
See
lvm(8) for common options.
- --noudevsync
- Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification
from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing
in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has
rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
EXAMPLE¶
To rename lvold in volume group vg02 to lvnew:
lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold vg02/lvnew
An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is:
lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
