NAME

SYNOPSIS

       lvrename  [-A|--autobackup  {y|n}]  [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]  [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [-f|--force] [--noudevsync] {OldLogi-
       calVolume{Name|Path} NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path} | VolumeGroupName OldLogicalVolumeName NewLogicalVolumeName }

DESCRIPTION

       lvrename renames an existing logical volume from OldLogicalVolume{Name|Path} to NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path}.

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 cre-
	      ates.

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
