OPTIONS -A, --autobackup {y|n} Controls automatic backup of VG metadata after the change (see vgcfgbackup(8)). Default is yes. -d, --debug Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG). -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -v, --verbose Gives verbose progress messages.EXAMPLETo rename lvold in volume group vg02 to lvnew: lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold /dev/vg02/lvnew An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is lvrename vg02 lvold lvnewDIAGNOSTICSlvrename returns an exit code of 0 for success or > 0 for error: 1 invalid logical volume name 2 error checking existence of volume group 3 volume group inactive 4 new logical volume special file already exists 5 old logical volume doesn't exist 6 volume group names are different 7 new logical volume already exist 9 error reading volume group 10 error getting index of old logical volume 11 error renaming logical volume in kernel 12 error creating new logical volume in kernel 13 error writing VGDA to physical volume(s) 14 error creating device special for new logical volume 15 invalid volume group name 95 driver/module not in kernel 96 invalid I/O protocol version 97 error locking logical volume manager 98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8)) 99 invalid command lineENVIRONMENT VARIABLESLVM_AUTOBACKUP If this variable is set to "no" then the automatic backup of VG metadata is turned off. LVM_VG_MAX_BACKUPS This variable determins the backup history depth of kept VGDA copy files in /etc/lvmconf. It can be set to a positive number between 0 and 999. The higher this number is the more steps are you able to backup with vgcfgrestore(8) from the changes you make to your volume groups. LVM_VG_NAME The default Volume Group Name to use. Setting this variable enables you to enter just the Logical Volume Name rather than its com- plete path.SEE ALSOlvm(8), lvchange(8), vgcreate(8), vgrename(8)AUTHORHeinz Mauelshagen <Linux-LVM@Sistina.com> Heinz Mauelshagen LVM TOOLS LVRENAME(8)
