DESCRIPTION
lvrename
renames an existing logical volume from
OldLogicalVolume{Name|Path}
to
NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path}.
OPTIONS
See lvm 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 /dev/vg02/lvnew
An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is
lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
