lvs reports per-lv by default.
However, depending on the specified fields, it reports per-segments
as if '--segments' are given, for the fields are per-segment info.
# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
lvol4 mvg -wi-a- 21.88G
# lvs --segments
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
lvol4 mvg -wi-a- 1 linear 7.45G
lvol4 mvg -wi-a- 1 linear 7.44G
lvol4 mvg -wi-a- 1 linear 6.99G
In this case, mvg/lvol4 consists of 3 segments.
# dmsetup table mvg-lvol4
0 15613952 linear 8:33 8576
15613952 15605760 linear 8:35 16768
31219712 14655488 linear 8:34 164224
With combination of LVM2 2.02.20 or newer and device-mapper 1.02.16
or newer, you can see which field belongs to which category by
'lvs -o help'.
