NAME
       lvrename — rename a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
       lvrename  [-A|--autobackup  {y|n}] [--commandprofile ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help]
       [-t|--test]  [-v|--verbose]  [--version]   [-f|--force]   [--noudevsync]   {OldLogicalVol‐
       ume{Name|Path} NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path} | VolumeGroupName OldLogicalVolumeName NewLogi‐
       calVolumeName}

DESCRIPTION
       lvrename renames an existing logical volume from OldLogicalVolume{Name|Path}  to  NewLogi‐
       calVolume{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 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
