Try running lvdisplay with no arguments to see a list. Then you'll see output like this: --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/gold-vol/music VG Name gold-vol LV UUID iWUDhx-JmPh-Ajzf-yUz7-AMuZ-r1My-ff8gwx LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 42.00 GB .. You can be more specific with: r...@gold:~# lvdisplay /dev/gold-vol/ms --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/gold-vol/ms VG Name gold-vol LV UUID Rzwm6s-b67s-3Ixs-3Aj9-ILmT-R4mI-QsAHfr LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 20.00 GB Current LE 5120 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:5 As you can see the VG name is displayed there. > Is there a way to easily find the VG of a Logical volume ?
