C.6. Selection Criteria Processing Examples

This section provides a series of examples showing how to use selection criteria in commands that process LVM logical volumes.

This example shows the initial configuration of a group of logical volumes, including thin snapshots. Thin snapshots have the "skip activation" flag set by default. This example also includes the logical volume lvol4 which also has the "skip activation" flag set.

lvs -o name,skip_activation,layout,role
  LV    SkipAct         Layout      Role
  root                  linear      public
  swap                  linear      public
  lvol1                 thin,sparse public
  lvol2                 thin,sparse public,origin,thinorigin
  lvol3 skip activation thin,sparse public,snapshot,thinsnapshot
  lvol4 skip activation linear      public
  pool                  thin,pool   private

# lvs -o name,skip_activation,layout,role
  LV    SkipAct         Layout      Role                        
  root                  linear      public                      
  swap                  linear      public                      
  lvol1                 thin,sparse public                      
  lvol2                 thin,sparse public,origin,thinorigin    
  lvol3 skip activation thin,sparse public,snapshot,thinsnapshot
  lvol4 skip activation linear      public                      
  pool                  thin,pool   private

The following command removes the skip activation flag from all logical volumes that are thin snapshots.

lvchange --setactivationskip n -S 'role=thinsnapshot'
  Logical volume "lvol3" changed.

# lvchange --setactivationskip n -S 'role=thinsnapshot'
  Logical volume "lvol3" changed.

The following command shows the configuration of the logical volumes after executing the lvchange command. Note that the "skip activation" flag has not been unset from the logical volume that is not a thin snapshot.

lvs -o name,active,skip_activation,layout,role

If you execute a command on a whole item while specifying selection criteria that match an item from that whole, the entire whole item is processed. For example, if you change a volume group while selecting one or more items from that volume group, the whole volume group is selected. This example selects logical volume lvol1, which is part of volume group vg. All of the logical volumes in volume group vg are processed.

lvs -o name,vg_name
  LV    VG
  root  fedora
  swap  fedora
  lvol1 vg
  lvol2 vg
  lvol3 vg
  lvol4 vg
  lvol5 vg
  lvol6 vg
  pool  vg

vgchange -ay -S 'lv_name=lvol1'
  7 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active

# lvs -o name,vg_name
  LV    VG    
  root  fedora
  swap  fedora
  lvol1 vg    
  lvol2 vg    
  lvol3 vg    
  lvol4 vg    
  lvol5 vg    
  lvol6 vg    
  pool  vg 

# vgchange -ay -S 'lv_name=lvol1'
  7 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active

The following example shows a more complex selection criteria statement. In this example, all logical volumes are tagged with mytag if they have a role of origin and are also named lvol[456] or the logical volume size is more than 5 gigabytes.

lvchange --addtag mytag -S '(role=origin && lv_name=~lvol[456]) || lv_size > 5g'
  Logical volume "root" changed.
  Logical volume "lvol5" changed.

# lvchange --addtag mytag -S '(role=origin && lv_name=~lvol[456]) || lv_size > 5g'
  Logical volume "root" changed.
  Logical volume "lvol5" changed.
