LVMREPORT(7)                                                      LVMREPORT(7)

NAME
       lvmreport -- LVM reporting and related features

DESCRIPTION
       LVM uses single reporting infrastructure that sets standard on LVM com-
       mand's output and it provides wide range of configuration settings  and
       command  line  options to customize report and filter the report's out-
       put.

Categorization based on reporting facility
       Based on functionality, commands which make use of the reporting infra-
       structure are divided in two groups:
       Report-oriented
              These  commands inform about current LVM state and their primary
              role is to display this information in compendious way. To  make
              a  distinction, we will name this report as main report. The set
              of report-only  commands  include:  pvs,  vgs,  lvs,  pvdisplay,
              vgdisplay, lvdisplay, lvm devtypes, lvm fullreport.  For further
              information about main report, see main report specifics.
       Processing-oriented
              These commands are responsible for changing LVM state  and  they
              do not contain any main report as identified for report-oriented
              commands, they only perform some kind of processing. The set  of
              processing-oriented   commands   includes:  pvcreate,  vgcreate,
              lvcreate,  pvchange,  vgchange,  lvchange,  pvremove,  vgremove,
              lvremove,  pvresize,  vgextend,  vgreduce,  lvextend,  lvreduce,
              lvresize, lvrename, pvscan, vgscan, lvscan, pvmove, vgcfgbackup,
              vgck, vgconvert, vgexport, vgimport, vgmknodes.
If  enabled,  so called log report is either displayed solely (for processing-
oriented commands) or in addition to main  report  (for  report-oriented  com-
mands).  The  log report contains a log of operations, messages and per-object
status with complete object identification collected during LVM command execu-
tion. See log report specifics for more information about this report type.

Terms
       When  describing  reporting functionality and features in this text, we
       will use terms row and column. By row we mean series of values reported
       for  single  entity  (for example single PV, VG or LV). Each value from
       the row then belongs to a column of certain type. The columns have col-
       umn  headings which are short descriptions for the columns. The columns
       are referenced by column names. Please note  that  this  text  is  also
       using term field interchangeably with the term column. Most of the time
       the term columns is abbreviated as col in configuration.

Common report configuration settings and command line options
       There are common configuration settings and command line options  which
       apply  to  both main report and log report. Following lists contain all
       of them, separated into groups based on their use.
              Common configuration settings:

                     o  Changing report output format, composition  and  other
                        output modifiers:

                        -  report/two_word_unknown_device

                     o  Special settings
                        -  report/buffered

       This  document does not describe these settings in more detail - if you
       need detailed information, including values which are accepted for  the
       settings, please run lvmconfig --type default --withcomments <setting>.
       There are more configuration settings in addition  to  the  common  set
       listed  above,  but  they  are  specific  to  either main report or log
       report, see main report specifics and log report  specifics  for  these
       settings.  Besides  configuring reports globally by using configuration
       settings, there are also command line options you can  use  to  extend,
       override or further specify the report configuration.
              Common command line options:

                     o  Special options
                        -  --configreport ReportName
                           This defines the ReportName for  which  any  subse-
                           quent  -o--columns,  -O--sort or -S--select applies
                           to. See also main report specifics and  log  report
                           specifics for possible ReportName values.
                        -  --logonly
                           When  an  LVM command contains both main report and
                           log report, this option suppresses the main  report
                           output  and  it  causes the log report output to be
                           displayed only.
                        -  --unbuffered
                           Overrides report/bufffered configuration setting.

       The FieldSet mentioned in the lists above is a set of field names where
       each  field  name  is delimited by "," character. Field set definition,
       sorting  and  selection  may  be  repeated  on  command  line  (-o+/-o-
       includes/excludes  fields  to/from  current  list,  for  all  the other
       repeatable options, the last value typed for the option on the  command
       line  is  used). The Selection is a string with selection criteria, see
       also Selection paragraph below for more information about  constructing
       these criteria.

Main report specifics
       The  main  report currently encompasses these distinct subtypes, refer-
       enced by their name - ReportName as listed below. The command in paren-
       thesis  is  representative command that uses the main report subtype by
       default.  Each subtype has its own  configuration  setting  for  global
       field  set  definition  as  well as sort field definition (listed below
       each individual ReportName):

              o  pv representing report about Physical Volumes (pvs)
                 -  report/pvs_cols
                 -  report/pvs_sort

              o  pvseg representing report about Physical Volume Segments (pvs
                 --segments)
                 -  report/pvseg_cols
                 -  report/pvseg_sort

              o  vg representing report about Volume Groups (vgs)
                 -  report/vgs_cols
                 -  report/vgs_sort

              o  lv representing report about Logical Volumes (lvs)
                 -  report/lvs_cols
                 -  report/lvs_sort

              o  seg  representing  report  about Logical Volume Segments (lvs
                 --segments)
                 -  report/segs_cols
                 -  report/segs_sort

              o  full representing report combining all  of  the  above  as  a
                 whole (lvm fullreport)
                 -  report/pvs_cols_full
                 -  report/pvs_sort_full
                 -  report/pvsegs_cols_full
                 -  report/pvseg_sort_full
                 -  report/vgs_cols_full
                 -  report/vgs_sort_full
                 -  report/lvs_cols_full
                 -  report/lvs_sort_full
                 -  report/segs_cols_full
                 -  report/segs_sort_full

              o  devtype representing report about device types (lvm devtypes)
                 -  report/devtypes_cols
                 -  report/devtypes_sort

       Use  pvs, vgs, lvs -o help or lvm devtypes -o help to get complete list
       of fields that you can use for main report. The list of fields  in  the
       help  output  is  separated  in  groups based on which report type they
       belong to.  Note that LVM can change final report type used  if  fields
       from different groups are combined together. Some of these combinations
       are not allowed in which case LVM will issue an error.
       For all main report subtypes except full, it's  not  necessary  to  use
       --configreport  ReportName to denote which report any subsequent -o, -O
       or -S option applies to as they always apply to the single main  report
       type.  Currently, lvm fullreport is the only command that includes more
       than one main report subtype. Therefore, the --configreport is particu-
       larly suitable for the full report if you need to configure each of its
       subreports in a different way.

Log report specifics
       You can enable log  report  with  log/report_command_log  configuration
       setting  -  this  functionality  is disabled by default. The log report
       contains a log collected during LVM command execution and then the  log
       is  displayed  just like any other report known from main report. There
       is only one log report subtype as shown  below  together  with  related
       configuration settings for fields, sorting and selection:

              o  log representing log report
                 -  log/command_log_cols
                 -  log/command_log_sort
                 -  log/command_log_selection

       You  always  need  to use --configreport log together with -o--options,
       -O--sort or -S--selection to override configuration  settings  directly
       on  command line for log report. When compared to main report, in addi-
       tion to usual configuration settings for report fields and sorting, the
       log  report  has  also configuration option for selection - report/com-
       mand_log_selection. This configuration setting is provided  for  conve-
       nience  so  it's  not  necessary to use -S--select on command line each
       time an LVM command is executed and we need the same selection criteria
       to  be  applied for log report. Default selection criteria used for log
       report are log/command_log_selection="!(log_type=status && message=suc-
       cess)".  This means that, by default, log report doesn't display status
       messages about successful operation and  it  displays  only  rows  with
       error,  warning,  print-type messages and messages about failure states
       (for more information, see log report content below).
       Log report coverage
       Currently, when running LVM commands directly (not in LVM  shell),  the
       log  report  covers command's processing stage which is the moment when
       LVM entities are iterated and processed one by one. It does  not  cover
       any  command initialization nor command finalization stage. If there is
       any message issued out of log report's  coverage  range,  such  message
       goes  directly to output, bypassing the log report. By default, that is
       standard error output for error and warning messages and standard  out-
       put for common print-like messages.
       When running LVM commands in LVM shell, the log report covers the whole
       LVM command's execution, including command's processing as well as ini-
       tialization and finalization stage. So from this point of view, the log
       report coverage is complete for executed LVM commands. Note that  there
       are  still  a  few  moments  when  LVM shell needs to initialize itself
       before it even enters the main loop in which it executes LVM  commands.
       Also,  there  is  a  moment  when LVM shell needs to prepare log report
       properly for next command executed in the shell  and  then,  after  the
       command's  run,  the  shell  needs  to  display the log report for that
       recently executed command. If there is a failure or any  other  message
       issued  during  this  time,  the LVM will bypass log report and display
       messages on output directly.
       For these reasons and for completeness, it's not possible to rely fully
       on  log  report  as  the only indicator of LVM command's status and the
       only place where all messages issued during LVM command  execution  are
       collected.  You always need to check whether the command has not failed
       out of log report's range by checking the non-report output too.
       To help with this, LVM can separate output which you can then  redirect
       to  any  custom  file descriptor that you prepare before running an LVM
       command or LVM shell and then you make LVM to use these  file  descrip-
       tors  for  different  kinds of output by defining environment variables
       with file descriptor  numbers.  See  also  LVM_OUT_FD,  LVM_ERR_FD  and
       LVM_REPORT_FD environment variable description in lvm(8) man page.
       Also  note  that,  by  default, reports use the same file descriptor as
       common print-like messages, which is standard output. If  you  plan  to
       use  log  report  in  your scripts or any external tool, you should use
       LVM_OUT_FD, LVM_ERR_FD and LVM_REPORT_FD to separate all  output  types
       to different file descriptors. For example, with bash, that would be:
              LVM_OUT_FD=3    LVM_ERR_FD=4   LVM_REPORT_FD=5   <lvm   command>
              3>out_file 4>err_file 5>report_file
       Where the <lvm_command> is either direct LVM command or LVM shell.  You
       can collect all three types of output in particular files then.
       Log report content
       Each  item  in the log report consists of these set of fields providing
       various information:

              o  Basic information (mandatory):
                 -  log_seq_num
                    Item sequence number. The sequence number  is  unique  for
                    each  log  item  and  it increases in the order of the log
                    items as they appeared during LVM command execution.

                 -  log_type
                    Type of log for the item. Currently, these types are used:
                           status for any status information that is logged
                           print for any common message printed while the  log
                           is collected
                           error  for  any error message printed while the log
                           is collected
                           warn for any warning message printed while the  log
                           is collected

                 -  log_context
                    Context  of  the log for the item. Currently, two contexts
                    are identified:
                           shell for the log collected in the  outermost  code
                           before and after executing concrete LVM commands
                           processing  for  the log collected while processing
                           LVM entities during LVM command execution

              o  Message (mandatory):
                 -  log_message
                    Any message associated with current item. For  status  log
                    type,  the  message  contains  either  success  or failure
                    denoting current state. For  print,  error  and  warn  log
                    types, the message contains the exact message of that type
                    that got issued.

              o  Object information (used only if applicable):
                 -  log_object_type field
                    Type of the  object  processed.  Currently,  these  object
                    types are recognized:
                           cmd for command as a whole
                           orphan  for  processing  group of PVs not in any VG
                           yet
                           pv for PV processing
                           label for direct PV label  processing  (without  VG
                           metadata)
                           vg for VG processing
                           lv for LV processing

                 -  log_object_name
                    Name of the object processed.

                 -  log_object_id
                    ID of the object processed.

                 -  log_object_group
                    A group where the processed object belongs to.

                 -  log_object_group_id
                    An ID of a group where the processed object belongs to.

              o  Numeric status (used only if applicable)
                 -  log_errno
                    Error number associated with current item.
                 -  log_ret_code
                    Rreturn code associated with current item.

       You can also run <lvm_command> --configreport log -o help to to display
       complete list of fields that you may use for the log report.

Selection
       Selection is used for a report to display only rows that  match  selec-
       tion  criteria.  All  rows  are  displayed with the additional selected
       field (-o selected) displaying 1 if the row matches the Selection and 0
       otherwise.  The  selection criteria are a set of statements combined by
       logical and grouping operators.  The statement consists of a field name
       for  which a set of valid values is defined using comparison operators.
       For complete list of fields names that you can use  in  selection,  see
       the output of <lvm_command> -S help. The help output also contains type
       of values that each field displays enclosed in brackets.
       List of operators recognized in selection criteria
              o  Comparison operators (cmp_op)
                        =~ matching regular expression.
                        !~ not matching regular expression.
                        =  equal to.
                        != not equal to.
                        >= greater than or equal to.
                        >  greater than
                        <= less than or equal to.
                        <  less than.

              o  Binary logical operators (cmp_log)
                        && all fields must match
                        ,  all fields must match
                        || at least one field must match
                        #  at least one field must match

              o  Unary logical operators
                        !  logical negation

              o  Grouping operators
                        (  left parenthesis
                        )  right parenthesis
                        [  list start
                        ]  list end
                        {  list subset start
                        }  list subset end

       Field types and selection operands
       Field type restricts the set of operators and values that you  may  use
       with the field when defining selection criteria. You can see field type
       for each field if you run <lvm command> -S help where you can find  the
       type  name enclosed in square brackets. Currently, LVM recognizes these
       field types in reports:

              o  string for set of characters (for each string field type, you
                 can  use  either string or regular expression - regex for the
                 value used in selection criteria)
              o  string list for set of strings
              o  number for integer value
              o  size for integer or floating point number with size unit suf-
                 fix  (see  also  lvcreate(8)  man  page  and  description for
                 "-L--size" option for the list of recognized suffixes)
              o  percent for floating point number with or without "%"  suffix
                 (e.g. 50 or 50%)
              o  time for time values
       When  using  string  list in selection criteria, there are several ways
       how LVM can match string list fields from  report,  depending  on  what
       list  grouping  operator is used and what item separator is used within
       that set of items. Also, note that order of items does not matter here.

              o  matching the set strictly where all items must match - use  [
                 ], e.g.  ["a","b","c"]
              o  matching  a  subset  of the set - use { } with "," or "&&" as
                 item delimiter, e.g. {"a","b","c"}
              o  matching an intersection with the set - use { } with  "#"  or
                 "||" as item delimiter, e.g. {"a" || "b" || "c"}
       When  using  time in your selection criteria, LVM can recognize various
       time formats using standard,  absolute  or  freeform  expressions.  For
       examples  demonstrating  time  expressions  in  selection criteria, see
       EXAMPLES section.

              o  Standard time format

                 -  date
                           YYYY-MM-DD
                           YYYY-MM, auto DD=1
                           YYYY, auto MM=01 and DD=01

                 -  time
                           hh:mm:ss
                           hh:mm, auto ss=0
                           hh, auto mm=0, auto ss=0

                 -  timezone
                           +hh:mm or -hh:mm
                           +hh or -hh
                 The full  date/time  specification  is  YYYY-MM-DD  hh:mm:ss.
                 Users  are  able to leave date/time parts from right to left.
                 Whenever these parts are left out, a range is  assumed  auto-
                 matically with second granularity. For example:

                           "2015-07-07   9:51"   means  range  of  "2015-07-07
                           9:51:00" - "2015-07-07 9:51:59".
                           "2015-07" means range  of  "2015-07-01  0:00:00"  -
                           "2015-07-31 23:59:59"
                           "2015"   means  range  of  "2015-01-01  0:00:00"  -
                           "2015-12-31 23:59:59"

              o  Absolute time format
                 Absolute time is defined as number of seconds since the Epoch
                 (1970:01:01 00:00 +00:00).

                 -  @seconds

              o  Freeform time format
                 -  weekday  names  ("Sunday"  -  "Saturday" or abbreviated as
                    "Sun" - "Sat")
                 -  labels for points in time ("noon", "midnight")
                 -  labels for a day relative to current day  ("today",  "yes-
                    terday")
                 -  points  back in time with relative offset from today (N is
                    a number)
                           "N" "seconds" / "minutes"  /  "hours"  /  "days"  /
                           "weeks" / "years" "ago"
                           "N" "secs" / "mins" / "hrs" ... "ago"
                           "N" "s" / "m" / "h" ... "ago"
                 -  time specification either in hh:mm:ss format or with AM/PM
                    suffixes
                 -  month names ("January"  -  "December"  or  abbreviated  as
                    "Jan" - "Dec")

       Informal grammar specification
                     STATEMENT = column cmp_op VALUE | STATEMENT log_op STATE-
                     MENT | (STATEMENT) | !(STATEMENT)
                     VALUE = [VALUE log_op VALUE]
                     For list-based types: string list. Matches strictly.  The
                     log_op  must  always be of one type within the whole list
                     value.
                     VALUE = {VALUE log_op VALUE}
                     For list-based types: string list. Matches a subset.  The
                     log_op  must  always be of one type within the whole list
                     value.
                     VALUE = value
                     For scalar  types:  number,  size,  percent,  string  (or
                     string regex).

EXAMPLES
   Basic usage
       We  start  our  examples  with  default configuration - lvmconfig(8) is
       helpful command to display configuration settings which  are  currently
       used,  including all configuration related to reporting. We will use it
       throughout examples below to display current configuration.
       # lvmconfig --type full global/units global/suffix \

       Also,  we  start  with  simple  LVM  layout  with  two  PVs  (/dev/sda,
       /dev/sdb),  VG (vg) and two LVs (lvol0 and lvol1) in the VG. We display
       all possible reports as single commands here, see also pvs(8),  vgs(8),
       lvs(8)  man  pages  for more information. The field set for each report
       type is configured with configuration settings as we already  mentioned
       in main report specifics section in this man page.

       We  will use report/lvs_cols and report/lvs_sort configuration settings
       to define our own list of fields to use and to sort by that is  differ-
       ent  from  defaults.  You  can do this for other reports in same manner
       with  report/{pvs,pvseg,vgs,seg}_{cols,sort}  configuration   settings.
       Also  note  that  in  the example below, we don't display the "lv_time"
       field even though we're using it for sorting - this is allowed.
       # lvmconfig --type full report/lvs_cols report/lvs_sort
       lvs_cols="lv_name,lv_size,origin,pool_lv,copy_percent"
       lvs_sort="-lv_time"
       # lvs
         LV    LSize Origin Pool Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 4.00m             100.00
         lvol0 4.00m
       You can use -o--options command line option to override current config-
       uration directly on command line.
       # lvs -o lv_name,lv_size
         LV    LSize
         lvol1 4.00m
         lvol0 4.00m
       # lvs -o+lv_layout
         LV    LSize Origin Pool Cpy%Sync Layout
         lvol1 4.00m             100.00   raid,raid1
         lvol0 4.00m                      linear
       # lvs -o-origin
         LV    LSize Pool Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 4.00m      100.00
         lvol0 4.00m
       # lvs -o lv_name,lv_size,origin -o+lv_layout -o-origin -O lv_name
         LV    LSize Layout
         lvol0 4.00m linear
         lvol1 4.00m raid,raid1
       You  can  obtain the same information with single command where all the
       information about PVs, PV segments, LVs and LV  segments  are  obtained
       per  VG  under  a  single VG lock for consistency, see also lvm-fullre-
       port(8) man page for more information. The fullreport has its own  con-
       figuration  settings to define field sets to use, similar to individual
       reports as displayed above, but  configuration  settings  have  "_full"
       suffix  now.   This  way,  it's possible to configure different sets of
       fields to display and to sort by for individual reports as well as  the
       full report.

   Automatic output compaction
       If  you  look at the lvs output above, you can see that the report also
       contains fields for which there is no information to display (e.g.  the
       columns  under "Origin" and "Pool" heading - the "origin" and "pool_lv"
       fields). LVM can automatically compact report output so such fields are
       not included in final output. To enable this feature and to compact all
       fields, use report/compact_output=1 in your configuration.
       # lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output
       compact_output=1
       # lvs
         LV    LSize Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 4.00m 100.00
         lvol0 4.00m
       # lvs vg/lvol0
         LV    LSize
         lvol0 4.00m
       Alternatively, you can define which fields should be compacted by  con-
       figuring    report/compact_output_cols    configuration   setting   (or
       -o--options # command line option).
       # lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
       compact_output=0
       compact_output_cols="origin"
       # lvs
         LV    LSize Pool Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 4.00m      100.00
         lvol0 4.00m
       # lvs vg/lvol0
         LV    LSize Pool
         lvol0 4.00m
       # lvs -o#pool_lv
         LV    LSize Origin Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 4.00m        100.00
         lvol0 4.00m
       We will use report/compact_output=1 for subsequent examples.

   Further formatting options
       By default, LVM displays sizes in reports in human-readable form  which
       means that the most suitable unit is used so it's easy to read. You can
       use report/units configuration setting (or --units option  directly  on
       command  line)  and  report/suffix configuration setting (or --nosuffix
       command line option) to change this.
       # lvs --units b --nosuffix
         LV    LSize   Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 4194304 100.00
         lvol0 4194304
       If you want to configure whether report headings are displayed or  not,
       use  report/headings  configuration  settings  (or --noheadings command
       line option).
       # lvs --noheadings
         lvol1 4.00m 100.00
         lvol0 4.00m
       In some cases, it may be useful to display report content as  key=value
       pairs  where  key  here is actually the field name. Use report/prefixes
       configuration setting (or --nameprefixes command line option) to switch
       between standard output and the key=value output. The key=value pair is
       the output that is suitable for use in scripts and for other  tools  to
       parse  easily.   Usually,  you also don't want to display headings with
       the output that has these key=value pairs.
       # lvs --noheadings --nameprefixes
         LVM2_LV_NAME='lvol1' LVM2_LV_SIZE='4.00m' LVM2_COPY_PERCENT='100.00'
         LVM2_LV_NAME='lvol0' LVM2_LV_SIZE='4.00m' LVM2_COPY_PERCENT=''
       To define whether quotation marks in key=value pairs should be used  or
       not,  use  report/quoted  configuration  setting (or --unquoted command
       line option).
       # lvs --noheadings --nameprefixes --unquoted
         LVM2_LV_NAME=lvol1 LVM2_LV_SIZE=4.00m LVM2_COPY_PERCENT=100.00
         LVM2_LV_NAME=lvol0 LVM2_LV_SIZE=4.00m LVM2_COPY_PERCENT=
       For easier parsing, you can even transpose the report  so  each  column
       now  becomes  a  row  in  the  output.  This  is  done with report/out-
       put_as_rows configuration setting (or --rows command line option).
       # lvs --noheadings --nameprefixes --unquoted --rows
         LVM2_LV_NAME=lvol1 LVM2_LV_NAME=lvol0
         LVM2_LV_SIZE=4.00m LVM2_LV_SIZE=4.00m
         LVM2_COPY_PERCENT=100.00 LVM2_COPY_PERCENT=
       Use report/separator configuration setting (or --separator command line
       option) to define your own field separator to use.
       # lvs --noheadings --nameprefixes --unquoted --separator " | "
         LVM2_LV_NAME=lvol1 | LVM2_LV_SIZE=4.00m | LVM2_COPY_PERCENT=100.00
         LVM2_LV_NAME=lvol0 | LVM2_LV_SIZE=4.00m | LVM2_COPY_PERCENT=
       If  you are using your own separator, the columns in the output are not
       aligned  by  default.  Use  report/aligned  configuration  setting  (or
       --aligned command line option) for LVM to add extra spaces in report to
       align the output properly.
       # lvs --separator " | "
         LV | LSize | Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 | 4.00m | 100.00
         lvol0 | 4.00m |
       # lvs --separator " | " --aligned
         LV    | LSize | Cpy%Sync
         lvol1 | 4.00m | 100.00
         lvol0 | 4.00m |
       Let's display one one more field in addition ("lv_tags" in  this  exam-
       ple) for the lvs report output.
       # lvs -o+lv_tags
         LV    LSize Cpy%Sync LV Tags
         lvol1 4.00m 100.00
         lvol0 4.00m          tagA,tagB
       The  "LV  Tags"  column  in the example above displays two list values,
       separated by "," character for LV lvol0. If  you  need  different  list
       item  separator,  use  report/list_item_separator configuration setting
       its definition.
       # lvmconfig --type full report/list_item_separator
       list_item_separator=";"
       # lvs -o+tags
         LV    LSize Cpy%Sync LV Tags
         lvol1 4.00m 100.00
         lvol0 4.00m          tagA;tagB
       But let's still use the original "," character for  list_item_separator
       for subsequent examples.
       Format  for  any  of time values displayed in reports can be configured
       with report/time_format configuretion setting. By default complete date
       and time is displayed, including timezone.
       # lvmconfig --type full report/time_format
       time_format="%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
       # lvs -o+time
         LV    LSize Cpy%Sync CTime
         lvol1 4.00m 100.00   2016-08-29 12:53:36 +0200
         lvol0 4.00m          2016-08-29 10:15:17 +0200
       We  can  change  time format in similar way as we do when using date(1)
       command or strftime(3) function (lvmconfig  --type  default  --withcom-
       ments  report/time_format will give you complete list of available for-
       matting options). In the example below, we decided to use %s for number
       of seconds since Epoch (1970-01-01 UTC).
       # lvmconfig --type full report/time_format
       time_format="%s"
       # lvs
         LV    Attr       LSize Cpy%Sync LV Tags   CTime
         lvol1 rwi-a-r--- 4.00m 100.00             1472468016
         lvol0 -wi-a----- 4.00m          tagA,tagB 1472458517
       The  lvs  does not display hidden LVs by default - to include these LVs
       in the output, you need to use -a--all command line option.  Names  for
       these hidden LVs are displayed within square brackets.
       # lvs -a
         LV               LSize Cpy%Sync
         lvol1            4.00m 100.00
         [lvol1_rimage_0] 4.00m
         [lvol1_rmeta_0]  4.00m
         [lvol1_rimage_1] 4.00m
         [lvol1_rmeta_1]  4.00m
         lvol0            4.00m
       You  can configure LVM to display the square brackets for hidden LVs or
       not with report/mark_hidden_devices configuration setting.
       # lvmconfig --type full report/mark_hidden_devices
       mark_hidden_devices=0
       # lvs -a
         LV             LSize Cpy%Sync
         lvol1          4.00m 100.00
         lvol1_rimage_0 4.00m
         lvol1_rmeta_0  4.00m
         lvol1_rimage_1 4.00m
         lvol1_rmeta_1  4.00m
         lvol0          4.00m
       It's not recommended to use LV  marks  for  hidden  devices  to  decide
       whether  the  LV  is  the  one  to use by end users or not. Please, use
       "lv_role" field instead which can report whether the LV is "public"  or
       "private".  The private LVs are used by LVM only and they should not be
       accessed directly by end users.
       # lvs -a -o+lv_role
         LV             LSize Cpy%Sync Role
         lvol1          4.00m 100.00   public
         lvol1_rimage_0 4.00m          private,raid,image
         lvol1_rmeta_0  4.00m          private,raid,metadata
         lvol1_rimage_1 4.00m          private,raid,image
         lvol1_rmeta_1  4.00m          private,raid,metadata
         lvol0          4.00m          public
       Some of the reporting fields that LVM reports are of binary nature. For
       such  fields,  it's  either  possible to display word representation of
       the value (this is used by default) or numeric value (0/1 or -1 in case
       the value is undefined).
       # lvs -o+lv_active_locally
         LV    LSize Cpy%Sync ActLocal
         lvol1 4.00m 100.00   active locally
         lvol0 4.00m          active locally
       We  can  change  the  way  how  these  binary values are displayed with
       report/binary_values_as_numeric configuration setting.
       # lvmconfig --type full report/binary_values_as_numeric
       binary_values_as_numeric=1
       # lvs -o+lv_active_locally
         LV    LSize Cpy%Sync ActLocal
         lvol1 4.00m 100.00            1
         lvol0 4.00m                   1

   Changing output format
       LVM can output reports in different formats - use  report/output_format
       configuration  setting (or --reportformat command line option) to swith
       the report output format. Currently,  LVM  supports  "basic"  (all  the
       examples we used above used this format) and "JSON" output format.
       # lvs -o lv_name,lv_size --reportformat json
         {
             "report": [
                 {
                     "lv": [
                         {"lv_name":"lvol1", "lv_size":"4.00m"},
                         {"lv_name":"lvol0", "lv_size":"4.00m"}
                     ]
                 }
             ]
         }
       Note  that some configuration settings and command line options have no
       effect with certain report formats. For example, with JSON  output,  it
       doesn't   have   any   meaning   to   use  report/aligned  (--aligned),
       report/noheadings (--noheadings),  report/columns_as_rows  (--rows)  or
       report/buffered  (--unbuffered).  All  these configuration settings and
       command line options are ignored if using the JSON report  output  for-
       mat.

   Selection
       If you need to select only specific rows from report, you can use LVM's
       report selection feature. If you call <lvm_command> -S help, you'll get
       quick  help on selection. The help contains list of all fields that LVM
       can use in reports together with its type enclosed in square  brackets.
       The example below contains a line from lvs -S help.
       # lvs -S help
           ...
           lv_size                - Size of LV in current units. [size]
           ...
       This  line tells you you that the "lv_size" field is of "size" type. If
       you look at the bottom of the help output, you can  see  section  about
       "Selection operators" and its "Comparison operators".
       # lvs -S help
        ...
       Selection operators
       -------------------
       Comparison operators:
          =~  - Matching regular expression. [regex]
          !~  - Not matching regular expression. [regex]
           =  - Equal to. [number, size, percent, string, string list, time]
          !=  - Not equal to. [number, size, percent, string, string_list, time]
          >=  - Greater than or equal to. [number, size, percent, time]
           >  - Greater than. [number, size, percent, time]
          <=  - Less than or equal to. [number, size, percent, time]
           <  - Less than. [number, size, percent, time]
       since  - Since specified time (same as '>='). [time]
       after  - After specified time (same as '>'). [time]
       until  - Until specified time (same as '<='). [time]
       before  - Before specified time (same as '<'). [time]
        ...
       Here  you  can  match  comparison  operators  that you may use with the
       "lv_size" field which is of type "size" - it's =, !=, >=, >, <= and  <.
       You can find applicable comparison operators for other fields and other
       field types the same way.
       To demostrate selection functionality in LVM, we will create  more  LVs
       in addition to lvol0 and lvol1 we used in our previous examples.
       # lvs -o name,size,origin,snap_percent,tags,time
         LV    LSize Origin Snap%  LV Tags        CTime
         lvol4 4.00m lvol2  24.61                 2016-09-09 16:57:44 +0200
         lvol3 4.00m lvol2  5.08                  2016-09-09 16:56:48 +0200
         lvol2 8.00m               tagA,tagC,tagD 2016-09-09 16:55:12 +0200
         lvol1 4.00m                              2016-08-29 12:53:36 +0200
         lvol0 4.00m               tagA,tagB      2016-08-29 10:15:17 +0200
       When  selecting  size  and  percent fields, we don't need to use units.
       For sizes, default "m" (for MiB) is used - this is the  same  behaviour
       as  already  used for LVM commands when specifying sizes (e.g. lvcreate
       -L).  For percent fields, "%" is  assumed  automatically  if  it's  not
       specified.   The  example  below also demonstrates how several criteria
       can be combined together.
       # lvs -o name,size,snap_percent -S 'size=8m'
         LV    LSize
         lvol2 8.00m
       # lvs -o name,size,snap_percent -S 'size=8'
         LV    LSize
         lvol2 8.00m
       # lvs -o name,size,snap_percent -S 'size < 5000k'
         LV    LSize Snap%
         lvol4 4.00m 24.61
         lvol3 4.00m 5.08
         lvol1 4.00m
         lvol0 4.00m
       # lvs -o name,size,snap_percent -S 'size < 5000k && snap_percent > 20'
         LV    LSize Snap%
         lvol4 4.00m 24.61
       # lvs -o name,size,snap_percent \
           -S '(size < 5000k && snap_percent > 20%) || name=lvol2'
         LV    LSize Snap%
         lvol4 4.00m 24.61
         lvol2 8.00m
       You can also use selection together with processing-oriented commands.
       # lvchange --addtag test -S 'size < 5000k'
         Logical volume vg/lvol1 changed.
         Logical volume vg/lvol0 changed.
         Logical volume vg/lvol3 changed.
         Logical volume vg/lvol4 changed.
       # lvchange --deltag test -S 'tags = test'
         Logical volume vg/lvol1 changed.
         Logical volume vg/lvol0 changed.
         Logical volume vg/lvol3 changed.
         Logical volume vg/lvol4 changed.
       LVM can recognize more complex values used in  selection  criteria  for
       string list and time field types. For string lists, you can match whole
       list strictly, its subset or intersection. Let's take  "lv_tags"  field
       as  an  example  - we select only rows which contain "tagA" within tags
       field. We're using { } to denote that we're interested in  subset  that
       matches. If the subset has only one item, we can leave out { }.
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags={tagA}'
         LV    LV Tags
         lvol2 tagA,tagC,tagD
         lvol0 tagA,tagB
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=tagA'
         LV    LV Tags
         lvol2 tagA,tagC,tagD
         lvol0 tagA,tagB
       Depending  on  whether we use "&&" (or ",") or "||" ( or "#") as delim-
       iter for items in the set we define in selection criterion  for  string
       list,  we  either match subset ("&&" or ",") or even intersection ("||"
       or "#").
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags={tagA,tagC,tagD}'
         LV    LV Tags
         lvol2 tagA,tagC,tagD
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags={tagA || tagC || tagD}'
         LV    LV Tags
         lvol2 tagA,tagC,tagD
         lvol0 tagA,tagB
       To match the complete set, use [ ] with "&&" (or ",") as delimiter  for
       items.  Also note that the order in which we define items in the set is
       not relevant.
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[tagA]'
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[tagB,tagA]'
         LV    LV Tags
         lvol0 tagA,tagB
       If you use [ ] with "||" (or "#"), this is exactly the same as using  {
       }.
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=[tagA || tagC || tagD]'
         LV    LV Tags
         lvol2 tagA,tagC,tagD
         lvol0 tagA,tagB
       To  match a set with no items, use "" to denote this (note that we have
       output compaction enabled so the "LV Tags" column is not  displayed  in
       the example below because it's blank and so it gets compacted).
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags=""'
         LV
         lvol4
         lvol3
         lvol1
       # lvs -o name,tags -S 'tags!=""'
         LV    LV Tags
         lvol2 tagA,tagC,tagD
         lvol0 tagA,tagB
       When  doing selection based on time fields, we can use either standard,
       absolute or freeform time expressions in selection  criteria.  Examples
       below are using standard forms.
       # lvs -o name,time
         LV    CTime
         lvol4 2016-09-09 16:57:44 +0200

   Command log reporting
       As described in categorization based on reporting facility  section  at
       the  beginning  of  this document, both report-oriented and processing-
       oriented LVM commands can report the command log  if  this  is  enabled
       with log/report_command_log configuration setting.  Just like any other
       report, we can set the set of fields to display  (log/command_log_cols)
       and to sort by (log/command_log_sort) for this report.
       # lvmconfig --type full log/report_command_log log/command_log_cols \
          log/command_log_sort log/command_log_selection
       report_command_log=1
       command_log_cols="log_seq_num,log_type,log_context,log_object_type,
                         log_object_name,log_object_group,log_message,
                         log_errno,log_ret_code"
       command_log_sort="log_seq_num"
       command_log_selection="!(log_type=status && message=success)"

       As  you  can  see,  the  command  log  is empty (it contains only field
       names).  By default, LVM uses selection on the command log  report  and
       this  case  no  row matched the selection criteria, see also log report
       specifics section in this document for more information. We're display-
       ing complete log report in the example below where we can see that both
       LVs lvol0 and lvol1 were successfully processed as well as  the  VG  vg
       they are part of.

   Handling multiple reports per single command
       To  configure  the  log report directly on command line, we need to use
       --configreport option before we  start  any  -o--options,  -O--sort  or
       -S--select that is targeted for log report.
       # lvs -o lv_name,lv_size --configreport log -o log_object_type, \
          log_object_name,log_message,log_ret_code
         Logical Volume
         ==============
         LV    LSize
         lvol1 4.00m
         lvol0 4.00m
         Command Log
         ===========
         ObjType ObjName Msg     RetCode
         lv      lvol0   success       1
         lv      lvol1   success       1
         vg      vg      success       1
       The  lvm  fullreport,  with  or without log report, consists of several
       reports - the --configreport is also used to target  particular  subre-
       port here.
       Below is an extended example with lvm fullreport to illustrate combina-
       tion of various options. The report output is in JSON format.  Also, we
       configure  "vg",  "pvseg",  "seg"  and  "log" subreport to contain only
       specified fields. For the "pvseg" subreport, we're intested only in  PV
       names  having  "sda"  in  their  name.  For  the  "log" subreport we're
       intested only in log lines related to either "lvol0" object  or  object
       having  "sda" in its name. Also, for the log subreport we define order-
       ing to be based on "log_object_type" field.
       # lvm fullreport --reportformat json \
          --configreport vg -o vg_name,vg_size \
          --configreport pvseg -o pv_name,pvseg_start \

   Report extensions for LVM shell
       As already stated in log report coverage  paragraph  under  log  report
       specifics  in  this  documentation, when using LVM shell the log report
       coverage is wider. There's also special command designed to query  last
       command's log report in the LVM shell - the lastlog command.
       The  example below illustrates a situation where we called lvs command.
       After that, we inspected the log report with the lastlog,  without  any
       selection  so all the log report is displayed on output. Then we called
       lastlog further, giving various selection criteria. Then we ran unknown
       LVM command "abc" for which the log report displays appropriate failure
       state.
