NAME
       lvrename - rename a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
       lvrename  [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|--help] [--noudevsync] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--ver-
       sion]

       OldLogicalVolumePath NewLogicalVolume{Path|Name}

       VolumeGroupName OldLogicalVolumeName NewLogicalVolumeName

DESCRIPTION
       lvrename renames an existing logical volume from OldLogicalVolume{Name|Path} to NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path}.

OPTIONS
       See lvm 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 /dev/vg02/lvnew

       An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is

            lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
