  13 .SH DESCRIPTION
  14 .B lvscan
  15 scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices
  16 in the system for defined Logical Volumes.  The output consists
  17 of one line for each Logical Volume indicating whether or not it is active,
  18 a snapshot or origin, the size of the device and its allocation policy.
  19 Use \fBlvs(8)\fP or \fBlvdisplay(8)\fP to obtain more-comprehensive information
  20 about the Logical Volumes.
  21 .SH OPTIONS
  22 See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
  23 .TP
  24 .BR \-\-all
  25 Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that
  26 are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as mirrors,
  27 but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable).
  28 For example, after creating a mirror using 'lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk',
  29 this option will reveal three internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes
  30 mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.
  31 .TP
  32 .BR \-b ", " \-\-blockdevice
  33 This option is now ignored.  Instead, use \fBlvs(8)\fP or \fBlvdisplay(8)\fP to obtain
  34 the device number.
