You have a striped logical volume called /dev/vgdata/lvlogs that seems to be unevenly distributed across its physical volumes. You want to view a detailed "Segments" section that lists every range of logical extents and shows which underlying physical volume stores each range. Which lvdisplay command provides that information in a single step?
The -m (or --maps) switch tells lvdisplay to include a Segments section that maps each set of logical extents to the physical volume and physical‐extent range that stores them. This is the only lvdisplay option that produces that detailed mapping.
-C/--columns shows the same basic LV fields in column form but omits segment-to-PV mapping.
-c/--colon outputs a terse colon-separated summary for scripting; it does not list segment mappings.
--all merely adds normally hidden internal LVs (such as mirror images) to the output; it does not change the level of detail for mappings.
Therefore, lvdisplay -m is the correct choice.
