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

- lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold /dev/vg02/lvnew
- An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is
