The command "sudo lvm lvdisplay" is used to display detailed information about the logical volumes (LVs) in a Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) setup.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "sudo": It runs the following command with administrative privileges. This is necessary if you don't have root access and want to execute the command.
• "lvm": It refers to the Logical Volume Manager command-line tool.
• "lvdisplay": It specifies the subcommand to display information about logical volumes.

When you run this command, it will provide output with details about each logical volume, such as its name, UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), size, the volume group it belongs to, along with other information like the number of physical extents (PE), and its status (e.g., whether it is open, closed, or suspended).

This command is useful for getting an overview of the logical volumes in an LVM setup, including their current status and properties.
