The command "lvs -v" is used to list information about logical volumes in a verbose format.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

• "lvs" stands for Logical Volume Scan, which is a command-line tool in Linux used to display information about logical volumes and volume groups on the system.
• The "-v" option stands for "verbose," which outputs more detailed information about the logical volumes.

When you run the "lvs -v" command, it will display information about each logical volume present on your system in a more detailed manner. This includes details like the name of the logical volume, its size, the volume group it belongs to, the physical volume on which it is stored, the metadata sequence number, and other relevant information.

Using the verbose option ("-v") provides additional information compared to running just the "lvs" command, which can be helpful for troubleshooting, system administration tasks, or gathering more detailed information about logical volumes.
