SYNOPSIS
lvmsar
DESCRIPTION
lvmsar was the LVM system activity reporter for displaying I/O statistics on logical volumes. It processed data collected by lvmsadc and presented performance metrics for analysis.
This command is not supported under LVM2. Modern systems should use dmstats instead, which provides comprehensive device-mapper statistics including read/write operations, throughput, and latency histograms.
CAVEATS
Deprecated: This command only works on legacy LVM1 systems. For LVM2, use dmstats report to view I/O statistics on device-mapper devices.
