.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBlvpoll\fP is an internal command used by \fBlvmpolld\fP(8) to monitor and
complete \fBlvconvert\fP(8) and \fBpvmove\fP(8) operations.
\fBlvpoll\fP itself does not initiate these operations and
you should never normally need to invoke it directly.

.I LogicalVolume
The Logical Volume undergoing conversion or, in the case of pvmove, the name of
the internal pvmove Logical Volume (see \fBEXAMPLES\fP).
.SH OPTIONS
See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options.
.TP
.BR \-\-polloperation " {" \fIconvert | \fImerge | \fImerge_thin | \fIpvmove }
Mandatory option.
\fIpvmove\fP refers to a pvmove operation that is moving data.
\fIconvert\fP refers to an operation that is increasing the number of redundant copies of data maintained by a mirror.
\fImerge\fP indicates a merge operation that doesn't involve thin volumes.
\fImerge_thin\fP indicates a merge operation involving thin snapshots.
\fBpvmove\fP(8) and \fBlvconvert\fP(8) describe how to initiate these operations.
.TP
.B \-\-abort
Abort pvmove in progress.  See \fBpvmove\fP(8).
.TP
.B \-\-handlemissingpvs
Used when the polling operation needs to handle missing PVs to be able to
continue. This can happen when \fBlvconvert\fP(8) is repairing a mirror
with one or more faulty devices.
.TP
.BR \-i ", " \-\-interval " "\fISeconds
Report progress at regular intervals

.SH EXAMPLES
Resume polling of a pvmove operation identified by the Logical Volume vg00/pvmove0:
.sp
.B lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove vg00/pvmove0
.P
Abort the same pvmove operation:
.sp
.B lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove --abort vg00/pvmove0
.P
To find out the name of the pvmove Logical Volume resulting from an original
\fBpvmove /dev/sda1\fP command you may use the following \fBlvs\fP command.
(Remove the parentheses from the LV name.)
.sp
.B lvs -a -S move_pv=/dev/sda1
.P
Resume polling of mirror conversion vg00/lvmirror:
.sp
.B lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg00/lvmirror
.P
Complete mirror repair:
.sp
.B lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg/damaged_mirror --handlemissingpvs
.P
Process snapshot merge:
.sp
.B lvm lvpoll --polloperation merge vg/snapshot_old
.P
Finish thin snapshot merge:
.sp
.B lvm lvpoll --polloperation merge_thin vg/thin_snapshot
