+lvscan scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices
+in the system for defined Logical Volumes.  The output consists
+of one line for each Logical Volume indicating whether or not it is active,
+a snapshot or origin, the size of the device and its allocation policy.
+Use \fBlvs\fP(8) or \fBlvdisplay\fP(8) to obtain more-comprehensive
+information about the Logical Volumes.

 Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that
 are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as mirrors,
 but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable).
