have you tried using 'lvs --all -o+devices'?
If you look at the "devices" column, you will see a number following
the device that indicates the start segment. There are many
additional arguments to pvs, vgs, and lvs that can be displayed to show
you the allocation layout. (I'm assuming you are talking about LVM2.)
Conversely, if you are using LVM2, you could also look at
/etc/lvm/backup/<vgname> to read the specifics of how lv's are mapped
on the pv's.

HI,
I have a query about the physical layout of the LVM. Using some
hexeditor i tried to find out the VGDA structure. But i am not getting
any specific structure at starting of PV.
As The Volume Group Descriptor Area (VGDA) functions similar to the
partition table for LVM. It is stored at the beginning at the
beginning of each physical volume.
Earlier i worked on HP-UX LVM and i read that i impementation of LVM
is similar in both.
I want to get the information of the PE map and if i extend some LV
and create 2-3 segments then how i will be able to know the PE chain.
I got some structure on HDD that contain some ASCII values as the
output of #lvdisplay ot vgdisplay
Please give some guidance to find the internal layout of LVM on HDD.
Thanks in Advance
