after long trial and error and reading manpages, i got it (see below):

what i'm yet missing is how "translation" of the headings/fields in
normal output can be avoided , i.e print the technical/internal field
name instead of a "human readable" or "translated" one.

'seg_start_pe' and 'pvseg_start' for example both translate to "Start",
and that does not only make it hard to read (and makes no real sense to
have duplicate field names) ,  but it's also difficult to build an
appropriate output field command option from the default output.  i
remember i had such issue with other tools...

think this is a missing feature ?

Hi Roland,

if i have a logical sector/block "x" on a lvm logical volume ,  is

a way to easily calculate/determine (optimally by script/cli) the
corresponding physical sector of the physical device it belongs to and
the extent number of the appropiate pv/vg where it resides ?
lvdisplay --maps /path/to/lv

tells you all the mappings of logical extents within the LV to
physical extents within the PV.

pvdisplay --units s /dev/yourpv | grep 'PE Size'

tells you the size of a physical extent in sectors.

Between those you can work out the sector number on the physical
device for a sector number on a logical volume.

Cheers,
Andy
