OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

       --noudevsync
	      Disable  udev  synchronisation.  The  process  will not wait for
	      notification from udev.  It will continue	 irrespective  of  any
	      possible udev processing in the background.  You should only use
	      this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices
	      LVM2 creates.

EXAMPLE
       To rename lvold in volume group vg02 to lvnew:

	    lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold /dev/vg02/lvnew

       An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is

	    lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
