The advantage to the name seems that I would quicky know what is what.
But I am not sure if there is a reason I do not know of that one would be better than the other.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks-

SolutionIn any case there is really no right or wrong approach and the ONLY way to know if an LVOL is truly unused is to document, document, document --- and force your fellow admins to do the same.

Re: naming logical volumes
I use the default names -- 'lvol1', 'lvol2', etc. Documentation and the mapping provided by 'etc/fstab' provide the contextual knowledge necessary.
One advantage to doing this is if you ever forget to create a mapfile during a 'vgexport' or have lost one prior to a 'vgimport' the default names are used during the import phase. See the manpages for 'vgimport' and 'vgexport'.
Regards!
