NAME

geom_linux_lvm – GEOM based Linux LVM logical volume mapping

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file: options GEOM_LINUX_LVM

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): 

geom_linux_lvm_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

The geom_linux_lvm framework provides support for mapping Linux LVM volumes to GEOM providers. geom_linux_lvm currently supports linear stripes with segments on one or more physical disks. The parser is able to read LVM2 Text Format metadata, the logical volumes will be assembled and made available under /dev/linux_lvm/. The metadata is read-only, logical volumes cannot be allocated or resized.

EXAMPLES

# geom linux_lvm list

“ Our grievance is not just against Unix itself, but against the cult of Unix zealots who defend and nurture it. They take the heat, disease, and pestilence as givens, and, as ancient shamans did, display their wounds, some self-inflicted, as proof of their power and wizardry. We aim, through bluntness and humor, to show them that they pray to a tin god, and that science, not religion, is the path to useful and friendly technology. ”
