geom_linux_lvm — GEOM based Linux LVM logical volume mapping
Contents
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.
