LVM2 2.02.16 review (linux)
|
|
LVM2 2.02.16 is utilities software developed by LVM2 Team.
LVM2 is a new userspace toolset that provide logical volume management facilities on linux.
It is reasonably backwards-compatible with the original LVM toolset.
To use LVM2 you need 3 things: device-mapper in your kernel, the userspace device-mapper support library (libdevmapper) and the userspace LVM2 tools.
LVM2 installation:
1) Install device-mapper
Ensure the device-mapper has been installed on the machine.
The device-mapper should be in the kernel (look for 'device-mapper' messages in the kernel logs) and /usr/include/libdevmapper.h and libdevmapper.so should be present.
The device-mapper is available from:
ftp://ftp.sistina.com/pub/LVM2/device-mapper/
2) Generate custom makefiles.
Run the 'configure' script from the top directory.
If you wish to use the built-in LVM2 shell and have GNU readline installed (http://www.gnu.org/directory/readline.html) use: ./configure --enable-readline
If you don't want to include the LVM1 backwards-compatibility code use: ./configure --with-lvm1=none
To separate the LVM1 support into a shared library loaded by lvm.conf use: ./configure --with-lvm1=shared
3) Build and install LVM2.
Run 'make install' from the top directory.
4) Create a configuration file
The tools will work fine without a configuration file being present, but you ought to review the example file in doc/example.conf.
For example, specifying the devices that LVM2 is to use can make the tools run more efficiently - and avoid scanning /dev/cdrom!
Please also refer to the WHATS_NEW file and the manual pages for the
individual commands.
LVM2 2.02.16 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.
Downloading LVM2 2.02.16 will take if you use fast ADSL connection.
