# What level of log messages should we send to the log file and/or

syslog?

# There are 6 syslog-like log levels currently in use - 2 to 7

inclusive.

# 7 is the most verbose (LOG_DEBUG).

level = 0

# Format of output messages

# Whether or not (1 or 0) to indent messages according to their

severity

indent = 1

# Whether or not (1 or 0) to display the command name on each line

output

command_names = 0

# A prefix to use before the message text (but after the command name,

# if selected). Default is two spaces, so you can see/grep the

severity

# of each message.

prefix = " "

# To make the messages look similar to the original LVM tools use:

# indent = 0

# command_names = 1

# prefix = " -- "

# Set this if you want log messages during activation.

# Don't use this in low memory situations (can deadlock).

# activation = 0

# Configuration of metadata backups and archiving. In LVM2 when we

# talk about a 'backup' we mean making a copy of the metadata for the

# *current* system. The 'archive' contains old metadata configurations.

# Backups are stored in a human readable text format.
