Installation guide

# Currently this is not implemented properly and behaves

# similarly to:

# "allocate_anywhere" - Operates like "allocate", but it does not

# require that the new space being allocated be on a

# device is not part of the mirror. For a log device

# failure, this could mean that the log is allocated on

# the same device as a mirror device. For a mirror

# device, this could mean that the mirror device is

# allocated on the same device as another mirror device.

# This policy would not be wise for mirror devices

# because it would break the redundant nature of the

# mirror. This policy acts like "remove" if no suitable

# device and space can be allocated for the replacement.

mirror_log_fault_policy = "allocate"

mirror_device_fault_policy = "remove"

# Metadata settings

# metadata {

# Default number of copies of metadata to hold on each PV. 0, 1 or 2.

# You might want to override it from the command line with 0

# when running pvcreate on new PVs which are to be added to large VGs.

# pvmetadatacopies = 1

# Approximate default size of on-disk metadata areas in sectors.

# You should increase this if you have large volume groups or

# you want to retain a large on-disk history of your metadata changes.

# pvmetadatasize = 255

# List of directories holding live copies of text format metadata.

# These directories must not be on logical volumes!

# It's possible to use LVM2 with a couple of directories here,

# preferably on different (non-LV) file systems, and with no other

# on-disk metadata (pvmetadatacopies = 0). Or this can be in

# addition to on-disk metadata areas.

# The feature was originally added to simplify testing and is not

# supported under low memory situations - the machine could lock up.

# Never edit any files in these directories by hand unless you

# you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing! Use

# the supplied tool set to make changes (e.g., vgcfgrestore).

# dirs = [ "/etc/lvm/metadata", "/mnt/disk2/lvm/metadata2" ]
