LVM2-2.03.23

LVM2 の概要

LVM2 パッケージは論理パーティションを管理します。 複数の物理ディスク間やディスクパーティション間にわたってのファイルシステム構築を実現し、論理パーティションの動的な拡大縮小の機能なども提供します。

注記

There are several other Device Mapper options in the kernel beyond those listed below. In order to get reasonable results if running the regression tests, all must be enabled either internally or as a module. The tests will all time out if Magic SysRq key is not enabled.

LVM2 のインストール

以下のコマンドを実行して LVM2 をビルドします。

PATH+=:/usr/sbin                \
./configure --prefix=/usr       \
            --enable-cmdlib     \
            --enable-pkgconfig  \
            --enable-udev_sync  &&
make

The tests use udev for logical volume synchronization, so the LVM udev rules and some utilities need to be installed before running the tests. If you are installing LVM2 for the first time, and do not want to install the full package before running the tests, the minimal set of utilities can be installed by running the following instructions as the root user:

make -C tools install_tools_dynamic &&
make -C udev  install               &&
make -C libdm install

To test the results, issue, as the root user:

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 make check_local

Some tests may hang. In this case they can be skipped by adding S=<testname> to the make command. Other targets are available and can be listed with make -C test help. The test timings are very dependent on the speed of the disk(s), and on the number of enabled kernel options.

The tests do not implement the expected fail possibility, and a small number of test failures is expected by upstream. More failures may happen because some kernel options are missing. For example, the lack of the dm-delay device mapper target explains some failures. Some tests may fail if there is insufficient free space available in the partition with the /tmp directory. At least one test fails if 16 TB is not available. Some tests are flagged warned if thin-provisioning-tools are not installed. A workaround is to add the following flags to configure:

     --with-thin-check=    \
     --with-thin-dump=     \
     --with-thin-repair=   \
     --with-thin-restore=  \
     --with-cache-check=   \
     --with-cache-dump=    \
     --with-cache-repair=  \
     --with-cache-restore= \

Some tests may hang. They can be removed if necessary, for example: rm test/shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh. The tests generate a lot of kernel messages, which may clutter your terminal. You can disable them by issuing dmesg -D before running the tests (do not forget to issue dmesg -E when tests are done).

注記

The checks create device nodes in the /tmp directory. The tests will fail if /tmp is mounted with the nodev option.

root ユーザーになって以下を実行します。

make install
make install_systemd_units

コマンド説明

PATH+=:/usr/sbin: The path must contain /usr/sbin for proper system tool detection by the configure script. This instruction ensures that PATH is properly set even if you build as an unprivileged user.

--enable-cmdlib: このスイッチは共有コマンドライブラリをビルドすることを指示します。 デーモンをビルドする際にはこれが必要になります。

--enable-pkgconfig: このスイッチの指定により pkgconfig サポートファイルをインストールします。

--enable-udev_sync: このスイッチは Udev との同期処理を有効にします。

--enable-dmeventd: このスイッチは Device Mapper イベントデーモンをビルドすることを指示します。

make install_systemd_units: This is needed to install a unit that activates logical volumes at boot. It is not installed by default.

Configuring LVM2

Config File

/etc/lvm/lvm.conf

Configuration Information

The default configuration still references the obsolete /var/lock directory. This creates a deadlock at boot time. Change this (as the root user):

sed -e '/locking_dir =/{s/#//;s/var/run/}' \
    -i /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
