# metadata {
# Default number of copies of metadata to hold on each PV.
# 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) filesystems, 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 toolset to make changes (e.g. vgcfgrestore).
similarly to:
require that the new space being allocated be on a
device is not part of the mirror.
failure, this could mean that the log is allocated on
the same device as a mirror device.
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.
Sample lvm.conf File
For a log device
For a mirror
