Note that we'll continue to use WHATS_NEW_DM for device-mapper changes
until we can switch to unified version numbering.

LVM2 installation
=================
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.
1) 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
Use ./configure --help to see other options.
3) Build and install LVM2.
2) Build and install.
Run 'make install' from the top directory.
Run 'make' from the top directory to build everything you configured.
Run 'make install' to build and install everything you configured.
If you only want the device-mapper libraries and tools use
'make device-mapper' or 'make install_device-mapper'.
4) Create a configuration file
3) If using LVM2, 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.
