Source: lvm2 Section: admin Priority: optional Maintainer: Andres Salomon Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), libdevmapper-dev (>= 0.96.04), libreadline4-dev Standards-Version: 3.5.8.0 Package: lvm2 Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Conflicts: lvm10, lvm-common Replaces: lvm10, lvm-common Provides: lvm-binaries Suggests: dmsetup, kernel-patch-device-mapper Description: The Linux Logical Volume Manager This is LVM2, the rewrite of The Linux Logical Volume Manager. LVM supports enterprise level volume management of disk and disk subsystems by grouping arbitrary disks into volume groups. The total capacity of volume groups can be allocated to logical volumes, which are accessed as regular block devices. . LVM2 is currently stable, but has some unimplemented features (most notably, pvmove and e2fsadm). It is not yet recommended for production use. It is backwards-compatible with LVM1 (lvm10), and requires Linux kernel 2.4.
