The content of the tarball is as follows:
|
|

|
|
- dmsetup info
|
|
.br
|
|
- table of currently running processes
|
|
.br
|
|

.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
Advanced collection.
|
|
\fBWARNING\fR: if lvm is already hung, then this script may hang as well
|
|
if \fB\-a\fR is used.
|

.TP
|

.B \-c
|
|
If clvmd is running, gather cluster data as well.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d \fIdirectory
|
|
Dump into a directory instead of tarball
|
|
By default, lvmdump will produce a single compressed tarball containing
|
|
all the information. Using this option, it can be instructed to only
|
|
produce the raw dump tree, rooted in \fIdirectory\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h
|
|
Print help message
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-m
|
|
Gather LVM metadata from the PVs
|
|
This option generates a 1:1 dump of the metadata area from all PVs visible
|
|
to the system, which can cause the dump to increase in size considerably.
|
|
However, the metadata dump may represent a valuable diagnostic resource.
|
|
