Normally, the lvm dumpconfig processes only the configuration tree
that is at the top of the cascade. Considering the cascade is:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE -> CONFIG_MERGED_FILES/CONFIG_FILE
...then:
(dumpconfig of lvm.conf only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig allocation
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=64
}
(dumpconfig of selected profile configuration only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation
allocation {
thin_pool_chunk_size=8
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
thin_pool_zero=1
}
(dumpconfig of given --config configuration only)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation
allocation {
thin_pool_chunk_size=16
}
The --mergedconfig option causes the configuration cascade to be
merged before processing it with dumpconfig:
(dumpconfig of merged selected profile and lvm.conf)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test allocation --mergedconfig
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
thin_pool_zero=1
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=8
}
(dumpconfig merged given --config and selected profile and lvm.conf)
raw/~ $ lvm dumpconfig --profile test --config 'allocation{thin_pool_chunk_size=16}' allocation --mergedconfig
allocation {
maximise_cling=1
thin_pool_zero=1
thin_pool_discards="passdown"
mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs=0
thin_pool_chunk_size=16
}
Hence with the --mergedconfig, we are able to see the
configuration that is actually used when processing any
LVM command while using any combination of --config/--profile
options together with lvm.conf file.
