|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
lvconvert will change a linear logical volume to a mirror
|
|
logical volume or to a snapshot of linear volume and vice versa.
|
|
It is also used to add and remove disk logs from mirror devices.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
|
|
.br
|
|
Exactly one of \-\-mirrors or \-\-snapshot arguments required.
|
|
.br
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-m, \-\-mirrors Mirrors
|
|
Specifies the degree of the mirror you wish to create.
|
|
For example, "-m 1" would convert the original logical
|
|
volume to a mirror volume with 2-sides; that is, a
|
|
linear volume plus one copy.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-\-corelog
|
|
This optional argument tells lvconvert to switch the
|
|
mirror from using a disk-based (persistent) log to
|
|
an in-memory log. You may only specify this option
|
|
when the \-\-mirror argument is the same degree of
|
|
the mirror you are changing.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-R, \-\-regionsize MirrorLogRegionSize
|
|
A mirror is divided into regions of this size (in MB), and the mirror log
|
|
uses this granularity to track which regions are in sync.
|
|
.br
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-s, \-\-snapshot
|
|
Create a snapshot from existing logical volume using another
|
|
existing logical volume as its origin.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-c, \-\-chunksize ChunkSize
|
|
Power of 2 chunk size for the snapshot logical volume between 4k and 512k.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-Z, \-\-zero y/n
|
|
Controls zeroing of the first KB of data in the snapshot.
|
|
If the volume is read-only the snapshot will not be zeroed.
|
|
.br
|
|
.SH Examples
|
|
"lvconvert -m1 vg00/lvol1"
|
|
.br
|
|
converts the linear logical volume "vg00/lvol1" to
|
|
a mirror logical volume. This command could also
|
|
be used to convert a two-way mirror with an
|
|
in-memory log to a two-way mirror with a disk log.
|
|
|
|
"lvconvert -m1 --corelog vg00/lvol1"
|
|
.br
|
|
converts a two-way mirror with a disk log to a
|
|
two-way mirror with an in-memory log.
|
|
|
|
"lvconvert -m0 vg00/lvol1"
|
|
.br
|
|
converts a mirror logical volume to a linear logical
|
|
volume.
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
"lvconvert -s vg00/lvol1 vg00/lvol2"
|
|
.br
|
|
converts logical volume "vg00/lvol2" to snapshot of original volume "vg00/lvol1"
