LVM2 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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Build and install LVM2.
|
|
|
|
Run 'make install' from the top directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) 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.
