.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.
|
|
lvm_import_vdo utility imports VDO volumes created and managed by
|
|
.BR vdo (8)
|
|
manager into
|
|
.BR lvm2 (8)
|
|
managed VDO LV. This is realized by moving VDO superblock by 2MiB
|
|
and creating lvm2 metadata at the front of this device. The operation is not reversible,
|
|
thus after conversion to lvm2 the access to VDO data is only possible with
|
|
.BR lvm2 (8)
|
|
commands,
|
|
.BR vdo (8)
|
|
manager no longer control such volume.
|

|
|
Display the help text.

.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR -n | --name
|
|
Specifies the name of converted VDO LV. When the name is not specified,
|
|
some automatic name is selected. In case the converted VDO volume is
|
|
already using LV a backend device, the name of this LV is used for VDO LV.
|
|
In this case also the of volume group must stay same.
|
|
Automatic name may change between releases and currently selects
|
|
"vdolv" as LV name and VG name is selected from sequence
|
|
"vdovg", "vdovg1", ...
|
|
.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR -v | --verbose
|
|
Be more verbose.
|
|
.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR -y | --yes
|
|
Answer "yes" at any prompts.

.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR --dry-run
|
|
Print verbosely commands without running them.
|
|
.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR --no-snapshot
|
|
With this option conversion tool will not use snapshot (COW storage) for conversion
|
|
in your $TMPDIR filesystem and it will directly manipulate with VDO device in-place.
|
|
Warning: the snapshot usage makes the whole conversion transactional and
|
|
the snapshot can be just simply merged once the whole conversion
|
|
has successfully proceeded. In the case of error the snapshot is just removed.
|
|
Without the use of snapshot there is higher risk of problems with recoverability in
|
|
case some unexpected error occurs.
|
|
.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR --vdo-config
|
|
