NAME

       geom_linux_lvm — GEOM based Linux LVM logical volume mapping

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

             options GEOM_LINUX_LVM

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             geom_linux_lvm_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  geom_linux_lvm  framework  provides  support  for  mapping  Linux  LVM  volumes  to  GEOM providers.
       geom_linux_lvm currently supports linear stripes with segments on one or more physical disks.  The parser
       is able to read LVM2 Text Format metadata, the logical volumes will be assembled and made available under
       /dev/linux_lvm/.  The metadata is read-only, logical volumes cannot be allocated or resized.

EXAMPLES

       To view which geom_linux_lvm devices are available:

             # geom linux_lvm list
             Geom name: vg1
