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
