[lvm-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Add devices/data_alignment_offset_detection to lvm.conf.

Mike Snitzer snitzer at redhat.com
Tue Jun 9 04:42:16 UTC 2009


If the pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset option is not specified the offset
of the start of a PV's aligned data area will be padded with the
associated 'alignment_offset' exposed in sysfs (unless
devices/data_alignment_offset_detection is disabled in lvm.conf).

 Version 2.02.48 - 
 ===============================
+  Add devices/data_alignment_offset_detection to lvm.conf.
   Implement pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset to pad offset of pe_start.
   Allow specifying commandline sizes in terms of bytes and sectors.
   Round up requested readahead to at least one page and print warning.
