[lvm-devel] [PATCH 4/4] Add devices/data_alignment_detection to lvm.conf.

Fri Jun 19 22:55:08 UTC 2009
Adds 'data_alignment_detection' config option to the devices section of
lvm.conf. If your kernel provides topology information in sysfs for the
Physical Volume, the start of data area will be aligned on a multiple of
the ’minimum_io_size’ or ’optimal_io_size’ exposed in sysfs.
minimum_io_size is used if optimal_io_size is undefined (0). If both
md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are enabled the result
of data_alignment_detection is used.

===============================
+ Add devices/data_alignment_detection to lvm.conf.
Add devices/data_alignment_offset_detection to lvm.conf.
Implement pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset to pad offset of pe_start.
Update the man pages to uniformly document size units.
