config: remove duplication of settings
The specific config settings have been removed
from the lvm.conf(5) man page, and replaced with
a description of how to use lvm dumpconfig to
view the settings.
The sample lvm.conf and lvmlocal.conf files are now generated:
example.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
example.conf.gen - generated portion from dumpconfig
example.conf.in - combination of .base and .gen files
example.conf - result of configure processing .in file
lvmlocal.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
lvmlocal.conf.gen - generated portion from dumpconfig
lvmlocal.conf.in - combination of .base and .gen files
lvmlocal.conf - result of configure processing .in file
Do not edit the .in files, but edit config_settings.h
or the .base files, and then use 'make generate' to create
the new .in files.
- configure
with options
- make
creates tools/lvm
- make generate
uses tools/lvm to create example.conf.in and lvmlocal.conf.in
by combining .base files with dumpconfig output.
- configure
with same options as above
creates example.conf and lvmlocal.conf from .in files

+The
+.B lvm dumpconfig
+command prints the LVM configuration settings in various ways.

.br
-\fBdevices { preferred_names = [ "^/dev/mapper/mpath" ] }\fP
-.IP
-\fBfilter\fP \(em List of patterns to apply to devices found by a scan.
-Patterns are regular expressions delimited by any character and preceded
-by \fBa\fP (for accept) or \fBr\fP (for reject). The list is traversed
-in order, and the first regex that matches determines if the device
-will be accepted or rejected (ignored). Devices that don't match
-any patterns are accepted. If you want to reject patterns that
-don't match, end the list with "r/.*/".
-If there are several names for the same device (e.g. symbolic links
-in /dev), if the first matching pattern in the list for any of the names is an
-\fBa\fP pattern, the device is accepted; otherwise if the first matching
-pattern in the list for any of the names is an \fBr\fP pattern it is rejected;
-otherwise it is accepted. As an example, to ignore /dev/cdrom you could use:
+.B lvm dumpconfig \-\-type default
+
+Command to print a list of all possible config settings, with their
+default values, and a full description of each as a comment:
.br
-\fBdevices { filter=["r|cdrom|"] }\fP
-.IP
-\fBglobal_filter\fP \(em Since "filter" might get overridden from the command line, it
-is not suitable for system-wide device filtering (udev rules, lvmetad). To hide
-devices from LVM-specific udev processing and/or from lvmetad, you need to set
-global_filter. The syntax is the same as for normal "filter" above. Devices that
-fail the global_filter are not even opened by LVM.
-.IP
-\fBcache_dir\fP \(em Persistent filter cache file directory.
-Defaults to "#DEFAULT_CACHE_DIR#".
-.IP
-\fBwrite_cache_state\fP \(em Set to 0 to disable the writing out of the
-persistent filter cache file when \fBlvm\fP exits.
-Defaults to 1.
-.IP
-\fBtypes\fP \(em List of pairs of additional acceptable block device types
-found in /proc/devices together with maximum (non-zero) number of
-partitions (normally 16). By default, LVM2 supports ide, sd, md, loop,
-dasd, dac960, nbd, ida, cciss, ubd, ataraid, drbd, power2, i2o_block
-and iseries/vd. Block devices with major
-numbers of different types are ignored by LVM2.
-Example: \fBtypes = ["fd", 16]\fP.
-To create physical volumes on device-mapper volumes
-created outside LVM2, perhaps encrypted ones from \fBcryptsetup\fP,
-you'll need \fBtypes = ["device-mapper", 16]\fP. But if you do this,
-be careful to avoid recursion within LVM2. The figure for number
-of partitions is not currently used in LVM2 - and might never be.
-.IP
-\fBsysfs_scan\fP \(em If set to 1 and your kernel supports sysfs and
-it is mounted, sysfs will be used as a quick way of filtering out
-block devices that are not present.
-.IP
-\fBmd_component_detection\fP \(em If set to 1, LVM2 will ignore devices
-used as components of software RAID (md) devices by looking for md
-superblocks. This doesn't always work satisfactorily e.g. if a device
-has been reused without wiping the md superblocks first.
-.IP
-\fBmd_chunk_alignment\fP \(em If set to 1, and a Physical Volume is placed
-directly upon an md device, LVM2 will align its data blocks with the
-md device's stripe-width.
-.IP
-\fBdata_alignment_detection\fP \(em If set to 1, and 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 the smallest
-request the device can perform without incurring a read-modify-write
-penalty (e.g. MD's chunk size). optimal_io_size is the device's
-preferred unit of receiving I/O (e.g. MD's stripe width). minimum_io_size
-is used if optimal_io_size is undefined (0). If both \fBmd_chunk_alignment\fP
-and \fBdata_alignment_detection\fP are enabled the result of
-\fBdata_alignment_detection\fP is used.
-.IP
-\fBdata_alignment\fP \(em Default alignment (in KB) of start of data area
-when creating a new Physical Volume using the \fBlvm2\fP format.
-If a Physical Volume is placed directly upon an md device and
-\fBmd_chunk_alignment\fP or \fBdata_alignment_detection\fP is enabled
-this parameter is ignored. Set to 0 to use the default alignment of
-64KB or the page size, if larger.
-.IP
-\fBdata_alignment_offset_detection\fP \(em If set to 1, and your kernel
-provides topology information in sysfs for the Physical Volume, the
-start of the aligned data area of the Physical Volume will be shifted
-by the alignment_offset exposed in sysfs.
-.sp
-To see the location of the first Physical Extent of an existing Physical Volume

-\fBdata_alignment_offset_detection\fP (if enabled) or the pvcreate
-commandline.
-.IP
-\fBdisable_after_error_count\fP \(em During each LVM operation errors received
-from each device are counted. If the counter of a particular device exceeds
-the limit set here, no further I/O is sent to that device for the remainder of
-the respective operation. Setting the parameter to 0 disables the counters
-altogether.
-.IP
-\fBpv_min_size\fP \(em
-Minimal size (in KB) of the block device which can be used as a PV.
-In clustered environment all nodes have to use the same value.
-Any value smaller than 512KB is ignored. Up to and include version 2.02.84
-the default was 512KB. From 2.02.85 onwards it was changed to 2MB to
-avoid floppy drives by default.
-.IP
-\fBissue_discards\fP \(em
-Issue discards to a logical volumes's underlying physical volume(s) when the
-logical volume is no longer using the physical volumes' space (e.g. lvremove,
-lvreduce, etc). Discards inform the storage that a region is no longer in use.
-Storage that supports discards advertise the protocol specific way discards
-should be issued by the kernel (TRIM, UNMAP, or WRITE SAME with UNMAP bit set).
-Not all storage will support or benefit from discards but SSDs and thinly
-provisioned LUNs generally do. If set to 1, discards will only be issued if
-both the storage and kernel provide support.

-.TP
-\fBallocation\fP \(em Space allocation policies
-.IP
-\fBcling_tag_list\fP \(em List of PV tags matched by the \fBcling\fP allocation policy.
-.IP
-When searching for free space to extend an LV, the \fBcling\fP
-allocation policy will choose space on the same PVs as the last
-segment of the existing LV. If there is insufficient space and a
-list of tags is defined here, it will check whether any of them are
-attached to the PVs concerned and then seek to match those PV tags
-between existing extents and new extents.
-.IP
-The @ prefix for tags is required.
-Use the special tag "@*" as a wildcard to match any PV tag and so use
-all PV tags for this purpose.
-.IP
-For example, LVs are mirrored between two sites within a single VG.
-PVs are tagged with either @site1 or @site2 to indicate where
-they are situated and these two PV tags are selected for use with this
-allocation policy:
-.IP
-cling_tag_list = [ "@site1", "@site2" ]
-.IP
-\fBcache_pool_cachemode\fP \(em Cache mode for new cache pools.
-.IP
-This is the default cache mode a new cache pool will be given.
-Valid cache modes are:
-\fBwritethrough\fP - Data blocks are immediately written from the
-cache to disk.
-\fBwriteback\fP - Data blocks are written from the cache
-back to disk after some delay to improve performance.
-.TP
-\fBlog\fP \(em Default log settings
-.IP
-\fBfile\fP \(em Location of log file. If this entry is not present, no
-log file is written.
-.IP
-\fBoverwrite\fP \(em Set to 1 to overwrite the log file each time a tool
-is invoked. By default tools append messages to the log file.
-.IP
-\fBlevel\fP \(em Log level (0-9) of messages to write to the file.
-9 is the most verbose; 0 should produce no output.
-.IP
-\fBverbose\fP \(em Default level (0-3) of messages sent to stdout or stderr.
-3 is the most verbose; 0 should produce the least output.
-.IP
-\fBsilent\fP \(em Set to 1 to suppress all non-essential tool output.
-When set, display and reporting tools will still write the requested
-device properties to standard output, but messages confirming that
-something was or wasn't changed will be reduced to the 'verbose' level
-and not appear unless \-v is supplied.
-.IP
-\fBsyslog\fP \(em Set to 1 (the default) to send log messages through syslog.
-Turn off by setting to 0. If you set to an integer greater than one,
-this is used - unvalidated - as the facility. The default is LOG_USER.
-See /usr/include/sys/syslog.h for safe facility values to use.
-For example, LOG_LOCAL0 might be 128.
-.IP
-\fBindent\fP \(em When set to 1 (the default) messages are indented
-according to their severity, two spaces per level.
-Set to 0 to turn off indentation.
-.IP
-\fBcommand_names\fP \(em When set to 1, the command name is used as a
-prefix for each message.
-Default is 0 (off).
-.IP
-\fBprefix\fP \(em Prefix used for all messages (after the command name).
-Default is two spaces.
-.IP
-\fBactivation\fP \(em Set to 1 to log messages while
-devices are suspended during activation.
-Only set this temporarily while debugging a problem because
-in low memory situations this setting can cause your machine to lock up.
-.TP
-\fBbackup\fP \(em Configuration for metadata backups.
-.IP
-\fBarchive_dir\fP \(em Directory used for automatic metadata archives.
-Backup copies of former metadata for each volume group are archived here.
-Defaults to "#DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_DIR#".
-.IP
-\fBbackup_dir\fP \(em Directory used for automatic metadata backups.
-A single backup copy of the current metadata for each volume group
-is stored here.
-Defaults to "#DEFAULT_BACKUP_DIR#".
-.IP
-\fBarchive\fP \(em Whether or not tools automatically archive existing
-metadata into \fBarchive_dir\fP before making changes to it.
-Default is 1 (automatic archives enabled).
-Set to 0 to disable.
-Disabling this might make metadata recovery difficult or impossible
-if something goes wrong.
-.IP
-\fBbackup\fP \(em Whether or not tools make an automatic backup
-into \fBbackup_dir\fP after changing metadata.
-Default is 1 (automatic backups enabled). Set to 0 to disable.
-Disabling this might make metadata recovery difficult or impossible
-if something goes wrong.
-.IP
-\fBretain_min\fP \(em Minimum number of archives to keep.
-Defaults to 10.

-\fBshell\fP \(em LVM2 built-in readline shell settings
-.IP
-\fBhistory_size\fP \(em Maximum number of lines of shell history to retain (default 100) in $HOME/.lvm_history
-.TP
-\fBglobal\fP \(em Global settings
-.IP
-\fBtest\fP \(em If set to 1, run tools in test mode i.e. no changes to
-the on-disk metadata will get made. It's equivalent to having the
--t option on every command.
-.IP
-\fBactivation\fP \(em Set to 0 to turn off all communication with
-the device-mapper driver. Useful if you want to manipulate logical
-volumes while device-mapper is not present in your kernel.
-.IP
-\fBproc\fP \(em Mount point of proc filesystem.
-Defaults to /proc.
-.IP
-\fBumask\fP \(em File creation mask for any files and directories created.
-Interpreted as octal if the first digit is zero.
-Defaults to 077.
-Use 022 to allow other users to read the files by default.
-.IP
-\fBformat\fP \(em The default value of \fB\-\-metadatatype\fP used
-to determine which format of metadata to use when creating new
-physical volumes and volume groups. \fBlvm1\fP or \fBlvm2\fP.
-.IP
-\fBfallback_to_lvm1\fP \(em Set this to 1 if you need to
-be able to switch between 2.4 kernels using LVM1 and kernels
-including device-mapper.
-The LVM2 tools should be installed as normal and
-the LVM1 tools should be installed with a .lvm1 suffix e.g.
-vgscan.lvm1.
-If an LVM2 tool is then run but unable to communicate
-with device-mapper, it will automatically invoke the equivalent LVM1
-version of the tool. Note that for LVM1 tools to
-manipulate physical volumes and volume groups created by LVM2 you
-must use \fB\-\-metadataformat lvm1\fP when creating them.
-.IP
-\fBlibrary_dir\fP \(em A directory searched for LVM2's shared libraries
-ahead of the places \fBdlopen\fP (3) searches.
-.IP
-\fBformat_libraries\fP \(em A list of shared libraries to load that contain
-code to process different formats of metadata. For example, liblvm2formatpool.so
-is needed to read GFS pool metadata if LVM2 was configured \fB\-\-with-pool=shared\fP.
-.IP
-\fBlocking_type\fP \(em What type of locking to use.
-1 is the default, which use flocks on files in \fBlocking_dir\fP
-(see below) to
-avoid conflicting LVM2 commands running concurrently on a single
-machine. 0 disables locking and risks corrupting your metadata.
-If set to 2, the tools will load the external \fBlocking_library\fP
-(see below).
-If the tools were configured \fB\-\-with-cluster=internal\fP
-(the default) then 3 means to use built-in cluster-wide locking.
-Type 4 enforces read-only metadata and forbids any operations that
-might want to modify Volume Group metadata.
-All changes to logical volumes and their states are communicated
-using locks.
-.IP
-\fBwait_for_locks\fP \(em When set to 1, the default, the tools
-wait if a lock request cannot be satisfied immediately.
-When set to 0, the operation is aborted instead.
-.IP
-\fBlocking_dir\fP \(em The directory LVM2 places its file locks
-if \fBlocking_type\fP is set to 1. The default is \fB/var/lock/lvm\fP.
-.IP
-\fBlocking_library\fP \(em The name of the external locking
-library to load if \fBlocking_type\fP is set to 2.
-The default is \fBliblvm2clusterlock.so\fP. If you need to write
-such a library, look at the lib/locking source code directory.
-.IP
-\fBuse_lvmetad\fP \(em Whether to use (trust) a running instance of lvmetad. If
-this is set to 0, all commands fall back to the usual scanning mechanisms. When
-set to 1 \fBand\fP when lvmetad is running (it is not auto-started), the volume
-group metadata and PV state flags are obtained from the lvmetad instance and no
-scanning is done by the individual commands. In a setup with lvmetad, lvmetad
-udev rules \fBmust\fP be set up for LVM to work correctly. Without proper udev
-rules, all changes in block device configuration will be \fBignored\fP until a
-manual 'pvscan \-\-cache' is performed.
+.B lvm dumpconfig \-\-type default --withfullcomments
+
+Command to print a list of all possible config settings, with their
+current values (configured, non-default values are shown):
.br
-If lvmetad has been running while use_lvmetad was 0, it \fBMUST\fP be stopped before
-changing use_lvmetad to 1 and started again afterwards.
-.TP
-\fBtags\fP \(em Host tag settings
-.IP
-\fBhosttags\fP \(em If set to 1, create a host tag with the machine name.
-Setting this to 0 does nothing, neither creating nor destroying any tag.
-The machine name used is the nodename as returned by \fBuname\fP (2).
-.IP
-Additional host tags to be set can be listed here as subsections.
-The @ prefix for tags is optional.
-Each of these host tag subsections can contain a \fBhost_list\fP
-array of host names. If any one of these entries matches the machine
-name exactly then the host tag gets defined on this particular host,
-otherwise it doesn't.
-.IP
-After lvm.conf has been processed, LVM2 works through each host
-tag that has been defined in turn, and if there is a configuration
-file called lvm_\fB<host_tag>\fP.conf it attempts to load it.
-The activation/volume_list, devices/filter and devices/types settings are merged
-(these all are lists), otherwise any settings read in override settings found in
-earlier files. Any additional host tags defined get appended to the search list,
-so in turn they can lead to further configuration files being processed.
-Use \fBlvm dumpconfig\fP to check the result of config
-file processing.
-.IP
-The following example always sets host tags \fBtag1\fP and
-sets \fBtag2\fP on machines fs1 and fs2:
-.IP
-tags { tag1 { } tag2 { host_list = [ "fs1", "fs2" ] } }
-.IP
-These options are useful if you are replicating configuration files
-around a cluster. Use of \fBhosttags = 1\fP means every machine
-can have static and identical local configuration files yet use
-different settings and activate different logical volumes by
-default. See also \fBvolume_list\fP below and \fB\-\-addtag\fP
-in \fBlvm\fP (8).
-.TP
-\fBactivation\fP \(em Settings affecting device-mapper activation
-.IP
-\fBmissing_stripe_filler\fP \(em When activating an incomplete logical
-volume in partial mode, this option dictates how the missing data is
-replaced. A value of "error" will cause activation to create error
-mappings for the missing data, meaning that read access to missing
-portions of the volume will result in I/O errors. You can instead also
-use a device path, and in that case this device will be used in place of
-missing stripes. However, note that using anything other than
-"error" with mirrored or snapshotted volumes is likely to result in data
-corruption. For instructions on how to create a device that always
-returns zeros, see \fBlvcreate\fP (8).
-.IP
-\fBmirror_region_size\fP \(em Unit size in KB for copy operations
-when mirroring.
-.IP
-\fBreadahead\fP \(em Used when there is no readahead value stored
-in the volume group metadata. Set to \fBnone\fP to disable
-readahead in these circumstances or \fBauto\fP to use the default
-value chosen by the kernel.
-.IP
-\fBreserved_memory\fP, \fBreserved_stack\fP \(em How many KB to reserve
-for LVM2 to use while logical volumes are suspended. If insufficient
-memory is reserved before suspension, there is a risk of machine deadlock.
-.IP
-\fBprocess_priority\fP \(em The nice value to use while devices are
-suspended. This is set to a high priority so that logical volumes
-are suspended (with I/O generated by other processes to those
-logical volumes getting queued) for the shortest possible time.
-.IP
-\fBvolume_list\fP \(em This acts as a filter through which
-all requests to activate a logical volume on this machine
-are passed. A logical volume is only activated if it matches
-an item in the list. Tags must be preceded by @ and are checked
-against all tags defined in the logical volume and volume group
-metadata for a match.
-@* is short-hand to check every tag set on the host machine (see
-\fBtags\fP above).
-Logical volume and volume groups can also be included in the list
-by name e.g. vg00, vg00/lvol1.
-If this setting is not present but at least one host tag is defined
-then a default single-entry list containing @* is assumed.
-.IP
-\fBauto_activation_volume_list\fP \(em This acts as a filter through
-which all requests to autoactivate a logical volume on this machine
-are passed. A logical volume is autoactivated if it matches
-an item in the list. Volumes must also pass the \fBvolume_list\fP
-filter, if present. Tags must be preceded by @ and are checked against
-all tags defined in the logical volume and volume group metadata for
-a match. @* is short-hand to check every tag set on the host machine
-(see \fBtags\fP above).
-Logical volume and volume groups can also be included in the list
-by name e.g. vg00, vg00/lvol1.
-.IP
-\fBread_only_volume_list\fP \(em This acts as a filter through
-which all requests to activate a logical volume on this machine
-are passed. A logical volume is activated in read-only mode (instead
-of read-write) if it matches an item in the list. Volumes must first
-pass the \fBvolume_list\fP filter, if present. Tags must be preceded
-by @ and are checked against all tags defined in the logical volume
-and volume group metadata for a match.
-@* is short-hand to check every tag set on the host machine (see
-\fBtags\fP above).
-Logical volume and volume groups can also be included in the list
-by name e.g. vg00, vg00/lvol1.
-.TP
-\fBmetadata\fP \(em Advanced metadata settings
-.IP
-\fBpvmetadatacopies\fP \(em When creating a physical volume using the
-LVM2 metadata format, this is the default number of copies of metadata
-to store on each physical volume.
-Currently it can be set to 0, 1 or 2. The default is 1.
-If set to 2, one copy is placed at the beginning of the disk
-and the other is placed at the end.
-It can be overridden on the command line with \fB\-\-pvmetadatacopies\fP
-(see \fBpvcreate\fP).
-If creating a volume group with just one physical volume, it's a
-good idea to have 2 copies. If creating a large volume group with
-many physical volumes, you may decide that 3 copies of the metadata
-is sufficient, i.e. setting it to 1 on three of the physical volumes,
-and 0 on the rest. Every volume group must contain at least one
-physical volume with at least 1 copy of the metadata (unless using
-the text files described below). The disadvantage of having lots
-of copies is that every time the tools access the volume group, every
-copy of the metadata has to be accessed, and this slows down the
-tools.
-.IP
-\fBpvmetadatasize\fP \(em Approximate number of sectors to set aside
-for each copy of the metadata. Volume groups with large numbers of
-physical or logical volumes, or volumes groups containing complex
-logical volume structures will need additional space for their metadata.
-The metadata areas are treated as circular buffers, so
-unused space becomes filled with an archive of the most recent
-previous versions of the metadata.
-.IP
-\fBpvmetadataignore\fP When creating a physical volume using the LVM2
-metadata format, this states whether metadata areas should be ignored.
-The default is "n". If metadata areas on a physical volume are ignored,
-LVM will not not store metadata in the metadata areas present on newly
-created Physical Volumes. The option can be overridden on the command
-line with \fB\-\-metadataignore\fP (See \fBpvcreate\fP and \fBpvchange\fP).
-Metadata areas cannot be created or extended after Logical Volumes have
-been allocated on the device.
-If you do not want to store metadata on this device, it is still wise
-always to allocate a metadata area (use a non-zero value for
-\fB\-\-pvmetadatacopies\fP) in case you need it in the future and to use
-this option to instruct LVM2 to ignore it.
-.IP
-\fBvgmetadatacopies\fP \(em When creating a volume group using the
-LVM2 metadata format, this is the default number of copies of metadata
-desired across all the physical volumes in the volume group. If set to
-a non-zero value, LVM will automatically set or clear the metadataignore
-flag on the physical volumes (see \fBpvcreate\fP and \fBpvchange\fP
-\fB\-\-metadataignore\fP) in order to achieve the desired number of metadata
-copies. An LVM command that adds or removes physical volumes (for example,
-\fBvgextend\fP, \fBvgreduce\fP, \fBvgsplit\fP, or \fBvgmerge\fP), may cause
-LVM to automatically set or clear the metadataignore flags. Also, if
-physical volumes go missing or reappear, or a new number of copies is
-explicitly set (see \fBvgchange \-\-vgmetadatacopies\fP), LVM may adjust
-the metadataignore flags.
-Set \fBvgmetadatacopies\fP to 0 instructs LVM not to set or clear the
-metadataignore flags automatically. You may set a value larger than the
-sum of all metadata areas on all physical volumes. The value can
-be overridden on the command line with \fB\-\-vgmetadatacopies\fP for various
-commands (for example, \fBvgcreate\fP and \fBvgchange\fP), and can be
-queryied with the \fBvg_mda_copies\fP field of \fBvgs\fP. This option
-is useful for volume groups containing large numbers of physical volumes
-with metadata as it may be used to minimize metadata read and write overhead.
-.IP
-\fBdirs\fP \(em List of directories holding live copies of LVM2
-metadata as text files. These directories must not be on logical
-volumes. It is possible to use LVM2 with a couple of directories
-here, preferably on different (non-logical-volume) filesystems
-and with no other on-disk metadata, \fBpvmetadatacopies = 0\fP.
-Alternatively these directories can be in addition to the
-on-disk metadata areas. This feature was created during the
-development of the LVM2 metadata before the new on-disk metadata
-areas were designed and no longer gets tested.
-It is not supported under low-memory conditions, and it is
-important never to edit these metadata files unless you fully
-understand how things work: to make changes you should always use
-the tools as normal, or else vgcfgbackup, edit backup, vgcfgrestore.
