Hi


lvm2api is rather purely experimental part of lvm2 - it has no real maintainer
and no real plans on further development ATM.

I'd strongly recommend to use lvm2 commands - since they are far more 
optimized and tested.

lvm2api at current stage has huge list of hardly resolvable issues and some 
new way has to be used to fix them (likely some 'client/server' model)
