LVM2 installation
=================
1) Install device-mapper
Ensure the device-mapper has been installed on the machine.
The device-mapper should be in the kernel (look for 'device-mapper'
messages in the kernel logs) and /usr/include/libdevmapper.h
and libdevmapper.so should be present.
The device-mapper is available from:
ftp://ftp.sistina.com/pub/LVM2/device-mapper/
2) Generate custom makefiles.
Run the 'configure' script from the top directory.
If you wish to use the built-in LVM2 shell and have GNU readline
installed (http://www.gnu.org/directory/readline.html) use:
./configure --enable-readline
If you don't want to include the LVM1 backwards-compatibility code use:
./configure --with-lvm1=none
To separate the LVM1 support into a shared library loaded by lvm.conf use:
./configure --with-lvm1=shared
3) Build and install LVM2.
Run 'make install' from the top directory.
4) Create a configuration file
The tools will work fine without a configuration file being
present, but you ought to review the example file in doc/example.conf.
For example, specifying the devices that LVM2 is to use can
make the tools run more efficiently - and avoid scanning /dev/cdrom!
Please also refer to the WHATS_NEW file and the manual pages for the
individual commands.
