lvol – Configure LVM logical volumes
Synopsis
- This module creates, removes or resizes logical volumes.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| active boolean added in 2.2 |
| Whether the volume is activate and visible to the host. |
| force boolean |
| Shrink or remove operations of volumes requires this switch. Ensures that that filesystems get never corrupted/destroyed by mistake. |
| lv - | The name of the logical volume. | |
| opts - added in 2.0 | Free-form options to be passed to the lvcreate command. | |
| pvs - added in 2.2 | Comma separated list of physical volumes (e.g. /dev/sda,/dev/sdb). | |
| resizefs boolean added in 2.5 |
| Resize the underlying filesystem together with the logical volume. |
| shrink boolean added in 2.2 |
| Shrink if current size is higher than size requested. |
| size - | The size of the logical volume, according to lvcreate(8) --size, by default in megabytes or optionally with one of [bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE] units; or according to lvcreate(8) --extents as a percentage of [VG|PVS|FREE]; Float values must begin with a digit. Resizing using percentage values was not supported prior to 2.1. | |
| snapshot - added in 2.1 | The name of the snapshot volume | |
| state - |
| Control if the logical volume exists. If present and the volume does not already exist then the size option is required. |
| thinpool - added in 2.5 | The thin pool volume name. When you want to create a thin provisioned volume, specify a thin pool volume name. | |
| vg - | The volume group this logical volume is part of. |
Notes
Note
- You must specify lv (when managing the state of logical volumes) or thinpool (when managing a thin provisioned volume).
