Overview

The name of the logical volume. This is the unqualified name and will be automatically added to the volume group's device path (e.g., '/dev/$vg/$lv').

Properties

• ensure (defaults to: present)

  The basic property that the resource should be in.

  Supported values:

  • present
  • absent
• mirror

  The number of mirrors of the volume.

• mirrorlog

  How to store the mirror log (core, disk, mirrored).

  Supported values:

  • core
  • disk
  • mirrored
• size

  The size of the logical volume. Set to undef to use all available space

• volume_group

  The volume group name associated with this logical volume. This will automatically set this volume group as a dependency, but it must be defined elsewhere using the volume_group resource type.

Parameters

  Supported values:

  • anywhere
  • contiguous
  • cling
  • inherit
  • normal

  The number of logical extents to allocate for the new logical volume. Set to undef to use all available space

• initial_size

  The initial size of the logical volume. This will only apply to newly-created volumes

• persistent

  Set to true to make the block device persistent

• poolmetadatasize

  The readahead count to use for the new logical volume.

• region_size
• resize_fs (defaults to: true)

  Whether or not to resize the underlying filesystem when resizing the logical volume.

• size_is_minsize (defaults to: false)

  Set to true if the 'size' parameter specified, is just the minimum size you need (if the LV found is larger then the size requests this is just logged not causing a FAIL)

• stripes

  The number of stripes to allocate for the new logical volume.

• stripesize

  The stripesize to use for the new logical volume.

• thinpool (defaults to: false)

  Set to true to create a thin pool or to pool name to create thin volume
