linux: lvm
● Resize partition?● Use space on separated disks?● Use speed of multiple devices?● Write same data on more devices?● Backup used filesystem?
● Flexible capacity — multiple disks/partitions● Resizeable storage pools — extend/reduce● Online data relocation● Convenient device naming — names/tags● Disk striping ● Mirroring volumes● Volume Snapshots
● partition, disk, LUN● LVM label — 2nd sector● 0, 1 or 2 copies of ASCII metadata● More PV on one disk?
# vgcreate -s 4M vg_test /dev/sd[a-c]1
● fixed for whole VG● smallest allocable space
● Size of logical extent = Size of physical extent● Map logical extents to physical extents
● Linear● Striped● Mirrored● Snapshot● Virtual
Linear● concatenate physical
extents to logical volume
● flexible space allocation
● Example:● 2×99 physical extents● 198 logical extents
# lvcreate -L 50G -n lv_linear vg_test# lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n lv_linear vg_test
Striped● round robin● effective for large I/O
# lvcreate -L 50G -i 3 -I 128 -n lv_linear vg_test
● Identical copies● Mirror log on another
device or in memory● Mirror != backup● mirror_image_fault_p

● stores only differences● origin and snapshot, both are RW● snapshot != backup● 100% full is lost completely● Use
● backup● fsck● test/rollback on production data “—merge”● virtual machines
lvcreate —size 100M —snapshot —name lv_snap /dev/vg0/lv0
● —virtualsize VirtualSize● sparse device
$ lvcreate —virtualsize 1T —size 100M —snapshot —name sparse vg1
● linear● striped● mirror● snapshot and snapshot-origin● error● zero● multipath● crypt

● Until Linux kernel 2.6.31[1], write barriers were not supported (fully supported in 2.6.33). This means that the guarantee against filesystem corruption offered by journaled file systems like ext3 and XFS was negated under some circumstances.[2]
● Device mapper does not honor barriers● Barriers are disabled by default● mount -t ext3 -o barrier=1
