618 # characterized by a flexible log solution (core, disk, mirrored)
619 # and by the necessity to block I/O while reconfiguring in the
620 # event of a failure.
622 # There is an inherent race in the dmeventd failure handling
623 # logic with snapshots of devices using this type of RAID1 that
624 # in the worst case could cause a deadlock.

627 # "raid1" - This implementation leverages MD's RAID1 personality through
628 # device-mapper. It is characterized by a lack of log options.
629 # (A log is always allocated for every device and they are placed
630 # on the same device as the image - no separate devices are
631 # required.) This mirror implementation does not require I/O
632 # to be blocked in the kernel in the event of a failure.
633 # This mirror implementation is not cluster-aware and cannot be
634 # used in a shared (active/active) fashion in a cluster.

645 # "raid10" - This implementation leverages MD's RAID10 personality through
648 # "mirror" - LVM will layer the 'mirror' and 'stripe' segment types. It
649 # will do this by creating a mirror on top of striped sub-LVs;

665 # Whether to use (trust) a running instance of lvmetad. If this is set to
666 # 0, all commands fall back to the usual scanning mechanisms. When set to 1
667 # *and* when lvmetad is running (automatically instantiated by making use of
668 # systemd's socket-based service activation or run as an initscripts service
669 # or run manually), the volume group metadata and PV state flags are obtained
670 # from the lvmetad instance and no scanning is done by the individual
671 # commands. In a setup with lvmetad, lvmetad udev rules *must* be set up for
672 # LVM to work correctly. Without proper udev rules, all changes in block
673 # device configuration will be *ignored* until a manual 'pvscan --cache'
674 # is performed. These rules are installed by default.
676 # If lvmetad has been running while use_lvmetad was 0, it MUST be stopped
677 # before changing use_lvmetad to 1 and started again afterwards.
679 # If using lvmetad, the volume activation is also switched to automatic
680 # event-based mode. In this mode, the volumes are activated based on
681 # incoming udev events that automatically inform lvmetad about new PVs
682 # that appear in the system. Once the VG is complete (all the PVs are
683 # present), it is auto-activated. The activation/auto_activation_volume_list
684 # setting controls which volumes are auto-activated (all by default).
686 # A note about device filtering while lvmetad is used:
687 # When lvmetad is updated (either automatically based on udev events
688 # or directly by pvscan --cache <device> call), the devices/filter
689 # is ignored and all devices are scanned by default. The lvmetad always
690 # keeps unfiltered information which is then provided to LVM commands
691 # and then each LVM command does the filtering based on devices/filter
693 # To prevent scanning devices completely, even when using lvmetad,
694 # the devices/global_filter must be used.
695 # N.B. Don't use lvmetad with locking type 3 as lvmetad is not yet
696 # supported in clustered environment. If use_lvmetad=1 and locking_type=3
697 # is set at the same time, LVM always issues a warning message about this
698 # and then it automatically disables lvmetad use.
