GEOM_LINUX_LVM(4)	    Kernel Interfaces Manual	     GEOM_LINUX_LVM(4)

NAME
       geom_linux_lvm -- GEOM based Linux LVM logical volume mapping

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  this  driver  into the kernel, place the following line in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     options GEOM_LINUX_LVM

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at	boot time,  place  the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     geom_linux_lvm_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The  geom_linux_lvm  framework  provides	 support for mapping Linux LVM
       volumes to GEOM providers.  geom_linux_lvm  currently  supports	linear
       stripes	with  segments	on  one	or more	physical disks.	 The parser is
       able to read LVM2 Text Format metadata, the logical volumes will	be as-
       sembled and made	available  under  /dev/linux_lvm/.   The  metadata  is
       read-only, logical volumes cannot be allocated or resized.

EXAMPLES
       To view which geom_linux_lvm devices are	available:

	     # geom linux_lvm list
	     Geom name:	vg1
	     Providers:
	     1.	Name: linux_lvm/vg1-home
		Mediasize: 4294967296 (4.0G)
		Sectorsize: 512
		Mode: r0w0e0
	     2.	Name: linux_lvm/vg1-logs
		Mediasize: 4294967296 (4.0G)
		Sectorsize: 512
		Mode: r0w0e0
