Appendix B. The LVM Configuration

Files

LVM supports multiple configuration files. At system startup, the

lvm.conf

configuration file is

loaded from the directory specified by the environment variable

LVM_SYSTEM_DIR

, which is set to

/etc/lvm

by default.

The

lvm.conf

file can specify additional configuration files to load. Settings in later files override

settings from earlier ones. To display the settings in use after loading all the configuration files,

execute the

lvm dumpconfig

command.

For information on loading additional configuration files, see

Section 2, “Host Tags”

1. The LVM Configuration Files

The following files are used for LVM configuration:

/etc/lvm/lvm.conf

Central configuration file read by the tools.

etc/lvm/lvm_

hosttag

.conf

For each host tag, an extra configuration file is read if it exists:

lvm_hosttag.conf

. If that

file defines new tags, then further configuration files will be appended to the list of tiles to

read in. For information on host tags, see

Section 2, “Host Tags”

In addition to the LVM configuration files, a system running LVM includes the following files that

affect LVM system setup:

/etc/lvm/.cache

Device name filter cache file (configurable).

/etc/lvm/backup/

Directory for automatic volume group metadata backups (configurable).

/etc/lvm/archive/

Directory for automatic volume group metadata archives (configurable with regard to

directory path and archive history depth).

/var/lock/lvm/

In single-host configuration, lock files to prevent parallel tool runs from corrupting the

metadata; in a cluster, cluster-wide DLM is used.
