LVMETAD(8)LVMETAD(8)NAMElvmetad - LVM metadata cache daemon
SYNOPSISlvmetad [-l {all|wire|debug} ] [-s path ] [-f] [-h] [-V] [-?]
DESCRIPTIONlvmetad is a metadata caching daemon for LVM. The daemon receives noti‐
fications from udev rules (which must be installed for LVM to work cor‐
rectly when lvmetad is in use). Through these notifications, lvmetad
has an up-to-date and consistent image of the volume groups available
in the system.
By default, lvmetad, even if running, is not used by LVM. See
lvm.conf(5).
OPTIONS-l {all|wire|debug}
Select the type of log messages to generate. Messages are
logged by syslog. Additionally, when -f is given they are also
sent to standard error. Since release 2.02.98, there are two
classes of messages: wire and debug. Selecting 'all' supplies
both and is equivalent to a comma-separated list -l wire,debug.
Prior to release 2.02.98, repeating -d from 1 to 3 times, viz.
-d, -dd, -ddd, increased the detail of messages.
-f Don't fork, run in the foreground.
-h, -? Show help information.
-s path
Path to the socket file to use. The option overrides both the
built-in default (/var/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket) and the environ‐
ment variable LVM_LVMETAD_SOCKET.
-V Display the version of lvmetad daemon.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LVM_LVMETAD_SOCKET
override path for socket file to use.
