SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

OPTIONS¶

-f, --file Filename

Send output to a file named 'filename'.

-l, --list

List configuration settings with summarizing comment. This is the same as using lvmconfig --type list --withsummary.

--type {current|default|diff|full|missing|new|profilable|profilable-command|profilable-metadata}

Select the type of configuration to display. The configuration settings displayed have either default values or currently-used values assigned based on the type selected. If no type is selected, --type current is used by default. Whenever a configuration setting with a default value is commented out, it means the setting does not have any concrete default value defined. Output can be saved and used as a proper lvm.conf(5) file.

--atversion Version

Specify an LVM version in x.y.z format where x is the major version, the y is the minor version and z is the patchlevel (e.g. 2.2.106). When configuration is displayed, the configuration settings recognized at this LVM version will be considered only. This can be used to display a configuration that a certain LVM version understands and which does not contain any newer settings for which LVM would issue a warning message when checking the configuration.

--sinceversion Version

Specify an LVM version in x.y.z format where x is the major version, the y is the minor version and z is the patchlevel (e.g. 2.2.106). This option is currently applicable only with --type new to display all configuration settings introduced since given version.

--ignoreadvanced

Exclude advanced configuration settings from the output.

--ignoreunsupported

Exclude unsupported configuration settings from the output. These settings are either used for debugging and development purposes only or their support is not yet complete and they are not meant to be used in production. The current and diff types include unsupported settings in their output by default, all the other types ignore unsupported settings.

--ignorelocal

Ignore local section.

--config ConfigurationString

Use ConfigurationString to override existing configuration. This configuration is then applied for the lvmconfig command itself. See also lvm.conf(5) for more info about config cascade.

--commandprofile ProfileName

Use ProfileName to override existing configuration. This configuration is then applied for the lvmconfig command itself. See also --mergedconfig option and lvm.conf(5) for more info about config cascade.

--profile ProfileName

The same as using --commandprofile but the configuration is not applied for the lvmconfig command itself.

--metadataprofile ProfileName

Use ProfileName to override existing configuration. The configuration defined in metadata profile has no effect for the lvmconfig command itself. lvmconfig displays the configuration only. See also --mergedconfig option and lvm.conf(5) for more info about config cascade.

--mergedconfig

When the lvmconfig command is run with the --config option and/or --commandprofile (or using LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE environment variable), --profile, --metadataprofile option, merge all the contents of the config cascade before displaying it. Without the --mergeconfig option used, only the configuration at the front of the cascade is displayed. See also lvm.conf(5) for more info about config cascade.

--showdeprecated

Include deprecated configuration settings in the output. These settings are always deprecated since certain version. If concrete version is specified with --atversion option, deprecated settings are automatically included if specified version is lower that the version in which the settings were deprecated. The current and diff types include deprecated settings int their output by default, all the other types ignore deprecated settings.

--showunsupported

Include unsupported configuration settings in the output. These settings are either used for debugging or development purposes only or their support is not yet complete and they are not meant to be used in production. The current and diff types include unsupported settings in their output by default, all the other types ignore unsupported settings.

--validate

Validate current configuration used and exit with appropriate return code. The validation is done only for the configuration at the front of the config cascade. To validate the whole merged configuration tree, use also the --mergedconfig option. The validation is done even if config/checks lvm.conf(5) option is disabled.

--withsummary

Display a one line comment for each configuration node.

--withcomments

Display a full comment for each configuration node. For deprecated settings, also display comments about deprecation in addition.

--withspaces

Where appropriate, add more spaces in output for better readability.

--withversions

Also display a comment containing the version of introduction for each configuration node. If the setting is deprecated, also display the version since which it is deprecated.
