+.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+.
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+Autoactivation is the activation of LVs performed automatically by the
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+system in response to LVM devices being attached to the machine. When all
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+PVs in a VG have been attached, the VG is complete, and LVs in the VG are
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+activated.
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+.P
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+Autoactivation of VGs, or specific LVs, can be prevented using vgchange or
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+lvchange --setautoactivation n. The lvm.conf auto_activation_volume_list
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+is another way to limit autoactivation.
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+.P
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+The most common form of autoactivation is "event based", in which complete
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+VGs are activated in response to uevents which occur during system startup
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+or at any time after the system has started. Another form of
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+autoactivation is "service based" in which complete VGs are activated at a
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+fixed point during system startup by a systemd service, and are not
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+activated in response to uevents. This can be controlled with the
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+lvm.conf setting event_activation.
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+.P
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+Event based autoactivation is driven by udev, udev rules, and systemd.
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+When a device is attached to a machine, a uevent is generated by the
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+kernel to notify userspace of the new device. systemd-udev runs udev
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+rules to process the new device. Udev rules use blkid to identify the
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+device as an LVM PV and then execute the lvm-specific udev rule for the
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+device, which triggers autoactivation.
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+.P
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+There are two variations of event based autoactivation that may be used a
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+system, depending on the LVM udev rule that is installed (found in
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+/lib/udev/rules.d/.) The following summarizes the steps in each rule
|
|
|
b6fb8c |
+which lead to autoactivation:

b6fb8c |
+The existence of the file is used to determine when all PVs for a given VG
|

b6fb8c |

|
|
