package/lvm2: lvmetad integration
lvmetad is usually combined with event-based system services that automatically run pvscan --cache on disks added or removed. This way, the cache is automatically updated with metadata from new disks when they appear. LVM udev rules and systemd services implement this automation. Automatic scanning is usually combined with automatic activation. For more information, see pvscan(8).

Install lvmetad
|
||||
|
||||
The lvmetad daemon caches LVM metadata so that LVM commands
|
||||
can read metadata from the cache rather than scanning disks.
|
||||
This can be an advantage because scanning disks is time
|
||||
consuming and may interfere with the normal work of the
|
||||
system. lvmetad can be a disadvantage when disk event
|
||||
notifications from the system are unreliable.
