Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.98-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I have a setup with hot-plug drives with LVM on them and would like to have them automatically activated when plugged in. The way to achieve this, at least according to what I found on the web, is to make lvm aware of hotplug events, and the way to do that is to let it use information from lvmetad using 'use_lvmetad=1' in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf. This option is described even in the package for wheezy, but I didn't find 'lvmetad' in the lvm2 package. Looking at the source package in unstable I didn't find the corresponding '--enable-lvmetad' option to configure, and I found this in the Debian build log: checking whether to build LVMetaD... no I can understand why lvmetad might not be enabled by default. Is there a reason not to build it? (This is not rhetoric; I really like to know whether there is a reason not to build it.) Even if it is now too late to get anything like this into wheezy: it would be nice to have a patch which enables lvmetad so that someone can either build their own package easily or maybe even get it later from backports, should it enter there. thanks, Frank Loeffler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
