NAME

lvconvert − convert a logical volume from linear to mirror or snapshot

SYNOPSIS

lvconvert −m|−−mirrors Mirrors [−−mirrorlog {disk|core}] [−−corelog] [−R|−−regionsize MirrorLogRegionSize] [−A|−−alloc AllocationPolicy] [−b|−−background] [−i|−−interval Seconds] [−h|−?|−−help] [−v|−−verbose] [−−version]

lvconvert −s|−−snapshot [−c|−−chunksize ChunkSize] [−h|−?|−−help] [−v|−−verbose] [−Z|−−zero y|n] [−−version]
OriginalLogicalVolume[Path] SnapshotLogicalVolume[Path]

DESCRIPTION

lvconvert will change a linear logical volume to a mirror logical volume or to a snapshot of linear volume and vice versa. It is also used to add and remove disk logs from mirror devices.

OPTIONS

See lvm for common options.
Exactly one of −−mirrors or −−snapshot arguments required.
−m, −−mirrors Mirrors

Specifies the degree of the mirror you wish to create. For example, "-m 1" would convert the original logical volume to a mirror volume with 2-sides; that is, a linear volume plus one copy.

−−mirrorlog {disk|core}

Specifies the type of log to use. The default is disk, which is persistent and requires a small amount of storage space, usually on a separate device from the data being mirrored. Core may be useful for short-lived mirrors: It means the mirror is regenerated by copying the data from the first device again every time the device is activated - perhaps, for example, after every reboot.

−−corelog

The optional argument "--corelog" is the same as specifying "--mirrorlog core".

−R, −−regionsize MirrorLogRegionSize

A mirror is divided into regions of this size (in MB), and the mirror log uses this granularity to track which regions are in sync.

−b, −−background

Run the daemon in the background.

−i, −−interval Seconds

Report progress as a percentage at regular intervals.

−s, −−snapshot

Create a snapshot from existing logical volume using another existing logical volume as its origin.

−c, −−chunksize ChunkSize

Power of 2 chunk size for the snapshot logical volume between 4k and 512k.

−Z, −−zero y|n

Controls zeroing of the first KB of data in the snapshot. If the volume is read-only the snapshot will not be zeroed.

Examples

"lvconvert -m1 vg00/lvol1"
converts the linear logical volume "vg00/lvol1" to a two-way mirror logical volume.

"lvconvert --mirrorlog core vg00/lvol1"
converts a mirror with a disk log to a mirror with an in-memory log.

"lvconvert --mirrorlog disk vg00/lvol1"
converts a mirror with an in-memory log to a mirror with a disk log.

"lvconvert -m0 vg00/lvol1"
converts a mirror logical volume to a linear logical volume.

"lvconvert -s vg00/lvol1 vg00/lvol2"
converts logical volume "vg00/lvol2" to snapshot of original volume "vg00/lvol1"
