Notes about the Debian packaging of LVM
=======================================

The /etc/init.d/lvm script checks for the existence of /proc/lvm before it
will work. If you do not wish to compile /proc support for LVM into your
kernel, you should edit the /etc/init.d/lvm script so that it doesn't
make this check.

Also note that if you compile LVM as a module, you will have to add it to
/etc/modules in order for the lvm init.d script to run properly.

This check is made to ensure that LVM will never be started on a kernel
that doesn't support it.

The script now also checks for the existence of /dev/.devfsd, and will
run vgscan if this is found to create the devices required.


The permissions on the LV devices files is set to root.disk 0660 if you
are either not running devfs OR you are running devfs and your VGs are called
"vg" followed by some numbers. If you want the permissions to be set as above
and your VGs have some other name then you may need to edit the regexp in
/etc/devfsd/conf.d/50lvm.
