Description jmranger 2023-04-07 17:42:17 UTC
Found while attempting to build from source for the first time.

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL;h=8d0d54de333dbdf6a4fa040d6b87565c2e518229;hb=HEAD

Line 27, should doc/example.conf be conf/example.conf instead?

Comment 1 Zdenek Kabelac 2023-04-12 12:10:56 UTC
In practice it's somewhat outdated  -  user should use:

lvm dumpconfig --type default --unconfigured --withgeneralpreamble --withcomments --ignorelocal --withspaces

to obtain runtime info.

We are likely heading towards 'minimalistic'   lvm.conf file in /etc/lvm dir,
so we will see which approach would be the best.

We might as well install this  'config' into  doc  dir of installed lvm2 package.

Comment 4 Zdenek Kabelac 2025-12-14 23:13:19 UTC
Fixed upstream (with 2.03.38)
