| Installation |
| ============ |
| |
| 1) Generate custom makefiles. |
| |
| Run the 'configure' script from the top directory. |
| |
| If you don't want to include the LVM1 backwards-compatibility code use: |
| ./configure --with-lvm1=none |
| |
| To separate the LVM1 support into a shared library loaded by lvm.conf use: |
| ./configure --with-lvm1=shared |
| |
| Use ./configure --help to see other options. |
| |
| 2) Build and install. |
| |
| Run 'make' from the top directory to build everything you configured. |
| Run 'make install' to build and install everything you configured. |
| |
| If you only want the device-mapper libraries and tools use |
| 'make device-mapper' or 'make install_device-mapper'. |
| |
| 3) If using LVM2, create a configuration file. |
| |
| The tools will work fine without a configuration file being |
| present, but you ought to review the example file in doc/example.conf. |
| |
| Please also refer to the WHATS_NEW file and the manual pages for the |
| individual commands. |
