lvmvdo — EXPERIMENTAL LVM Virtual Data Optimizer support Description VDO (which includes kvdo and vdo) is software that provides inline block-level deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning capabilities for primary storage. Deduplication is a technique for reducing the consumption of storage resources by eliminating multiple copies of duplicate blocks. Compression takes the individual unique blocks and…
lvmthin — LVM thin provisioning Description Blocks in a standard lvm(8) Logical Volume (LV) are allocated when the LV is created, but blocks in a thin provisioned LV are allocated as they are written. Because of this, a thin provisioned LV is given a virtual size, and can then be much larger than physically available…
lvmsystemid — LVM system ID Description The lvm(8) system ID restricts Volume Group (VG) access to one host. This is useful when a VG is placed on shared storage devices, or when local devices are visible to both host and guest operating systems. In cases like these, a VG can be visible to multiple hosts…
lvmreport — LVM reporting and related features Description LVM uses single reporting infrastructure that sets standard on LVM command’s output and it provides wide range of configuration settings and command line options to customize report and filter the report’s output. Categorization based on reporting facility Based on functionality, commands which make use of the reporting…
lvmraid — LVM RAID Description lvm(8) RAID is a way to create a Logical Volume (LV) that uses multiple physical devices to improve performance or tolerate device failures. In LVM, the physical devices are Physical Volumes (PVs) in a single Volume Group (VG). How LV data blocks are placed onto PVs is determined by the…
lvmcache — LVM caching Description lvm(8) includes two kinds of caching that can be used to improve the performance of a Logical Volume (LV). Typically, a smaller, faster device is used to improve i/o performance of a larger, slower LV. To do this, a separate LV is created from the faster device, and then the…
locale – description of multilanguage support Synopsis #include <locale.h> Description A locale is a set of language and cultural rules. These cover aspects such as language for messages, different character sets, lexicographic conventions, and so on. A program needs to be able to determine its locale and act accordingly to be portable to different cultures….
