NAME
lvmetad - LVM metadata cache daemon
SYNOPSIS
lvmetad [-l {all|wire|debug} ] [-s path ] [-f] [-h] [-V] [-?]
DESCRIPTION
lvmetad is a metadata caching daemon for LVM. The daemon receives noti-
fications from udev rules (which must be installed for LVM to work cor-
rectly when lvmetad is in use). Through these notifications, lvmetad
has an up-to-date and consistent image of the volume groups available
in the system.
By default, lvmetad, even if running, is not used by LVM. See
lvm.conf(5).
OPTIONS
-l {all|wire|debug}
Select the type of log messages to generate. Messages are
logged by syslog. Additionally, when -f is given they are also
sent to standard error. Since release 2.02.98, there are two
classes of messages: wire and debug. Selecting 'all' supplies
both and is equivalent to a comma-separated list -l wire,debug.
Prior to release 2.02.98, repeating -d from 1 to 3 times, viz.
-d, -dd, -ddd, increased the detail of messages.
-f Don't fork, run in the foreground.
-h, -? Show help information.
-s path
Path to the socket file to use. The option overrides both the
built-in default (/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket) and the environment
variable LVM_LVMETAD_SOCKET.
-V Show version of dmeventd.
