Release 2.02.107 is available. ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/LVM2.2.02.107.tgz ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/LVM2.2.02.107.tgz.asc ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/WHATS_NEW ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/WHATS_NEW_DM The most important new feature is a new command line argument: --select (or -S) This lets you apply selection criteria to the output of reporting commands. We'll add it to commands that change things in a future release. A simple example: pvs -S 'free > 100M, name =~ sd' shows only PVs with more than 100M of free space and with the string 'sd' in their name. Use '-S help' for a brief summary of the fields and operators or look at the man pages for a little more detail. Recall that -o lets you choose the fields to display, -O controls the sort order and --noheadings, --separator, --rows, --nameprefixes, --units and --nosuffix offer some alternative forms of output to help you to write different types of scripts. For debugging, or in scripts, use -o+selected to see all the output as before but with a new column that indicates whether or not each row meets your selection criteria. We also plan to split out new fields from the various 'attribute' fields to simplify access to the information they contain. 'dmsetup info -c' also accepts -S. ------------- The LVM SSD caching support in this release remains experimental and can be enabled using: configure --with-cache=internal I'd also like to mention that there have been several extensions to dumpconfig and profiles recently to help you to manage LVM configuration.
