ADAPTLVM(8)

💖 ADAPTLVM — the group chat guide to adaptlvm(8) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the System Manager's Manual section 8, and it's literally all about flipping an LVMVDO base storage between read-only and read/write. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

adaptlvm — Adapts an LVMVDO base storage to RW

like, that's the whole job description. it takes your LVMVDO base storage and adapts it to RW. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

adaptlvm filename

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one command, one filename, and we're off 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea ☕

adaptlvm tears down an LVMVDO stack to expose the VDO backing device as read only.

that's the move. it pulls the stack apart so the backing device underneath is just... sitting there, visible, read-only. lowkey dramatic, highkey useful 🫶

🧚 OPTIONS 🧚

• setRW — Set the backing storage as Read/Write ✨ (yes queen, we're writing now)
• setRO — Sets the backing storage back to Read-Only 🔒 (putting it back in the glass case, respectfully)
• volume_group/logical_volume — The volume group name and logical volume name for the LVMVDO volume. like, you gotta tell it which volume group and which logical volume, bestie. volume_group/logical_volume, slash between them, no spaces. that's the whole format 💜

go read that one too, iykyk 🌈

💀 heads up bestie: the DESCRIPTION is real clear that this thing tears down the LVMVDO stack and exposes the VDO backing device as read only. so don't be surprised when it's, y'know, read-only. that's not a bug, that's the whole point 🙈
