I have a novice question. How does the LVM
protect its metadata. I mean does it do some
sort of metadata check when machine comes up
(notices the system did not shutdown properly)?
Or maybe it uses journaling? I imagine the
updates to lv/vg/pv structures have to be
transactional.
Thanks,
Go-Tze

Transactional updates will go into LVM after mid November. Checksums
for the metadata will also go in at this point. ATM problems are
spotted by consistency checks (the is a lot of duplication between the
pv's). If a problem is spotted the administrator can restore from the
automatic metadata backups.
