/etc/lvmtab file

[BrickTop]

Hello everyone,

Is the lvmtab file static or dynamic, If I deactivate a volume group will it remove the entry from the /etc/lvmtab??

Thanks in advance!

Well if you de-activate a volume group it isn't removed from lvmtab, but I wouldn't class it as a truly "static" file - it can and does change - every time I add or remove a volume group it is changed, and even if I export a volume group it is removed from lvmtab.

Hi,

   Yes /etc/lvmtab file entries are dynamic and once you deactivate the vg ,file updates immediately but isn't remove the entry from the /etc/lvmtab file as you are just deactivating VG.
