lvm_thin_volume

Back to resource list

Manages LVM thin volumes (which are simply logical volumes created with the --thin argument to lvcreate and are contained inside of other logical volumes that were created with the --thinpool option to lvcreate).

Actions

Action Description
:create (default) Create a new thin logical volume
:resize Resize an existing thin logical volume (resizing only handles extending existing, this action will not shrink volumes due to the lvextend command being passed)

name String name property Name of the logical volume
group String (required) Volume group in which to create the new volume (not required if the volume is declared inside of an lvm_volume_group block)
pool String (required) Thin pool volume in which to create the new volume (not required if the volume is declared inside of an lvm_thin_pool block)
size String (required) Size of the thin volume, including units (k, K, m, M, g, G, t, T)
filesystem String nil The format for the file system
filesystem_params String nil Optional parameters to use when formatting the file system
mount_point String, Hash nil Either a String containing the path to the mount point, or a Hash

mount_point

If using a Hash, it must contain the following keys:

  • location - (required) the directory to mount the volume on
  • options - the mount options for the volume
  • dump - the dump field for the fstab entry
  • pass - the pass field for the fstab entry
