drbd-lvchange@.service - Man Page

System unit to (de)activate backing LVM2 LVs for a specific DRBD resource

Synopsis

drbd-lvchange@RESNAME​.service

Description

If you try to start (configure) a DRBD using the drbd@RESNAME​.service, chances are that this fails because at the time its backing block devices are not (yet) available​.

If you know those backing devices are LVM2 LVs, enable this optional service, to add an explicit dependency on those LVs and try to activate them first​. It will also de-activate them on stop​.

systemctl enable drbd-lvchange@RESNAME​.service
