MeLVin

A 100% Rust implementation of LVM and libdevmapper

Currently a big pile of pieces, someday this could be a nice library that provides a nice API to LVM that clients could use.

• parsing of metadata and lvm.conf
• locking
• dm ioctls
• lvmetad support (lvmetad required)
• no legacy support

Development status

ALPHA. Do not test on a system with data you care about, especially any APIs that write anything (i.e take &mut self as an argument).

Documentation

API Documentation generated by rustdoc.

Example

  use melvin::lvmetad;
  
  let mut vgs = lvmetad::vgs_from_lvmetad().expect("could not get vgs from lvmetad"); 
  let mut vg = vgs.pop().expect("no vgs in vgs");
  
  println!("first vg name = {} uuid = {}", vg.name, vg.id);
