[linux-lvm] lvm.conf parameter for PVs to use for lvcreate ?

[Oliver Rath]

Hi list,

if I use mulitiple PVs, Im able to select these PVs which should be used
by my lv, i.e.

lvcreate --size 10G --name mylv myvg /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3

Is it possible to set these "/dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3" as default in lvm.conf
if nothing is explicitly given?

Tfh!

You can set which PV is not 'allocatable'
(see 'man pvchange --allocatable)

This should be approximately what you want aim to have.
