NAME
geom_linux_lvm - GEOM based Linux LVM logical volume mapping
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your

DESCRIPTION
The geom_linux_lvm framework provides support for mapping Linux LVM
volumes to GEOM providers. geom_linux_lvm currently supports linear
stripes with segments on one or more physical disks. The parser is able
to read LVM2 Text Format metadata, the logical volumes will be assembled
and made available under /dev/linux_lvm/. The metadata is read-only,
logical volumes cannot be allocated or resized.
