 NAME
mddb.cf - metadevice state database replica locations
 SYNOPSIS

/etc/lvm/mddb.cf


 DESCRIPTION

The /etc/lvm/mddb.cf file is created when the metadb(1M) command is
invoked. You should never directly edit this file.

The file /etc/lvm/mddb.cf is used by the metainit(1M) command to
find the locations of the metadevice state databases replicas. The metadb
command creates the file and updates it each time it is run. Similar
information is entered in the /kernel/drv/md.conf file.

Each metadevice state database replica has a unique entry in the
/etc/lvm/mddb.cf file. Each entry contains the driver and
minor unit numbers associated with the block physical device where a
replica is stored. Each entry also contains the block number of the master
block, which contains a list of all other blocks in the replica.

Entries in the /etc/lvm/mddb.cf file are of the form: driver_name
\|\|minor_t \|\|daddr_t \| \|checksum where driver_name and
minor_t represent the device number of the physical device storing this
replica. daddr_t is the disk block address. checksum is used to
make certain the entry has not been corrupted. A pound sign (#) introduces a
comment.
 EXAMPLES

Example 1 Sample File

The following example shows a mddb.cf file.

#metadevice database location file do not hand edit
#driver minor_t daddr_t device id checksum
sd 152 16 id1,sd@SSEAGATE_JDD288110MC9LH/a -2613


In the example above, the value for daddr_t indicates that the offset
from the start of a given partition is 16 disk blocks from the start of that
partition.
