I have the recent lvm2 (2.02.104) and the unit files in |
| 47 |
/usr/lib/systemd/system are called |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
lvm2-lvmetad.service |
| 50 |
lvm2-lvmetad.socket |
| 51 |
lvm2-monitor.service |
| 52 |
lvm2-pvscan@.service |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I have *no* custom unit files for systemd or lvm (only homebrew unit is |
| 55 |
for my autobackup script). |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
A few weeks ago there was a confusion between /sbin and /usr/sbin for |
| 58 |
the lvm2 files (lvm, pvchange, etc). But that is working fine now. |
| 59 |
Indeed I use systemd with lvm2 and my lv's are all recognized and |
| 60 |
mounted automatically. |
