Usage

If you're using Berkshelf, just add this cookbook to your Berksfile:

cookbook 'lvm'

You can also install it from the community site:

knife cookbook site install lvm

Include the default recipe in your run list on a node, in a role, or in another recipe:

run_list(
  'recipe[lvm::default]'
)

Depend on lvm in any cookbook that uses its Resources/Providers:

# other_cookbook/metadata.rb
depends 'lvm'

Caveats

This cookbook depends on the di-ruby-lvm and di-ruby-lvm-attrib gems. The di-ruby-lvm-attrib gem in particular is a common cause of failures when using the providers. If you get a failure with an error message similar to

No such file or directory - /opt/chef/.../di-ruby-lvm-attrib-0.0.3/lib/lvm/attributes/2.02.86(2)/lvs.yaml

then you are running a version of lvm that the gems do not support. However, getting support added is usually pretty easy. Just follow the instructions on "Adding Attributes" in the di-ruby-lvm-attrib README.
