LVM2 design document
Quoted 8 lines · Kumar amit mehta
Hi,
I'm trying to learn LVM2 in detail, and for that I've cloned the git repo and have been going through the sources for sometime, but I've not made a significant progress so far, hence It would be very much helpful to me if you can please point me to the design document(if available) of LVM2, which gives a fair high level idea behind the design and the important data structures.
Thank you so much Alasdair for the pointers.

P.S.
By mistake I deleted the mail from Alasdair from my inbox, good that I do not have access to the mailing-list archives.

I suggest you begin with device-mapper:

I've gone through the device-mapper document and I've also joined the dm-devel mailing list. However on dm-devel mailing list, I see that the discussion/patches is mostly around userspace library or utility. I think all the device-mapper and friends code is under drivers/md/dm-* Can you please give me some more pointers/ideas to proceed further from here.
Thank you for your help.
