33 The <application>LVM2</application> package is a set of tools that manage
34 logical partitions. It allows spanning of file systems across multiple
35 physical disks and disk partitions and provides for dynamic growing or

101 Kernel versions between 4.1 and 4.4.1 have a broken RAID
102 implementation. If you want to use RAID type LV's, you should install
103 kernel version 4.4.2 or above. Note that several tests use RAID logical
104 volumes, and can generate a <quote>kernel oops</quote> with the faulty
105 kernel version, which usually renders the system unusable.

173 The tests use <application>udev</application> for logical volume
174 synchronization, so that the LVM udev rules and some utilities need to
175 be installed before running the tests. If you are installing
176 <application>LVM2</application> for the first time, and do not
177 want to install the full package before running the tests, the minimal
178 set of utilities can be installed by running the following instructions
179 as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

188 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user. Other targets are
189 available and can be listed with <command>make -C test help</command>.
190 The test timings are very dependent on the speed of the disk(s), and on
191 the number of enabled kernel options.

198 <para>
199 The tests do not implement the <quote>expected fail</quote> possibility,
200 and a small number of test failures is expected by upstream. More
201 failures may happen because some kernel options are missing. For example,
202 the lack of the <emphasis>dm-delay</emphasis> device mapper target may
203 explain some failures. Some tests are flagged
204 <quote>warned</quote> if
205 <ulink url='https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools'>

220 Some tests may hang with kernel versions in the 4.1 and 4.2 series (see
221 above). They can be removed if necessary, for example: <command>rm
222 test/shell/lvcreate-large-raid.sh</command>. The tests generate a lot
223 of kernel messages, which may clutter your terminal. You can disable them
224 by issuing <command>dmesg -D</command> before running the tests (do not
225 forget to issue <command>dmesg -E</command> when tests are done).
