Build with LVM?

[ameeno]

Hello, this tool would be great to live in EFI for resizing file systems offline.

(especially root)

However I am trying to build a version with lvm compatible as well as with lvm-utilities.

I cannot really build it yet and I am trying to build a version without downloading a 14GB vm.

Can you assist?

Sorry, it's been a while and I forget how it works :)

Ok, we need to add the dm-mod kernel module and the lvm2 package before building.

The installer script removes all the modules, can you build one with LVM2 compatible?

I do not think it will add many kiloBytes and would be great for doing Offline lvm2 mods.

Maybe you can ask @foxpdll for help.

@foxpdll can you please publish compiled file in Releases page?

@ameeno try this please https://github.com/foxpdll/OneFileLinux/releases/tag/v0.3.3

hello @foxpdll,

Thanks, I have tried this package with llvm2. Its an improvement, pvscan, lvscan and vgscan do present output.

However, it complains about device mapper. and modprobe dm-mod does not work, and no VG's can be mounted or modified or mapped.

I think the key missing piece is the dm-mod (Device Mapper) kernel module.

dm-mod is required according to this guide on alpine
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Setting_up_Logical_Volumes_with_LVM
how could I add it?
The build script appears to remove all modules when building. perhaps you know where to get the source code for Dm mod to install it at build time?

[foxpdll]

Hi @ameeno ,
yes you are right. i forgot include dm-mod
i will recompile and put it in release 0.3.3 in my repo

You can build dist by youself
Download my scripts - all folder FoxBuild
run 01 script 02 script 03 script
then go to linux sourses and make menuconfig
inclide all you need
go ..
run 04 script
in folder you will find compiledfile

build script remove all modules
but then it install them from compiled sources
you can make menuconfig and choose all you need
after compilling modules will be in /lib/modules

@foxpdll
Thanks for this, I will test and report back.

I have tried compiling myself but Ubuntu 20.04 does not allow me to build due to weird bugs.

I have tried using the vmware image and even converted it to qemu-kvm. but it compiles too slowly on my virtual machine,/laptop.

so thanks for all your help.

hello, there are some problems with it reading thin volumes, so still not good. but thanks for trying.
