dmeventd

DMEVENTD(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       DMEVENTD(8)

NAME

       dmeventd - Device-mapper event daemon

SYNOPSIS

       dmeventd [-d [-d [-d]]] [-f] [-h] [-R] [-V] [-?]

DESCRIPTION

       dmeventd  is the event monitoring daemon for device-mapper devices.  Library plugins can register and carry out actions triggered when par-
       ticular events occur.

LVM PLUGINS

       Mirror Attempts to handle device failure automatically.	See lvm.conf(5).

       Raid   Attempts to handle device failure automatically.	See lvm.conf(5).

       Snapshot
	      Monitors how full a snapshot is becoming and emits a warning to syslog when it exceeds 80% full.	The warning is repeated when  85%,
	      90% and 95% of the snapshot is filled.  See lvm.conf(5).

       Thin   Monitors how full a thin pool is becoming and emits a warning to syslog when it exceeds 80% full.  The warning is repeated when 85%,
	      90% and 95% of the thin pool is filled.  See lvm.conf(5).

OPTIONS

       -d     Repeat from 1 to 3 times (-d, -dd, -ddd) to increase the detail of debug messages sent to syslog.  Each extra d adds more  debugging
	      information.

       -f     Don't fork, run in the foreground.

       -h, -? Show help information.

       -R     Replace  a running dmeventd instance. The running dmeventd must be version 2.02.77 or newer. The new dmeventd instance will obtain a
	      list of devices and events to monitor from the currently running daemon.

       -V     Show version of dmeventd.
