lvm Cookbook
============
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/opscode-cookbooks/lvm.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/opscode-cookbooks/lvm)

Installs lvm2 package and includes resources for managing LVM. The default recipe simply installs LVM and the supporting Ruby gem. The cookbook includes providers for managing LVMs.

Usage
-----
If you're using [Berkshelf](http://berkshelf.com), just add this cookbook to your `Berksfile`:

```ruby
cookbook 'lvm'
```

You can also install it from the community site:

```ruby
knife cookbook site install lvm
```

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

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

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

```ruby
# other_cookbook/metadata.rb
depends 'lvm'
```


Caveats
-------
This cookbook depends on the [di-ruby-lvm](https://github.com/DrillingInfo/di-ruby-lvm) and [di-ruby-lvm-attrib](https://github.com/DrillingInfo/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

```text
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](https://github.com/DrillingInfo/di-ruby-lvm-attrib).


Development
-----------
This section details "quick development" steps. For a detailed explanation, see [[Contributing.md]].

1. Clone this repository from GitHub:

        $ git clone git@github.com:opscode-cookbooks/lvm.git

2. Create a git branch

        $ git checkout -b my_bug_fix

3. Install dependencies:

        $ bundle install

4. Make your changes/patches/fixes, committing appropiately
5. **Write tests**
6. Run the tests:
    - `bundle exec foodcritic -f any .`
    - `bundle exec rspec`
    - `bundle exec rubocop`
    - `bundle exec kitchen test`

  In detail:
    - Foodcritic will catch any Chef-specific style errors
    - RSpec will run the unit tests
    - Rubocop will check for Ruby-specific style errors
    - Test Kitchen will run and converge the recipes
