[Sblim-devel] FSVOL 0.9.5 released

[Heidi N. <HEI...@de...>]

Hi ,

the new release of the FSVOL instrumentation includes the
following three major changes / extensions :


* LVM1 support :

the access to LVM specific data was reworked ;

in earlier releases the /proc fs structure was used to
gather data ; this access method had a major
disadvantage ( e.g. can not get inactive VGs , PVs and
LVs ) which influenced the quality of FSVOL negatively

-> now the LVM1 API itself is access point to LVM data


* multi-version support :

the library loading mechanism was reworked in preparation
for a future multi-version support ( LVM2 is coming soon )

cimlvm.c acts now as layer between the CIM LVM provider
and the used LVM version ; cimlvm1.c uses the LVM1
API and offers the functionality to gather data


* debug support :

use the lvm_d option for debugging the lvm specific FSVOL
part




thanks ... heidi
