Enabling the ioDrive for LVM Use

The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume group management application handles mass storage devices like the ioDrive if you add the ioDrive as a supported type:

1. Locate and edit the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf configuration file.

2. Add an entry similar to the following to that file:

types = [ "fio", 16 ]

The parameter “16” represents the maximum number of partitions supported by the drive.
For the ioDrive, this can be any number from 1 upwards, with 16 as the recommended setting.

Do NOT set this parameter to 0.
