lv: description: - The name of the logical volume. type: str vg: description: - The volume group this logical volume is part of. required: true type: str pvs: description: - Comma separated list of physical volumes (e.g. /dev/sda,/dev/sdb). type: str opts: description: - Free-form options to be passed to the lvcreate command. type: str size: description: - The size of the logical volume, according to lvcreate(8) --size, by default in megabytes or optionally with one of [bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE] units; or according to lvcreate(8) --extents as a percentage of [VG|PVS|FREE]; Float values must begin with a digit. Resizing using percentage values was not supported prior to 2.1. type: str force: default: 'no' description: - Shrink or remove operations of volumes requires this switch. Ensures that that filesystems get never corrupted/destroyed by mistake. type: bool state: choices: - absent - present default: present description: - Control if the logical volume exists. If C(present) and the volume does not already exist then the C(size) option is required. type: str active: default: 'yes' description: - Whether the volume is active and visible to the host. type: bool shrink: default: 'yes' description: - Shrink if current size is higher than size requested. type: bool resizefs: default: 'no' description: - Resize the underlying filesystem together with the logical volume. - Supported for C(ext2), C(ext3), C(ext4), C(reiserfs) and C(XFS) filesystems. Attempts to resize other filesystem types will fail. type: bool snapshot: description: - The name of the snapshot volume type: str thinpool: description: - The thin pool volume name. When you want to create a thin provisioned volume, specify a thin pool volume name. type: str
