Puppet LVM create volume maximum size

[Paul.S...@barcap.com]

Hello,

Using the LVM module/providers from the forge I want to create a logical volume at the maximum size and I cannot work out how to do this.

physical_volume -> volume_group -> logical_volume -> filesystem -> mount 

All works fine but you have to hard code the size for the logical volume. 

Anyone know if this is possible ?

Thanks

Paul

Nice one. I thought it was just my wrapper around it. The doc implies setting size to "undef", which I've never been able to get working:

• size

  The size of the logical volume. Set to undef to use all available space

That's what the documentation says but there's no code in the current git repo to make it work.  That patch adds support.  It's still not been merged sadly. :(
