LVM.DLL

This component is used by the Logical Volume Manager.

This library contains the Logical Volume Manager functions.

Newer LVM.DLL Forwarder

eComStation 2.x included a new LVM.DLL that forwards some of it's functions to IVM.DLL. It was reported that the newer "LVM.DLL forwarder" bypasses a couple of checks so that Bootable JFS and Air-BOOT can work seamlessly.

The newer "LVM.DLL forwarder" intercepts some functions like:

• The Start_Logging and Stop_Logging functions to enable merging its own log data with the LVM log (when LVM logging is turned on).
• It also wraps Open_LVM_Engine to save copies of any Windows NT disk signatures from the MBR, and wraps Commit_Changes to restore them back (except when an explicit newmbr operation was performed).
• It wraps Get_Volume_Information to always report compatibility volumes as Bootable if Air-Boot is installed.
• And similarly wraps Get_Valid_Options to report than a compatibility volume can be set as Installable if Air-Boot is installed.

Tip: Set the environment variable LVM_LOGWRAPPER=1, then run LVM with the /startlog parameter, the wrapper's own log will get added to the log generated by LVM.
