[pve-devel] [PATCH Storage] LVM Striping

[Martin Lablans]

Dear all,

this patch will change the LVM storage plugin to create striped rather
than linear logical volumes, which can multiply the throughput for 
volume groups backed by several controllers or network paths.

The number of stripes is set equal to the number of physical volumes in 
the volume group (which is determined using vgs). If this number is 1 
(one), linear volumes are used as before.

This will affect only newly created containers. If existing containers 
are to be striped, they need to be re-created (e.g. via backup/restore).

This is my first time writing perl, so I'd appreciate a critical review 
of my code.

Kind regards,
Martin

   Newly created LVM volumes are now created with a number of stripes
     equal to the number of physical volumes in a volume group.
