.SH "NAME"
drbd-lvchange@.service \- System unit to (de)activate backing LVM2 LVs for a specific DRBD resource
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.sp
\fBdrbd\-lvchange@\fR\fIRESNAME\fR\fB\&.service\fR

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.sp
If you try to start (configure) a DRBD using the \fBdrbd@\fR\fIRESNAME\fR\fB\&.service\fR, chances are that this fails because at the time its backing block devices are not (yet) available\&.
.sp
If you know those backing devices are LVM2 LVs, enable this optional service, to add an explicit dependency on those LVs and try to activate them first\&. It will also de\-activate them on stop\&.
.sp
systemctl enable drbd\-lvchange@RESNAME\&.service
