LVMInit

This project was created to prepare disks for TopoLVM running in Talos Linux

Inspired by lvm-disk-watcher and csi-driver-lvm

lvminit is an LVM initialization and automation tool designed for Kubernetes clusters, supporting creation and destruction of LVM volume groups on block devices (including loop devices for test/dev use). It can be run as a DaemonSet and is fully testable with Kind and Bats for E2E scenarios, including resizing and destruction of LVM groups.

Features

• Automated LVM Initialization: Creates physical volumes and volume groups on specified block devices.
• Destruction Mode: Removes specified LVM volume groups and associated physical volumes when configured.
• Loop Device Support: Designed for use with loopback devices for local or CI-based testing.
• Resizing: Detects device size increases and grows PVs automatically.
• JSON Logging: Emits structured logs for better parsing/debugging.
• Comprehensive E2E Tests: Test lifecycle with Bats, Kind, and Helm integration.
