            Bug ID: 1603220
           Summary: glusterfs-server depends on deprecated liblvm2app
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: mainline
         Component: core
          Assignee: bugs at gluster.org
          Reporter: mcsontos at redhat.com
                CC: bugs at gluster.org



liblvm2app was deprecated in RHEL-7, and support will be dropped in next major
release. glusterfs-server(not sure what component that is) depends on the
library.

Alternatives to the deprecated functionality:

*lvmdbusd*
- requires Python3 and D-Bus - so is not available during early boot,
- lacking in documentation, so a TODO on our plate.

*using CLI directly*
- for querying lvs/pvs/vgs there is now JSON formatted output,

*libblockdev*
- used by anaconda, using either CLI or D-Bus daemon backend - IMO for C
programs this may be the best alternative - it is already entrenched in Fedora
and next RHEL versions, and is actively maintained.
