[linux-lvm] How to change default system dir

Hi,
I have a question for you, because what I need is to change in my
ubuntu(22.04) the localisation of default-system-dir from /etc/lvm to a
place where I have write access e.g. /home/my_user/new_lvm_dir. I've tried
so far to provide to ./configure option
--with-default-system-dir=/home/my_user/new_lvm_dir or later I replace
everywhere in code pattern /etc/lvm to /home/my_user/new_lvm_dir but
without any success. Are you able to give me any idea how I can do it ?

I tried it on main/stable branches git://sourceware.org/git/lvm2.git

Cheers,
Bartek

Hi


lvm2 basically always require a 'root' access for any 'real usable' lvm2 
command - so saying you don't have write access to /etc  looks very strange to 
start with.

We have also configure option  --with-confdir=[/etc]
but I still think you should start with explaining what are you actually 
trying to do - as maybe there is some design issue??

Assuming you are write protecting /etc for a reason, simply mv
everything in /etc/lvm to your new location and replace the lvm dir
with a lvm symbolic link to your location.

In the far past when booting with RO devices I had lots of links in
/etc/ pointing to files that were not on the read-only and/or
writable-but-lost-on-boot(overlay) device.
