DESCRIPTION

The lsm module of storaged uses LibStorageMgmt[1] API to provides org.storaged.Storaged.Drive.LSM interface with RAID information for external(DAS or SAN) Linux disk drive. Please refer to storage interface document for detail.

Some storage system requires extra configuration in /etc/storaged/modules.conf.d/storaged_lsm.conf.
