# ansible-manage-lvm
Ansible role to manage LVM Groups/Logical Volumes.
> NOTE: Can be used to create, extend or resize LVM Groups and volumes.
## ⚠️ Important: Ansible Galaxy Role Name
**As of December 2025**, this role is available on Ansible Galaxy as:
```yaml
- src: mrlesmithjr.manage_lvm # Note: underscore, not hyphen
```
The previous role names (`mrlesmithjr.manage-lvm` and `mrlesmithjr.manage_lvm`) were
consolidated into a single role. If you were using `mrlesmithjr.manage-lvm`, please
update your `requirements.yml` to use `mrlesmithjr.manage_lvm`.
**Note:** This role is used by [OpenStack Kayobe](https://docs.openstack.org/kayobe/latest/)
for LVM management. The `manage_lvm` name was preserved to maintain compatibility.
### Historical Download Statistics
