Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2019-e2ded8d7b4
2019-02-25 02:41:08.255862
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libblockdev
Product : Fedora 29
Version : 2.21
Release : 1.fc29
URL :
https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev
Summary : A library for low-level manipulation with block devices
Description :
The libblockdev is a C library with GObject introspection support that can be
used for doing low-level operations with block devices like setting up LVM,
BTRFS, LUKS or MD RAID. The library uses plugins (LVM, BTRFS,...) and serves as
a thin wrapper around its plugins' functionality. All the plugins, however, can
be used as standalone libraries. One of the core principles of libblockdev is
that it is stateless from the storage configuration's perspective (e.g. it has
no information about VGs when creating an LV).

Update Information:
New upstream version 2.21 Multiple bugfixes related to LUKS2, lvm-dbus and VDO
New subpackage libblockdev-tools with cli tools
