[Bug 1868129] [NEW] I can't attach a writecache to LV

Thu Mar 19 16:11:28 UTC 2020

Public bug reported:

#lvconvert --type writecache --cachesettings 'low_watermark=0 high_watermark=10 writeback_jobs=2048' --cachevol cache ssd/data
  WARNING: Unrecognised segment type writecache
  Invalid argument for --type: writecache
  Error during parsing of command line.

I see that lvm2 package was build without key --with-writecache=internal
