+.Sh NAME
+.Nm geom_linux_lvm
+.Nd "GEOM based Linux LVM logical volume mapping"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options GEOM_LINUX_LVM"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+geom_linux_lvm_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+framework provides support for mapping Linux LVM volumes to GEOM providers.
+.Nm
+currently supports linear stripes with segments on one or more physical disks.
+The parser is able to read LVM2 Text Format metadata, the logical volumes will
+be assembled and made available under
+.Pa /dev/linux_lvm/ .
+The metadata is read-only, logical volumes cannot be allocated or resized.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To view which
+.Nm
+devices are available:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# geom linux_lvm list
+Geom name: vg1
+Providers:
+1. Name: linux_lvm/vg1-home
+   Mediasize: 4294967296 (4.0G)
+   Sectorsize: 512
+   Mode: r0w0e0
+2. Name: linux_lvm/vg1-logs
