device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible
VGs. Since vgimportdevices does not limit itself to devices in
an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.
The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary
purpose is to edit the devices file, but it will read PV headers
to find/check PVIDs. (It does not read, process or modify VG
metadata.)

lvmdevices --addpvid <pvid>
. Reads pv header of all devices to find <pvid>,
and if found adds devices file entry.
lvmdevices --delpvid <pvid>
. Removes devices file entry.
The vgimportclone command has a new option --importdevices
that does the equivalent of vgimportdevices with the cloned
devices that are being imported. The devices are "uncloned"
(new vgname and pvids) while at the same time adding the
devices to the devices file. This allows cloned PVs to be
imported without duplicate PVs ever appearing on the system.
The command option --devices <devnames> allows a specific
list of devices to be exposed to the lvm command, overriding
the devices file.

to find/check PVIDs. (It does not read, process or modify VG
metadata.)

. Reads pv header of all devices to find <pvid>,
and if found adds devices file entry.
lvmdevices --delpvid <pvid>
. Removes devices file entry.
The vgimportclone command has a new option --importdevices
that does the equivalent of vgimportdevices with the cloned
devices that are being imported. The devices are "uncloned"
(new vgname and pvids) while at the same time adding the
devices to the devices file. This allows cloned PVs to be
imported without duplicate PVs ever appearing on the system.
The command option --devices <devnames> allows a specific
list of devices to be exposed to the lvm command, overriding
the devices file.

device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible
VGs. Since vgimportdevices does not limit itself to devices in
an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.

Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where

comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the

device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system

1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID

need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices

the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible

Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.
The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary
purpose is to edit the devices file, but it will read PV headers
to find/check PVIDs. (It does not read, process or modify VG

and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible
VGs. Since vgimportdevices does not limit itself to devices in
an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.
The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary
purpose is to edit the devices file, but it will read PV headers
to find/check PVIDs. (It does not read, process or modify VG
metadata.)

The vgimportclone command has a new option --importdevices
that does the equivalent of vgimportdevices with the cloned
devices that are being imported. The devices are "uncloned"
(new vgname and pvids) while at the same time adding the
devices to the devices file. This allows cloned PVs to be
imported without duplicate PVs ever appearing on the system.
The command option --devices <devnames> allows a specific

device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.

device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible
VGs. Since vgimportdevices does not limit itself to devices in
an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.
The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary
purpose is to edit the devices file, but it will read PV headers
to find/check PVIDs. (It does not read, process or modify VG
metadata.)

device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible

an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.
The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary

filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system

The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary

device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible

device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.

lvmetad: two phase vg_update
Previously, a command sent lvmetad new VG metadata in vg_commit().
In vg_commit(), devices are suspended, so any memory allocation
done by the command while sending to lvmetad, or by lvmetad while
updating its cache could deadlock if memory reclaim was triggered.
Now lvmetad is updated in unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed.
The new method for updating VG metadata in lvmetad is in two phases:
1. In vg_write(), before devices are suspended, the command sends
lvmetad a short message ("set_vg_info") telling it what the new
VG seqno will be. lvmetad sees that the seqno is newer than
the seqno of its cached VG, so it sets the INVALID flag for the
cached VG. If sending the message to lvmetad fails, the command
fails before the metadata is committed and the change is not made.
If sending the message succeeds, vg_commit() is called.
2. In unlock_vg(), after devices are resumed, the command sends
lvmetad the standard vg_update message with the new metadata.
lvmetad sees that the seqno in the new metadata matches the
seqno it saved from set_vg_info, and knows it has the latest
copy, so it clears the INVALID flag for the cached VG.
If a command fails between 1 and 2 (after committing the VG on disk,
but before sending lvmetad the new metadata), the cached VG retains
the INVALID flag in lvmetad. A subsequent command will read the
cached VG from lvmetad, see the INVALID flag, ignore the cached
copy, read the VG from disk instead, update the lvmetad copy
with the latest copy from disk, (this clears the INVALID flag
in lvmetad), and use the correct VG metadata for the command.
(This INVALID mechanism already existed for use by lvmlockd.)

device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use. This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.
The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices. This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.
In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file. When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored. filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.
Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)
A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device. The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.
Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file. Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname. (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)
filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry. Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.
In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries. In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.
pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV. They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file. It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.
vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file. The command
is not limited by an existing devices file. The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids. vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible
VGs. Since vgimportdevices does not limit itself to devices in
an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs. Incomplete VGs are not imported.
The lvmdevices command manages the devices file. The primary
purpose is to edit the devices file, but it will read PV headers
to find/check PVIDs. (It does not read, process or modify VG
metadata.)
lvmdevices
. Displays devices file entries.
lvmdevices --check
. Checks devices file entries.
lvmdevices --update
. Updates devices file entries.
lvmdevices --adddev <devname>
. Adds devices_file entry (reads pv header).
lvmdevices --deldev <devname>
. Removes devices file entry.
lvmdevices --addpvid <pvid>
. Reads pv header of all devices to find <pvid>,
and if found adds devices file entry.
lvmdevices --delpvid <pvid>
. Removes devices file entry.
The vgimportclone command has a new option --importdevices
that does the equivalent of vgimportdevices with the cloned
devices that are being imported. The devices are "uncloned"
(new vgname and pvids) while at the same time adding the
devices to the devices file. This allows cloned PVs to be
imported without duplicate PVs ever appearing on the system.
The command option --devices <devnames> allows a specific
list of devices to be exposed to the lvm command, overriding
the devices file.
