commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

#
# Syntax
#
# A new command has a unique combination of:
# command name, required option args and required
# positional args.
#
# To define a new command, begin a single line with a
# command name, followed by required options/args,
# (e.g. --foo, or --foo val), followed by required
# positional args, (e.g. VG)
#
# After the single line of required elements are lines
# of optional elements:
# OO: <optional --option args>
# OP: <optional positional args>
#
# command_name required_opt_arg ... required_pos_arg ...
# OO: optional_opt_arg, ...
# OP: optional_pos_arg ...
#
# required_opt_arg/optional_opt_arg must begin with the
# long form option name, e.g. --foo. If the option name
# takes a value, then the type of value is specified,
# e.g. --foo String.
#
# Possible option names are listed in args.h
#
# Use --foo_long to specify that only the long form of
# --foo is accepted by the command. (This is uncommon.)
#
# Possible option arg types are shown in tools/vals.h,
# e.g. Bool, String, VG, SizeMB.
#
# --option args outside the list of types in vals.h are treated
# as literal (non-variable) strings or numbers.
#
# positional args can be multiple types separated by |, e.g. VG|LV|Tag
#
# If a positional arg is repeatable, it is followed by ..., e.g. VG|LV|Tag ...
#
# LV can have a suffix indicating the LV type, e.g. LV_linear, LV_thinpool.
# LV_raid represents any raidN. LV_type1_type2_type3 when the LV is
# limited to multiple specific types.
#
# Note that two commands whose required paramters differ only by
# the LV types they accept are ambiguous. That is, they cannot be
# distinguished by just looking at the command, but require reading
# the VG to find the LV type. So, command definitions that differ
# only in accepted LV types are not allowed. It would be best to
# distinguish them by using different option names.
# There are FIXME's below for some of these cases.
#
# VG, LV can have the suffix _new, indicating the named VG or LV
# does not yet exist.
#
# If Select is included in pos_arg, it means that the pos_arg
# may be empty if the --select option is used.
#
# --size and --extents are interchangable, but only --size is used
# in these definitions to keep them simpler. --extents is
# automatically included and recognized as an alternative to --size.
#
# lvcreate generally requires a VG arg in position 1 and does not
# require the --name option (when --name is omitted, a name is
# generated). But, all commands of that form have a variant which
# is not defined here, but which is automatically recognized as
# being equivalent. That variant allows the required VG arg to
# be omitted when --name VG/LV is specified, or when the
# LVM_VG_NAME env var is set and --name LV is specified.
# The lvcreate variants with --name and without a VG arg are
# automatically recognized as an alternative to the defined
# command forms requiring the VG and no --name.
# Also, --thinpool VG/LV or --cachepool VG/LV can be used in
# place of --name to provide the VG name instead of pos 1.
#
# Note that one the most difficult aspect of these definitions is
# the variants of --thin / --type thin / --type thin-pool,
# --cache / --type cache / --type cache-pool.
# There are no consistent rules to follow and the behaviors are
# unpredictable; each possible variation and combination needs
# to be tested individually to see what it means.
#
# Some options have multiple names, but only one form of the name
# is used in these definitions. Synonyms will be recognized when
# matching a command to a command definition.
#
# used in definitions below (equivalent but not used in definitions)
# mirrorlog core (not corelog)
# resizeable (resizable or allocation)
# allocatable (allocation)
# activate (available)
# rebuild (raidrebuild)
# syncaction (raidsyncaction)
# writemostly (raidwritemostly)
# minrecoveryrate (raidminrecoveryrate)
# maxrecoveryrate (raidmaxrecoveryrate)
# writebehind (raidwritebehind)
# virtualsize (virtualoriginsize)

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.
2021-04-21 01:03:09 +03:00
# AUTOTYPE: <segtype>
# The cmd def implies the type. Optionally using --type foo
# is not wrong, but it's redundant. If --type is specified
# it is not used in matching a user command to the cmd def,
# but once a user cmd is matched to the cmd def, a specified
# type is compared to the AUTOTYPE to ensure they match.
# We avoid including --type foo in the OO list because doing
# so often makes the cmd def redundant with another cmd def
# that has --type foo in its required_options. We want a user
# command to only match a single cmd def.
# Usually, a user command with --type foo will match a cmd def
# that includes --type foo in its required_options.
#
# For lvcreate cmd defs, each should either include --type foo
# in required_options, or it should include AUTOTYPE foo
# (and not include --type in OO).

# For efficiency, sets of options can be defined and reused

#
# To define a common set of options:
# OO_NAME: --foo, --bar String
#
# To use this set of options, include it on the OO: line, e.g.
# OO: --example, OO_NAME
#
# which is expaneded to
# OO: --example, --foo, --bar String
#
# Including OO_NAME after a command name on the required line
# means that any one of the options is required and the rest
# are optional. The usage syntax for this case is printed as:
# command (--foo A, --bar B)

Rework lock-override options and locking_type settings The last commit related to this was incomplete: "Implement lock-override options without locking type" This is further reworking and reduction of the locking.[ch] layer which handled all clustering, but is now only used for file locking. The "locking types" that this layer implemented were removed previously, leaving only the standard file locking. (Some cluster-related artifacts remain to be cleared out later.) Command options to override or modify locking behavior are reimplemented here without using the locking types. Also, deprecated locking_type values are recognized, and implemented as if one of the equivalent override options was set. Options that override file locking are: . --nolocking disables all file locking. . --readonly grants read lock requests without actually taking a file lock, and refuses write lock requests. . --ignorelockingfailure tries to set up file locks and uses them normally if possible. When not possible, it behaves like --readonly, but allows activation. . --sysinit is the same as ignorelockingfailure. . global/metadata_read_only acquires actual read file locks, and refuses write lock requests. (Some of these options could probably be deprecated because they were added as workarounds to various locking_type behaviors that are now deprecated.) The locking_type setting now has one valid value: 1 which refers to standard file locking. Configs that contain deprecated values are recognized and still work in largely the same way: . 0 disabled all locking, now implemented like --nolocking is set. Allow the nolocking option in all commands. . 1 is the normal file locking setting and is unchanged. . 2 was for external locking which was not used, and reverts to normal file locking. . 3 was for cluster/clvm. This reverts to normal file locking, and prints messages about lvmlockd. . 4 was equivalent to readonly, now implemented like --readonly is set. . 5 disabled all locking, now implemented like --nolocking is set.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX.

Drop --ignoreskippedcluster option It's no longer needed. Clustered VGs are now handled in the same way as foreign VGs, and as shared VGs that can't be accessed: - A command processing all VGs sees a clustered VG, prints a message ("Skipping clustered VG foo."), skips it, and does not fail. - A command where the clustered VG is explicitly named on the command line, prints a message and fails. "Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)." The option is listed in the set of ignored options for the commands that previously accepted it. (Removing it entirely would cause commands/scripts to fail if they set it.)

commands: ignore partial option in most cases These days --partial is only used with activation in lvchange/vgchange. It probably had another meaning at some point in history which is no longer used, so ignore it in those cases. When included in the OO list, the option is advertised in help/man output, implying it is meaningful to the command, when in fact the command never uses it. The IO list means the option won't cause an error if it's used, but is not displayed as an valid option for the command. If the option is not included in either OO or IO lists, using the option would cause a command error, which would cause problems for anyone is using the option for historical reasons.

Add metadata-based autoactivation property for VG and LV The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs. --setautoactivation y|n enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV. Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows autoactivation. If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs. The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state. Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from the metadata. The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs in addition to the new property. If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated. An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV when the autoactivation property is disabled. To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific LV, multiple settings would need to be checked: the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property, the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto activation.

vgchange/lvchange: fix poll and monitor use Fill in some gaps where old versions of lvm allowed --poll and --monitor in combination with other operations, but those combinations had been lost since the cmd def work. (The new cmd def code also added some combinations that had been missed by the old code.) Changes: lvchange --activate: add poll and monitor options, and add calls to them in implementation. lvchange --refresh: add monitor option (poll already there), and call to monitor in implementation. lvchange <metadata ops>: add poll and monitor options, and add calls to them in implementation. vgchange <metadata ops>: add poll option (call to poll already in implementation). vgchange --refresh: remove monitor option (not used by code) lvchange --persistent y: add poll and monitor options, and add calls to them, and to activate in the implementation. (Making it match the main lvchange metadata command.) Summary of current usage: lvchange --activate: monitor, poll vgchange --activate: monitor, poll lvchange --refresh: monitor, poll vgchange --refresh: poll lvchange --monitor: ok lvchange --poll: ok lvchange --monitor --poll: ok vgchange --monitor: ok vgchange --poll: ok vgchange --monitor --poll: ok lvchange <metadata ops>: monitor, poll vgchange <metadata ops>: poll

Drop --ignoreskippedcluster option It's no longer needed. Clustered VGs are now handled in the same way as foreign VGs, and as shared VGs that can't be accessed: - A command processing all VGs sees a clustered VG, prints a message ("Skipping clustered VG foo."), skips it, and does not fail. - A command where the clustered VG is explicitly named on the command line, prints a message and fails. "Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)." The option is listed in the set of ignored options for the commands that previously accepted it. (Removing it entirely would cause commands/scripts to fail if they set it.)

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them.

DESC: Use to reset 'R' attribute on a not initially synchronized LV.
Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does not match the previously saved checksum. When used on raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading the block from another image, and the device user sees no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.) Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity: $ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created. Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.

Previously, locking_type=4 allowed activation. If we see locking_type 4 in an old config, translate it to the new combination of --readonly and --sysinit, which we now define to mean the --readonly behavior with an exception to allow activation.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command.

Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

lvconvert: thin errorwhenfull and recalculation When converting an existing LV to thin-pool, user may now pass also '--errorwhenfull' option like with 'lvcreate'.

Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it.

This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command.

These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it.

The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

ID: lvconvert_split_mirror_images
DESC: Split images from a raid1 or mirror LV and use them to create a new LV.
Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does not match the previously saved checksum. When used on raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading the block from another image, and the device user sees no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

DESC: Convert LV to a thin LV, using the original LV as an external origin.
RULE: all and lv_is_visible
Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does not match the previously saved checksum. When used on raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading the block from another image, and the device user sees no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.) Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity: $ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created. Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.

Use "cachevol" to refer to cache on a single LV and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object. The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV used for caching. This could be somewhat confusing, and it made it less clear when each kind would be used. By separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol should be used. Previously: - lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option. - lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed a standard LV in the --cachepool option. Now: - lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user uses the --cachepool option. - lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user uses the --cachevol option.

The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.) Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity: $ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created. Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ... ID: lvresize_by_size DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size. lvresize LV PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

Use "cachevol" to refer to cache on a single LV and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object. The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV used for caching. This could be somewhat confusing, and it made it less clear when each kind would be used. By separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol should be used. Previously: - lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option. - lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed a standard LV in the --cachepool option. Now: - lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user uses the --cachepool option. - lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user uses the --cachevol option.

Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.) Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity: $ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created. Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.

lvconvert: allow --cache shortcut for --type cache with cachevol
2019-09-23 19:07:12 +03:00
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX
Use "cachevol" to refer to cache on a single LV and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object. The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV used for caching. This could be somewhat confusing, and it made it less clear when each kind would be used. By separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol should be used. Previously: - lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option. - lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed a standard LV in the --cachepool option. Now: - lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user uses the --cachepool option. - lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user uses the --cachevol option.

# This command syntax has two different meanings depending on

#
# 1. When the LV arg is not a pool, this command converts
# the LV into a pool, optionally using a specified meta LV.
# This is an alternate form of the primary command:
# lvconvert --type thin-pool LV
#
# 2. When the LV is is already a pool and a meta LV is specified,
# the meta LV is swapped. Swapping a meta LV is a very specialized
# operation that users should never use.
# This is an alternate form of the primary command:
# lvconvert --swapmetadata --poolmetadata LV LV

# The command def cannot include --poolmetadata as a required

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does not match the previously saved checksum. When used on raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading the block from another image, and the device user sees no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.) Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity: $ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

# This command syntax has two different meanings depending on
# whether the LV pos arg is already a cache pool or not.
#
# 1. When the LV arg is not a pool, this command converts
# the LV into a pool, optionally using a specified meta LV.
# This is an alternate form of the primary command:
# lvconvert --type cache-pool LV
#
# 2. When the LV is is already a pool and a meta LV is specified,
# the meta LV is swapped. Swapping a meta LV is a very specialized
# operation that users should never use.
# This is an alternate form of the primary command:
# lvconvert --swapmetadata --poolmetadata LV LV
#
# The command def cannot include --poolmetadata as a required
# option, otherwise 1 would not pass, so the validation of
# this option cannot be done by the command defs, but has to
# be done ad hoc in the lvconvert implementation.
#
# This command syntax is deprecated, and the primary forms
# of creating a pool or swapping metadata should be used.

This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does not match the previously saved checksum. When used on raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading the block from another image, and the device user sees no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency.

writecache: use two step detach When detaching a writecache, use the cleaner setting by default to writeback data prior to suspending the lv to detach the writecache. This avoids potentially blocking for a long period with the device suspended. Detaching a writecache first sets the cleaner option, waits for a short period of time (less than a second), and checks if the writecache has quickly become clean. If so, the writecache is detached immediately. This optimizes the case where little writeback is needed. If the writecache does not quickly become clean, then the detach command leaves the writecache attached with the cleaner option set. This leaves the LV in the same state as if the user had set the cleaner option directly with lvchange --cachesettings cleaner=1 LV. After leaving the LV with the cleaner option set, the detach command will wait and watch the writeback progress, and will finally detach the writecache when the writeback is finished. The detach command does not need to wait during the writeback phase, and can be canceled, in which case the LV will remain with the writecache attached and the cleaner option set. When the user runs the detach command again it will complete the detach. To detach a writecache directly, without using the cleaner step (which has been the approach previously), add the option --cachesettings cleaner=0 to the detach command.

FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB OP: PV ... ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

commands: update definitions for thin creation Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command. Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command. Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

lvconvert: restrict command matching for no option variant The 'lvconvert LV' command def has caused multiple problems for command matching because it matches the required options of any lvconvert command. Any lvconvert with incorrect options ends up matching 'lvconvert LV', which then produces an error about incorrect options being used for 'lvconvert LV'. This prevents suggestions from nearest-command partial command matches. Add a special case for 'lvconvert LV' so that it won't be used as a partial match for a command that has options specified.

Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does not match the previously saved checksum. When used on raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading the block from another image, and the device user sees no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.) Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity: $ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created. Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.

Add metadata-based autoactivation property for VG and LV The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs. --setautoactivation y|n enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV. Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows autoactivation. If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs. The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state. Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from the metadata. The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs in addition to the new property. If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated. An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV when the autoactivation property is disabled. To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific LV, multiple settings would need to be checked: the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property, the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto activation.

Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: update definitions for thin creation Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command. Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command. Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together.

Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ... ID: lvresize_by_size DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size. lvresize LV PV ... OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB ID: lvresize_by_pv DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents. FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB OP: PV ... ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: fix lvcreate mirrors/stripes options Systematically outline every combination of: --type striped, --type mirror, --type raid, --mirrors, --stripes and make sure each is assigned to one specific cmd def. This revealed that a new command def is needed for lvcreate that uses both --mirrors and --stripes but no --type option. The use of LVCREATE_RAID shortcut for an option set resulted in mirrors/stripes being included in optional opts set when they were already in the required list.

lvcreate --type mirror --size SizeMB VG
commands: update definitions for thin creation Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command. Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command. Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: fix lvcreate mirrors/stripes options Systematically outline every combination of: --type striped, --type mirror, --type raid, --mirrors, --stripes and make sure each is assigned to one specific cmd def. This revealed that a new command def is needed for lvcreate that uses both --mirrors and --stripes but no --type option. The use of LVCREATE_RAID shortcut for an option set resulted in mirrors/stripes being included in optional opts set when they were already in the required list.

lvcreate --type raid --size SizeMB VG
commands: update definitions for thin creation Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command. Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command. Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

Allow dm-integrity to be used for raid images dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does not match the previously saved checksum. When used on raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading the block from another image, and the device user sees no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image. The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image. Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10): lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options] Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV: lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV Settings Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default) to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure crash consistency. Initialization When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that are already initialized. The progress of integrity initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.) Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity: $ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created. Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB. Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created. Logical volume "rr" created. $ lvs -a foo LV VG Attr LSize Origin Cpy%Sync rr foo rwi-a-r--- 1.00g 4.93 [rr_rimage_0] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_0_iorig] 41.02 [rr_rimage_0_imeta] foo ewi-ao---- 12.00m [rr_rimage_0_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g [rr_rimage_1] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_1_iorig] 39.45 [rr_rimage_1_imeta] foo ewi-ao---- 12.00m [rr_rimage_1_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g [rr_rmeta_0] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m [rr_rmeta_1] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m

Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together.

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

DESC: Create a thin pool.
commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: update definitions for thin creation Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command. Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command. Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do.

Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command.

This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX.

# stripes option is not intuitive when creating a thin LV,
# but here it applies to creating the new thin pool that
# is used for the thin LV
# FIXME: there are commands here that differ only in that
# one takes LV_new in arg pos 1, and the other takes a VG name
# in arg pos 1. The commands that take LV_new use that
# name as the new name of the pool, but the commands that
# take a VG automatically generate the LV name. The problem
# is that currently the command matching function cannot
# distinguish between an LV name and a VG name being used
# in arg pos 1, so a user-entered command would just match
# the first it finds and not necessarily the correct
# definition. Note that when LV_new is used in arg pos 1,
# it needs to include a VG name, i.e. VG/LV_new

Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

lvcreate: new cache or writecache lv with single command To create a new cache or writecache LV with a single command: lvcreate --type cache|writecache -n Name -L Size --cachedevice PVfast VG [PVslow ...] - A new main linear|striped LV is created as usual, using the specified -n Name and -L Size, and using the optionally specified PVslow devices. - Then, a new cachevol LV is created internally, using PVfast specified by the cachedevice option. - Then, the cachevol is attached to the main LV, converting the main LV to type cache|writecache. Include --cachesize Size to specify the size of cache|writecache to create from the specified --cachedevice PVs, otherwise the entire cachedevice PV is used. The --cachedevice option can be repeated to create the cache from multiple devices, or the cachedevice option can contain a tag name specifying a set of PVs to allocate the cache from. To create a new cache or writecache LV with a single command using an existing cachevol LV: lvcreate --type cache|writecache -n Name -L Size --cachevol LVfast VG [PVslow ...] - A new main linear|striped LV is created as usual, using the specified -n Name and -L Size, and using the optionally specified PVslow devices. - Then, the cachevol LVfast is attached to the main LV, converting the main LV to type cache|writecache. In cases where more advanced types (for the main LV or cachevol LV) are needed, they should be created independently and then combined with lvconvert. Example ------- user creates a new VG with one slow device and one fast device: $ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/fast1 user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 that uses all of /dev/fast1 as a writecache: $ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1 -n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1 Example ------- user creates a new VG with two slow devs and two fast devs: $ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2 /dev/fast1 /dev/fast2 user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 and /dev/slow2 that uses all of /dev/fast1 and /dev/fast2 as a writecache: $ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1 --cachedevice /dev/fast2 -n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2 Example ------- A user has several slow devices and several fast devices in their VG, the slow devs have tag @slow, the fast devs have tag @fast. user creates a new 8G main LV on the slow devs with a 2G writecache on the fast devs: $ lvcreate --type writecache -n main -L 8G --cachedevice @fast --cachesize 2G vg @slow

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

commands: update definitions for thin creation Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command. Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command. Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool. Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN. Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options. Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option so the options related to pools are better together. Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is handled through our configurable spare volume creation. Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.

Example ------- user creates a new VG with one slow device and one fast device: $ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/fast1 user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 that uses all of /dev/fast1 as a writecache: $ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1 -n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1 Example ------- user creates a new VG with two slow devs and two fast devs: $ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2 /dev/fast1 /dev/fast2 user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 and /dev/slow2 that uses all of /dev/fast1 and /dev/fast2 as a writecache: $ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1 --cachedevice /dev/fast2 -n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2 Example ------- A user has several slow devices and several fast devices in their VG, the slow devs have tag @slow, the fast devs have tag @fast. user creates a new 8G main LV on the slow devs with a 2G writecache on the fast devs: $ lvcreate --type writecache -n main -L 8G --cachedevice @fast --cachesize 2G vg @slow

# This command has two different meanings which ought to
# have separate command defs, but since the syntax is the
# same for both they have to share one command def with
# an ambiguous meaning. Which command is performed depends
# on whether the LV in the first arg position is a
# cachepool or not (we can't have two different command
# defs that differ only in the type of LV in the arg position
# because when parsing commands we don't know the LV type.)
#
# 1. An alternate form of lvcreate_and_attach_cachepool_v3
# this syntax: lvcreate --cache --size SizeMB LV_cachepool
# is alternative for: lvcreate --type cache --size SizeMB LV_cachepool
#
# 2. An alternative to using lvconvert to convert LV to type cache,
# but in this case the cachepool is created internally and
# then attached to the LV arg.
commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: use AUTOTYPE in definitions If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type in the required options, then include the implied type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type> instead of including the redundant --type foo in the OO list of options. Including an implied --type in the OO list would often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be identical when options were used, and a user command could match more than one cmd def. The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and help output as [ --type foo (implied) ] If a user command includes --type, it will usually match a cmd def with --type in the required options. But, if the user command matches a cmd def with AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must match. The man-generator program has a new --check option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs that are equivalent with the use of options, and should have their options adjusted.

In cases where more advanced types (for the main LV or cachevol LV) are needed, they should be created independently and then combined with lvconvert. Example ------- user creates a new VG with one slow device and one fast device: $ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/fast1 user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 that uses all of /dev/fast1 as a writecache: $ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1 -n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1 Example ------- user creates a new VG with two slow devs and two fast devs: $ vgcreate vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2 /dev/fast1 /dev/fast2 user creates a new 8G main LV on /dev/slow1 and /dev/slow2 that uses all of /dev/fast1 and /dev/fast2 as a writecache: $ lvcreate --type writecache --cachedevice /dev/fast1 --cachedevice /dev/fast2 -n main -L 8G vg /dev/slow1 /dev/slow2 Example ------- A user has several slow devices and several fast devices in their VG, the slow devs have tag @slow, the fast devs have tag @fast. user creates a new 8G main LV on the slow devs with a 2G writecache on the fast devs: $ lvcreate --type writecache -n main -L 8G --cachedevice @fast --cachesize 2G vg @slow

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

Drop --ignoreskippedcluster option It's no longer needed. Clustered VGs are now handled in the same way as foreign VGs, and as shared VGs that can't be accessed: - A command processing all VGs sees a clustered VG, prints a message ("Skipping clustered VG foo."), skips it, and does not fail. - A command where the clustered VG is explicitly named on the command line, prints a message and fails. "Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)." The option is listed in the set of ignored options for the commands that previously accepted it.

commands: ignore partial option in most cases These days --partial is only used with activation in lvchange/vgchange. It probably had another meaning at some point in history which is no longer used, so ignore it in those cases. When included in the OO list, the option is advertised in help/man output, implying it is meaningful to the command, when in fact the command never uses it. The IO list means the option won't cause an error if it's used, but is not displayed as an valid option for the command. If the option is not included in either OO or IO lists, using the option would cause a command error, which would cause problems for anyone is using the option for historical reasons.

device usage based on devices file The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use. The default file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8) command is used to add or remove device entries. If the file does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then lvm will not use a devices file. When the devices file is in use, the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf or on the command line are ignored. LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific IDs for virtual device types. These device IDs are also written in the VG metadata. When no hardware or virtual ID is available, lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID. When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot. When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file to locate PVs on renamed devices. A config setting search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for renamed devname entries. Related to the devices file, the new command option --devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for the command to use, overriding the devices file. The listed devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which devices lvm will see and use. Devices that are not listed will appear to be missing to the lvm command. Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g. system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application, and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are not exposed to the system. The option --devicesfile <filename> is used to select the devices file to use with the command. Without the option set, the default system devices file is used. Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file. An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices. The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs. vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file. LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default, and will look at all devices on the system. A devices file can be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices) If this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it. Internal implementaion: - device_ids_read - read the devices file . add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry - dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries . add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system - device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries . match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID . on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID - label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices . filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device . filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e. skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file . read lvm label from dev . filters are applied, those that use data from the device . read lvm metadata from dev . add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache") - device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID where devname changed . this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs, and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc. . detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry does not match the PVID found when the device was read above . undo incorrect match between du and dev above . search system devices for new location of PVID . update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices . label_scan the renamed devs - continue with command processing

The new --deviceidtype option allows the user to override the built in preference. This is useful if there's a problem with the default type, or if a secondary type is preferrable. If the specified deviceidtype does not produce a device ID, then lvm falls back to the preference it would otherwise use.

device usage based on devices file The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use. The default file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8) command is used to add or remove device entries. If the file does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then lvm will not use a devices file. When the devices file is in use, the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf or on the command line are ignored. LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific IDs for virtual device types. These device IDs are also written in the VG metadata. When no hardware or virtual ID is available, lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID. When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot. When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file to locate PVs on renamed devices. A config setting search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for renamed devname entries. Related to the devices file, the new command option --devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for the command to use, overriding the devices file. The listed devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which devices lvm will see and use. Devices that are not listed will appear to be missing to the lvm command. Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g. system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application, and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are not exposed to the system. The option --devicesfile <filename> is used to select the devices file to use with the command. Without the option set, the default system devices file is used. Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file. An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices. The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs. vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file. LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default, and will look at all devices on the system. A devices file can be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices) If this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it. Internal implementaion: - device_ids_read - read the devices file . add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry - dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries . add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system - device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries . match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID . on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID - label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices . filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device . filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e. skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file . read lvm label from dev . filters are applied, those that use data from the device . read lvm metadata from dev . add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache") - device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID where devname changed . this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs, and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc. . detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry does not match the PVID found when the device was read above . undo incorrect match between du and dev above . search system devices for new location of PVID . update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices . label_scan the renamed devs - continue with command processing

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

lvresize/lvextend: accept type option The --type option has previously been accepted for lvresize/lvextend. Using it did not affect the operation of the command. The value was simply verified as matching the current seg type of the LV.

# --type is an option in lvextend/lvresize only so that the specified type
# value can be checked to match the existing type; using it doesn't
# currently enable any different behavior.
lvcreate/lvresize: the --size option accepts signed values There was confusion in the code about whether or not the --size option accepted a sign. Make it consistent and clear that it does. This exposes a new problem in that an option can only accept one value type, e.g. --size can only accept a signed number, it cannot accept a positive or negative number for some commands and reject negative numbers for others. In practice, lvcreate accepts only positive --size values and lvresize accepts positive or negative --size values. There is currently no way to encode this difference. Until that is fixed, the man page output is hacked to avoid printing the [+|-] prefix for sizes in lvcreate.

commands: ignore partial option in most cases These days --partial is only used with activation in lvchange/vgchange. It probably had another meaning at some point in history which is no longer used, so ignore it in those cases. When included in the OO list, the option is advertised in help/man output, implying it is meaningful to the command, when in fact the command never uses it. The IO list means the option won't cause an error if it's used, but is not displayed as an valid option for the command. If the option is not included in either OO or IO lists, using the option would cause a command error, which would cause problems for anyone is using the option for historical reasons.

Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad. There should be no apparent command-level change in behavior.

"Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)." The option is listed in the set of ignored options for the commands that previously accepted it.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

pvck: repair headers and metadata To write a new/repaired pv_header and label_header: pvck --repairtype pv_header --file <file> <device> This uses the metadata input file to find the PV UUID, device size, and data offset. To write new/repaired metadata text and mda_header: pvck --repairtype metadata --file <file> <device> This requires a good pv_header which points to one or two metadata areas. Any metadata areas referenced by the pv_header are updated with the specified metadata and a new mda_header. "--settings mda_num=1|2" can be used to select one mda to repair. To combine all header and metadata repairs: pvck --repair --file <file> <device> It's best to use a raw metadata file as input, that was extracted from another PV in the same VG (or from another metadata area on the same PV.) pvck will also accept a metadata backup file, but that will produce metadata that is not identical to other metadata copies on other PVs and other areas. So, when using a backup file, consider using it to update metadata on all PVs/areas. To get a raw metadata file to use for the repair, see pvck --dump metadata|metadata_search. List all instances of metadata from the metadata area: pvck --dump metadata_search <device> Save one instance of metadata at the given offset to the specified file (this file can be used for repair): pvck --dump metadata_search --file <file> --settings "metadata_offset=<off>" <device>

pvck: dump headers and metadata Add 'pvck --dump headers' to print all the lvm ondisk structs. Also checks the values and prints any problems. The previous dump metadata is also converted to use these same routines, which do not depend on lvm fully scanning/reading/processing the headers and metadata on disk. This makes it useful to get data in cases where there is corruption that would otherwise prevent the normal functions from working.

Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.

Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition.

These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

Remove lvmetad Native disk scanning is now both reduced and async/parallel, which makes it comparable in performance (and often faster) when compared to lvm using lvmetad. Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad. There should be no apparent command-level change in behavior.

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes.

[check online files and report if VG is complete] . [check online files and report if LVs are complete] [--vgonline] can be used with --checkcomplete, to enable use of a vg online file. This results in only the first pvscan command to see the complete VG to report 'VG complete', and others will report 'VG finished'. This allows the caller to easily run a single activation of the VG. [--udevoutput] can be used with --cache --listvg --checkcomplete, to enable an output mode that prints LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE='vgname' that a udev rule can import, and prevents other output from the command (other output causes udev to ignore the command.) The list of complete LVs is meant to be passed to lvchange -aay, or the complete VG used with vgchange -aay. When --checkcomplete is used, lvm assumes that that the output will be used to trigger event-based autoactivation, so the pvscan does nothing if event_activation=0 and --checkcomplete is used.

This allows autoactivation of a VG to avoid scanning all devices, and only scan the devices used by the VG itself. The optimization is applied internally using the device hints interface. The new option "--autoactivation event" is given to pvscan and vgchange commands that are called by event activation. This informs the command that it is being used for event activation, so that it can apply checks and optimizations that are specific to event activation.

The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

commands: ignore partial option in most cases These days --partial is only used with activation in lvchange/vgchange. It probably had another meaning at some point in history which is no longer used, so ignore it in those cases. When included in the OO list, the option is advertised in help/man output, implying it is meaningful to the command, when in fact the command never uses it. The IO list means the option won't cause an error if it's used, but is not displayed as an valid option for the command. If the option is not included in either OO or IO lists, using the option would cause a command error, which would cause problems for anyone is using the option for historical reasons.

Add metadata-based autoactivation property for VG and LV The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs. --setautoactivation y|n enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV. Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows autoactivation. If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs. The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state. Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from the metadata. The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs in addition to the new property. If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated. An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV when the autoactivation property is disabled. To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific LV, multiple settings would need to be checked: the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property, the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto activation.

vgchange -aay: optimize device scan using pvs_online files Port the old pvscan -aay scanning optimization to vgchange -aay. The optimization uses pvs_online files created by pvscan --cache to derive a list of devices to use when activating a VG. This allows autoactivation of a VG to avoid scanning all devices, and only scan the devices used by the VG itself. The optimization is applied internally using the device hints interface. The new option "--autoactivation event" is given to pvscan and vgchange commands that are called by event activation. This informs the command that it is being used for event activation, so that it can apply checks and optimizations that are specific to event activation. Those include: - skipping the command if lvm.conf event_activation=0 - checking that a VG is complete before activating it - using pvs_online files to limit device scanning

ID: vgchange_lockstop
DESC: Stop the lockspace of a shared VG in lvmlockd.
vgchange: separate change locktype and allow recovery Add an independent command definition for "vgchange --locktype", and split the implementation out of the set of common metadata changes. It is unlike normal metadata changes, and can only be run by itself. (Changing the lock type is similar in principle to changing the VG name or the VG system ID; it effects the ability of any host to see or access the VG.) At some point this command lost the ability to forcibly change the lock type of a shared VG to "none" (making it a local VG). This can be necessary to repair shared VGs (e.g. recovery steps that occur in vg_read are disabled for shared VGs because they are not locked properly, or recovering sanlock locks when the PV holding them is lost.) "vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force VG" is used as the method of forcing the shared VG to become local so that it can be repaired.

Add metadata-based autoactivation property for VG and LV The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs. --setautoactivation y|n enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV. Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows autoactivation. If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs. The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state. Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from the metadata. The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs in addition to the new property. If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated. An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV when the autoactivation property is disabled. To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific LV, multiple settings would need to be checked: the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property, the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto activation.

Drop --ignoreskippedcluster option It's no longer needed. Clustered VGs are now handled in the same way as foreign VGs, and as shared VGs that can't be accessed: - A command processing all VGs sees a clustered VG, prints a message ("Skipping clustered VG foo."), skips it, and does not fail. - A command where the clustered VG is explicitly named on the command line, prints a message and fails. "Cannot access clustered VG foo, see lvmlockd(8)." The option is listed in the set of ignored options for the commands that previously accepted it. (Removing it entirely would cause commands/scripts to fail if they set it.)

device usage based on devices file The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use. The default file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8) command is used to add or remove device entries. If the file does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then lvm will not use a devices file. When the devices file is in use, the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf or on the command line are ignored. LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific IDs for virtual device types. These device IDs are also written in the VG metadata. When no hardware or virtual ID is available, lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID. When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot. When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file to locate PVs on renamed devices. A config setting search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for renamed devname entries. Related to the devices file, the new command option --devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for the command to use, overriding the devices file. The listed devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which devices lvm will see and use. Devices that are not listed will appear to be missing to the lvm command. Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g. system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application, and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are not exposed to the system. The option --devicesfile <filename> is used to select the devices file to use with the command. Without the option set, the default system devices file is used. Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file. An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices. The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs. vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file. LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default, and will look at all devices on the system. A devices file can be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices) If this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it. Internal implementaion: - device_ids_read - read the devices file . add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry - dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries . add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system - device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries . match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID . on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID - label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices . filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device . filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e. skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file . read lvm label from dev . filters are applied, those that use data from the device . read lvm metadata from dev . add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache") - device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID where devname changed . this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs, and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc. . detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry does not match the PVID found when the device was read above . undo incorrect match between du and dev above . search system devices for new location of PVID . update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices . label_scan the renamed devs - continue with command processing

commands: new method for defining commands . Define a prototype for every lvm command. . Match every user command with one definition. . Generate help text and man pages from them. The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique combination of: command name + required option args + required positional args. Each of these prototypes also includes the optional option args and optional positional args that the command will accept, a description, and a unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command will match one of the prototypes. Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands: lvresize --size SizeMB LV OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force, --nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB OP: PV ...

ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size. The three commands have separate definitions because they have different required parameters. Required parameters are specified on the first line of the definition. Optional options are listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP. This data is used to generate corresponding command definition structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions. Every user-entered command is compared against the set of command structures, and matched with one. An error is reported if an entered command does not have the required parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display the usage for each possible lvresize command. The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes required --option and positional args on the first line, and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ] on subsequent lines. command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args> [ <optional_opt_args> ] [ <optional_pos_args> ] Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be printed in the normal help output. Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original command definitions, and are always in sync with the code and help text. Very early in command execution, a matching command definition is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout the code. Each command definition can also be routed to a specific function to implement it. The function is associated with an enum value for the command definition (generated from the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation functions have not yet been created, so all commands currently fall back to the existing per-command-name implementation functions. Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of code to be removed which tries to figure out what the command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc and complicated option analysis. When using the new functions, what the command is doing is already known from the associated command definition.

Remove lvmetad Native disk scanning is now both reduced and async/parallel, which makes it comparable in performance (and often faster) when compared to lvm using lvmetad. Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad. There should be no apparent command-level change in behavior.

OO: --ignorelockingfailure, --mknodes, --notifydbus,
commands: ignore partial option in most cases These days --partial is only used with activation in lvchange/vgchange. It probably had another meaning at some point in history which is no longer used, so ignore it in those cases. When included in the OO list, the option is advertised in help/man output, implying it is meaningful to the command, when in fact the command never uses it. The IO list means the option won't cause an error if it's used, but is not displayed as an valid option for the command. If the option is not included in either OO or IO lists, using the option would cause a command error, which would cause problems for anyone is using the option for historical reasons.
