Add lvm.conf config/validate_metadata configurable setting.
Allows to disable validation of volume_group structure before
writing to disk.
Call of vg_validate() is supposed to catch any inconsistency
of in-memory volume group structure and possibly early aborting
commnand before making any more 'damage' in case the VG struct
is found insistent after some metadata manipulation.
This is almost always useful for devel - and also for normal user
as for small metadata size this doesn't add too much overhead.
However if the volume_group size is large and operations are just
adding removing simple LVs - this validation time may add noticable
to final command running time.
So if the user seeks the highest perfomance of command and does
not do any 'complex' metadata manipulation - it's reasonably safe
to disable validation (with the use of setting "none") here.
New config setting sanlock_align_size can be used to configure
the sanlock lease size that lvmlockd will use on 4K disks.
By default, lvmlockd and sanlock use 8MiB align_size (lease size)
on 4K disks, which supports up to 2000 hosts (and max host_id.)
This can be reduced to 1, 2 or 4 (in MiB), to reduce lease i/o.
The reduced sizes correspond to smaller max hosts/host_id:
1 MiB = 250 hosts
2 MiB = 500 hosts
4 MiB = 1000 hosts
8 MiB = 2000 hosts (default)
(Disks with 512 byte sectors always use 1MiB leases and support
2000 hosts/host_id, and are not affected by this.)
In cases user is sure he is not using his 'rootfs' or 'swap' on LVs
managed with his command - it possible to completely bypass pinning
process to RAM which may eventually slightly speedup command execution,
(however at the risk the process can be eventually delayed by swapping).
Basicaly use this only at your risk...
TODO: add some dmeventd support for this.
Older gcc doesn't really like complex types (buffer, struct) to be
initialized without extra {} around such type.
So pick any other 'single type' var from a struct and set it to 0,
rest will do the compiler without emitting a warning.
log/command_log_report config setting defaults to 1 now if json or json_std
output format is used (either by setting report/output_format config
setting or using --reportformat cmd line arg).
This means that if we use json/json_std output format, the command log
messages are then part of the json output too, not interleaved as
unstructured text mixed with the json output.
If log/command_log_report is set explicitly in the config, then we still
respect that, no matter what output format is used currently. In this
case, users can still separate and redirect the output by using
LVM_OUT_FD, LVM_ERR_FD and LVM_REPORT_FD so that the different types
do not interleave with the json/json_std output.
An OS installer can create system.devices for the system and
disks, but an OS image cannot create the system-specific
system.devices. The OS image can instead configure the
image so that lvm will create system.devices on first boot.
Image preparation steps to enable auto creation of system.devices:
- create empty file /etc/lvm/devices/auto-import-rootvg
- remove any existing /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices
- enable lvm-devices-import.path
- enable lvm-devices-import.service
On first boot of the prepared image:
- udev triggers vgchange -aay --autoactivation event <rootvg>
- vgchange activates LVs in the root VG
- vgchange finds the file /etc/lvm/devices/auto-import-rootvg,
and no /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, so it creates
/run/lvm/lvm-devices-import
- lvm-devices-import.path is run when /run/lvm/lvm-devices-import
appears, and triggers lvm-devices-import.service
- lvm-devices-import.service runs vgimportdevices --rootvg --auto
- vgimportdevices finds /etc/lvm/devices/auto-import-rootvg,
and no system.devices, so it creates system.devices containing
PVs in the root VG, and removes /etc/lvm/devices/auto-import-rootvg
and /run/lvm/lvm-devices-import
Run directly, vgimportdevices --rootvg (without --auto), will create
a new system.devices for the root VG, or will add devices for the
root VG to an existing system.devices.
Let's move proc into include/configure.h so this define can
be easily used across the source base.
Configure defines it - but ATM we do not provide any configure
option to change it - there should be no need to ever change it.
Add new configurable option for building lvm2 with enable/disable
default autoactivation setting.
Might be useful for building i.e. rpms for systems where
this event_activation is not desired.
Create backup copies of system.devices in /etc/lvm/devices/backup
named system.devices-YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.NNNN. NNNN is the version
counter from the file.
Each time that an lvm command writes a new system.devices file,
it also writes the same file in the backup directory.
A new comment line is added to system.devices with HASH=<num>
where <num> is a crc calculated from the uncommented lines in
system.devices. This lets lvm detect if the file has been
modified outside of lvm itself.
If system.devices is edited directly, the next time a command
reads the file, the crc will not match the HASH value. The
command will then rewrite system.devices with the correct HASH
value, and create a backup reflecting the edits.
A default limit of 50 backup files is kept, configurable by
lvm.conf devicesfile_backup_limit (set to 0 to disable backups.)
Since understanding the reason for choosing the appmachineid over the
direct use of machineid is not easily found, I extended to help text to
clarify this a bit.
Problematic scenario:
. the device for a PV has no wwid, so it's identified in system.devices
with IDTYPE=devname IDNAME=/dev/foo
. user adds/enables a wwid for the device
. on reboot, the device name changes, e.g. now /dev/bar
. the code that searches for the new device name includes an
optimization to skip looking on devs that have a wwid, on
the basis that a device with a wwid won't have IDTYPE=devname
. this optimization causes lvm to not look for the PV on /dev/bar
since that device now has a wwid, so the PV is not found
. the optimization is enabled by search_for_devnames="auto"
. change the default to search_for_devnames="all" which does not
use the problematic optimization
If the system changes, locate PVs that appear on different devices,
and update the device IDs in the devices file. A system change is
detected by saving the DMI product_uuid or hostname in the devices
file, and comparing it to the current system value. If a root PV
is restored or copied to a new system with different devices, then
the product_uuid or hostname should change, and trigger lvm to
locate PVIDs from system.devices on new devices.
Reuse existing report/headings config setting to make it possible to
change the type of headings to display:
0 - no headings
1 - column name abbreviations (default and original functionality)
2 - full column names (column names are equal to exact names that
-o|--options also accepts to set report output)
Also, add '--headings none|abbrev|full|0|1|2' command line option
so we are able to select the heading type for each LVM reporting
command directly.
This vdo parameter existed in the early stage of integration of vdo into lvm2,
but later it's been removed from vdoformat tool - so actually if
there would be any non-zero value it would cause error on lvcreate.
Option was not stored on disk in lvm2 metadata.
Remove this vdo parameter from lvm2 sources.
(Although this vdo parameter will be still accepted on cmdline through
--vdosettings option, but it will be ignored.)
The new device_id types are: wwid_naa, wwid_eui, wwid_t10.
The new types use the specific wwid type in their name.
lvm currently gets the values for these types by reading
the device's vpd_pg83 sysfs file (this could change in the
future if better methods become available for reading the
values.)
If a device is added to the devices file using one of these
types, prior versions of lvm will not recognize the types
and will be unable to use the devices.
When adding a new device, lvm continues to first use sys_wwid
from the sysfs wwid file. If the device has no sysfs wwid file,
lvm now attempts to use one of the new types from vpd_pg83.
If a devices file entry with type sys_wwid does not match a
given device's sysfs wwid file, the sys_wwid value will also
be compared to that device's other wwids from its vpd_pg83 file.
If the kernel changes the wwid type reported from the sysfs
wwid file, e.g. from a device's t10 id to its naa id, then lvm
should still be able to match it correctly using the vpd_pg83
data which will include both ids.
When we wanted to insert '#' before a config line (to comment it out),
we used dm_pool_strndup to temporarily copy the space prefix first so
we can assemble the final line with:
"<space_prefix># <key>=<value>":
out of original:
"<space_prefix><key>=<value>".
The space_prefix copy is not necessary, we can just use fprintf's
precision modifier "%.*s" to print the exact part if we alrady
know space_prefix length.
The new --valuesonly option causes the lvmconfig output to contain only
values without keys for each config node. This is practical mainly in
case where we use lvmconfig in scripts and we want to assign the value
to a different custom key or simply output the value itself without the
key.
For example:
# lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy
raid_fault_policy="warn"
# lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly
"warn"
# my_var=$(lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly)
# echo $my_var
"warn"
Keep single source for most of values printed in lvm.conf
(still needs some conversion)
Correct max for logical threads to 60
(we may refuse some older configuration which might eventually
user higher numbers - but so far let's assume no user have ever set this
as it's been non-trivial and if would complicate code unnecessarily.)
Accept maximum of 4PiB for virtual size of VDO LV
(lvm2 will drop 'header borders to 0 for this case').
When compiled and used with:
CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -g -O0"
ASAN_OPTIONS=strict_string_checks=1:detect_stack_use_after_return=1:check_initialization_order=1:strict_init_order=1
we have few reported issue - they where not normally spotted, since
we were still accessing our own memory - but ouf of buffer-range.
TODO: there is still something to enhance with handling of #orphan vgids
event based autoactivation is now the only method that lvm
provides for autoactivation.
Setting lvm.conf event_activation=0 can still be used to disable
event based autoactivation commands, but doing so will no longer
enable static autoactivation.
