Since striped name function knows when to report 'linear' instead of
'stripe' type name - drop it from this place.
This fixes problem when reporting segtype e.g. for thin-pool which
is also using area_count=1 to store thin data device reference.
It also returns properly strduped memory instead of badly casted const char*.
Since snapshot needs to suspend origin - it might lead to pool userspace
deadlock (as the pool will wait for new space in case it would be overfilled,
but dmeventd would not be able to resize it, as the lvcreate operation would
have kept the VG lock.)
To minimize the risk of such scenario - we prevent to create new snapshot
in case we are over the threshold - but beware, there is still small timewindow,
so keep threshold at some reasonable level!
New field Data% is able to display info about
thin_pool, thin, snapshot and has generic meaning here.
Simple Time/Host field are here to display host and time creation.
Basic support to keep info when the LV was created.
Host and time is stored into LV mda section.
FIXME: Current version doesn't support configurable string via lvm.conf
and used fixed version strftime "%Y-%m-%d %T %z".
Also, don't allow a splitmirror operation on a RAID LV that is already tracking
a split, unless the operation is to stop the tracking and complete the split.
Example:
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# Now tracking changes - image can be merged back or split-off for good
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 -n new_name vg/lv /dev/sdc1
# ^ Completes split ^
If a split is performed on a RAID that is tracking an already split image and
PVs are provided, we must ensure that
1) the already split LV is represented in the PVs
2) we are careful to split only the tracked image
RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.
example> lvconvert --replace <dev_to_remove> vg/lv [possible_replacement_PVs]
'--replace' can be specified more than once.
example> lvconvert --replace /dev/sdb1 --replace /dev/sdc1 vg/lv
Use static buffer instead of stack allocated buffer.
This reduces stack size usage of lvm tool and the
change is very simple.
Since the whole library is not thread safe - it should not
add any new problems - and if there will be some conversion
it's easy to convert this to use some preallocated buffer.
For write we do not need to hold memory locked.
This relaxes many conditions and avoid problems when allocating
a lot of memory for writting metadata buffers.
(In case of huge MDA size this would lead to mismatch between
locked and unlocked memory region size).
Add also internal check we are not writing in critical section.
Removal of an inactive origin removes also all related snapshots.
When we now support 'old' external snapshots with thin volumes,
removal of pool will not only drop all thin volumes, but as
a consequence also all snapshots - which might be seen a bit
unexpected for the user - so add a query to confirm such action.
lvremove -f will skip the prompt.
Update region_size only for mirror and raid targets.
This fixes warning messages when vg is using small
extent size like 1KiB and no mirror/raid is created,
but the user still got the message:
$> vgcreate -s 1K vg <pvs>
$> lvcreate -L10K vg
Using reduced mirror region size of 4 sectors
If the extent_size is smaller then the chunk_size we may try
to find better aligment (wasting less space).
i.e. using 4KB extent_size and 64KB chunk size will
lead to creation of 64KB aligned thin volume.
Support allocation of metadata from the same PV, if the VG
is build only from one PV.
As thinp is not mirror - we do not require 2 PVs
for basic thin usage as user is losing only perfomance.
Replace detach_pool_messages with update_pool_lv.
Move creation code from to 'if' condition into 1.
Ensure creation has finished all previous message operations.
