004cda1b64 Convey need for snapshot-merge target in lvconvert error message and man
page.

Add ->target_name to segtype_handler to allow a more specific target
name to be returned based on the state of the segment.

Result of trying to merge a snapshot using a kernel that doesn't have
the snapshot-merge target:

Before:
# lvconvert --merge vg/snap
  Can't expand LV lv: snapshot target support missing from kernel?
  Failed to suspend origin lv

After:
# lvconvert --merge vg/snap
  Can't process LV lv: snapshot-merge target support missing from kernel?
  Failed to suspend origin lv
  Unable to merge LV "snap" into it's origin.

493ad74331 Define vgmetadatacopies in vgchange man page.
This patch adds a vgmetadatacopies parameter for metadata balancing.
This parameter provides a simple way for users to create a policy for
placing metadata on PVs automatically by LVM.  The behavior is implemented
inside LVM by managing the 'ignore' mda bits.  We chose the name
'vgmetadatacopies' as this is a natural extension to the existing parameter
'pvmetadatacopies' / 'metadatacopies' in pvcreate.

This is a first step at VG parameter based metadata balancing.  Most users
will probably want to state that they want a certain number of PVs to contain
metadata, and they may be less concerned about a specific number of metadata
copies in the volume group.  However, for default values (pvmetadatacopies
is 1 by default), the number of metadatacopies in the volume group, and the
number of PVs with metadata are the same.  In the future we could add
vgmetadatacopiespvs to define more specifically the number of pvs in the
VG that contain metadata, but for now we start with this parameter.

Another possible future extension would be to define a specific pv tag
to mark the set of PVs that should be used for metadata balancing.  This
tag based approach could be used in conjunction with 'vgmetadatacopies'.

Patch is inspired by Debian's extra patch.

- removes OWNER & GROUP make vars they are parts of INSTALL command.
- adds INSTALL_PROGRAM for executable, uses $(INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_DATA for non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_WDATA for writable non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds configure option --enable-write_install - to support
  installatin of writable files used by distribution
- replaces usage of ifeq @LIB_SUFFIX@ with $(LIB_SUFFIX)
- installs .a files from static builds without executable flag
- installs .a files to $(usrlibdir) instead of $(libdir)
- installs all static binaries to $(staticdir)
- create .so links for devel package in $(usrlibdir) instead of
  $(libdir)
- makes .so and .so.LIB_VERSION files within builddir
- removes VERSIONED_SHLIB and created versioned LIB_SHARED automagicaly
- install LIB_SHARED via install_lib_shared target
- install plugins via install_lib_shared_plugin target
- prints whole 'install' command during installation instead of less
  informative "Installing  $(something) $(somewhere)"
- install multiple man pages with one INSTALL command
- use DISTCLEAN_TARGETS instead of creating multiple distclean targets

f3491d93a0 Use vpath instead of VPATH.
Usage of VPATH makes troubles when used within $(builddir).
Not only source files are being found through VPATH,
but targets as well. (make --debug=v)

Thus if user builds the code in $(srcdir) and also in some $(builddir)
he gets mangled results as some generated files (i.e. .export.sym)
are 'reused' from $(srcdir) instead of $(builddir).

This patch switches to use vpath were we could explicitly name
suffixes that should be looked via vpath - we must take care,
we do not generate files with these suffixes:
.c, .in, .po, .exported_symbols

3318c41356 Add ability to create mirrored logs for mirror LVs.
This check-in enables the 'mirrored' log type.  It can be specified
by using the '--mirrorlog' option as follows:
#> lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored -L 5G -n lv vg

I've also included a couple updates to the testsuite.  These updates
include tests for the new log type, and some fixes to some of the
*lvconvert* tests.

3e5a54a791 lvconvert --merge @tag support
Switch lvconvert's --merge code over to using process_each_lv().  Doing
so adds support for a single 'lvconvert --merge' to start merging
multiple LVs (which includes @tag expansion).

Add 'lvconvert --merge @tag' testing to test/t-snapshot-merge.sh

Adjust man/lvconvert.8.in to reflect these expanded capabilities.

The lvconvert.c implementation requires rereading the VG each iteration
of process_each_lv().  Otherwise a stale VG instance associated with
the LV passed to lvconvert_single_merge() would result in stale VG
metadata being written back out to disk.  This overwrote new metadata
that was written when a previous snapshot LV finished merging (via
lvconvert_poll).  This is only an issue when merging multiple LVs that
share the same VG (a single VG is typical for most LVM configurations on
system disks).

In the end this new support is very useful for performing a "system
rollback" that requires multiple snapshot LVs be merged to their
respective origin LV.

The yum-utils 'fs-snapshot' plugin tags all snapshot LVs that it creates
with a common 'snapshot_tag' that is unique to the yum transaction.
Rolling back a yum transaction, that created LVM snapshots with the tag
'yum_20100129133223', is as simple as:
  lvconvert --merge @yum_20100129133223
