The dataalign value must always be aligned according
to MDA area.
The currect code checks if calculated value collides with
MDA area but not if the value is so small that it is
located before MDA starts.
Unfortunatelly there can be also MDA in the end of the device.
The patch adds simple check to avoid this miscalculation.
Patch expects that first MDA always starts on <= pagesize boundary
(this is true for all allowed label sector parameters).
if rlocn not defined (there is no metadata area).
In most cases it fails in validate_name(),
unfortunately there are situatuions, when
validate_name is ok and later code fails with
checksum error.
Reproducer:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/loop0
# pvcreate --metadatasize 637k /dev/loop0
Physical volume "/dev/loop0" successfully created
# pvs /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: Checksum error

This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.
Intended behaviour of the code now:
pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.
In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.
Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).
Reports the size of the smallest metadata area in a PV or a VG.
Useful to confirm pvcreate --metadatasize or pvmetadatasize setting in
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf file.
NOTE: Actual value in these fields will most always differ from that
given in pvcreate options due to rounding and alignment effects.
Function _text_pv_write doesn't use memory pool but static buffer,
call dm_pool_free in error path in _raw_write_mda_header is wrong.
Move pool free only to path where is the memory pool used.
Failure to check for label_write() return code caused the following test
to indicate it passed when it really failed:
pvcreate rejects labelsector > 1000000000000
* lib/misc/lvm-file.c (lvm_fclose): New function.
* lib/misc/lvm-file.h (lvm_fclose): Declare it.
* lib/config/config.c (write_config_file): Use the new function to detect
and diagnose unlikely write failure.
* lib/filters/filter-persistent.c (persistent_filter_dump): Likewise.
* lib/format_text/archive.c (archive_vg): Likewise.
* lib/format_text/format-text.c (_vg_write_file): Likewise.
* lib/log/log.c (fin_log): Similar, but use dm_fclose directly.
Include "\n" at end of each fprintf format string.
Add --config for overriding most config file settings from cmdline.
Quote arguments when printing command line.
Remove linefeed from 'initialising logging' message.
Add 'Completed' debug message.
Don't attempt library exit after reloading config files.
Always compile with libdevmapper, even if device-mapper is disabled.
Fix some memory leaks in error paths found by coverity.
Use C99 struct initialisers.
Move DEFS into configure.h.
Clean-ups to remove miscellaneous compiler warnings.
[Some activation-related features will stop working for a while now.
Some types of activation are getting split into two steps, with the
first step using the precommitted metadata.]
Clear many compiler warnings (i386) & associated bugs - hopefully without
introducing too many new bugs:-) (Same exercise required for other archs.)
Default compilation has optimisation - or else use ./configure --enable-debug
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!
Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files. Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.
Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).
e.g. metadata {
dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}
Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
o Text format now has a description and time field at the top level.
o archiving and backup set the description appropriately. eg,
for an archive:
description = "Created *before* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
for a backup:
description = "Created *after* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
This is preparing the way for a simple vgcfgundo command.
