lvm_<tag>.conf.

3f0434057b config: Introduce lvmconfig.
'lvm dumpconfig' now does a lot more than just dumping configuration
information and is no longer only a support tool.  Users now need
to run it to find out about configuration information that has been
removed from the lvm.conf man page so we need to promote this to full
command line status as 'lvmconfig'.  Also accept 'lvm config' and mention
it in the usage information of lvmconf (which should also get merged in
eventually).

47ed4cdc35 config: remove duplication of settings
The specific config settings have been removed
from the lvm.conf(5) man page, and replaced with
a description of how to use lvm dumpconfig to
view the settings.

The sample lvm.conf and lvmlocal.conf files are now generated:

example.conf.base  - initial ungenerated part of the file
example.conf.gen   - generated portion from dumpconfig
example.conf.in    - combination of .base and .gen files
example.conf       - result of configure processing .in file

lvmlocal.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
lvmlocal.conf.gen  - generated portion from dumpconfig
lvmlocal.conf.in   - combination of .base and .gen files
lvmlocal.conf      - result of configure processing .in file

Do not edit the .in files, but edit config_settings.h
or the .base files, and then use 'make generate' to create
the new .in files.

- configure
  with options

- make
  creates tools/lvm

- make generate
  uses tools/lvm to create example.conf.in and lvmlocal.conf.in
  by combining .base files with dumpconfig output.

- configure
  with same options as above
  creates example.conf and lvmlocal.conf from .in files

17ab39f743 cache: include cache mode in vg metadata and display
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata.  If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".

The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.

438e0050df config: add silent mode
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.

When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]

Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.

2aabcc1c1c Add devices/data_alignment_detection to lvm.conf.
Adds 'data_alignment_detection' config option to the devices section of
lvm.conf.  If your kernel provides topology information in sysfs (linux
>= 2.6.31) for the Physical Volume, the start of data area will be
aligned on a multiple of the ’minimum_io_size’ or ’optimal_io_size’
exposed in sysfs.

minimum_io_size is used if optimal_io_size is undefined (0).  If both
md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are enabled the result
of data_alignment_detection is used.

8929ce6651 Add --dataalignment to pvcreate to specify alignment of data area. (mbroz)
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).
