fe6d782751 Update lvconvert manpage for snapshot --merge 2010-01-13 01:55:05 +00:00
Mike Snitzer
ab7ad3451d Report merging snapshot as 'S' instead of 's':
This is useful for when the snapshot is still active and merging hasn't
started yet; it shows a merge is pending.  Once merging starts the
merging snapshot will be hidden but can still be displayed with 'lvs -a'

Report snapshot origin with merging snapshot as 'O' instead of 'o':
Before merge starts this shows that a merge is pending.  While merging
the snapshot will be hidden, 'O' enables a user to see that there is a
snapshot merging.

d5a3de5a97 This patch adds the capability to split off a mirror legs.
It is pretty much the same as reducing the number of
mirror legs, but we just don't delete them afterwards.

The following command line interface is enforced:
  prompt> lvconvert --splitmirror <n> -n <name> <VG>/<LV>
where 'n' is the number of images to split off, and
where 'name' is the name of the newly split off logical volume.

If more than one leg is split off, a new mirror will be the
result.  The newly split off mirror will have a 'core' log.
Example:
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
  LV            Copy%  Devices
  lv            100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_1(0),lv_mimage_2(0),lv_mimage_3(0)
  [lv_mimage_0]        /dev/sdb1(0)
  [lv_mimage_1]        /dev/sdc1(0)
  [lv_mimage_2]        /dev/sdd1(0)
  [lv_mimage_3]        /dev/sde1(0)
  [lv_mlog]            /dev/sdi1(0)
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvconvert --splitmirrors 2 --name split vg/lv /dev/sd[ce]1
  Logical volume lv converted.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
  LV               Copy%  Devices
  lv               100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_2(0)
  [lv_mimage_0]           /dev/sdb1(0)
  [lv_mimage_2]           /dev/sdd1(0)
  [lv_mlog]               /dev/sdi1(0)
  split            100.00 split_mimage_0(0),split_mimage_1(0)
  [split_mimage_0]        /dev/sde1(0)
  [split_mimage_1]        /dev/sdc1(0)

It can be seen that '--splitmirror <n>' is exactly the same
as '--mirrors -<n>' (note the minus sign), except there is the
additional notion to keep the image being detached from the
mirror instead of just throwing it away.

9788b9d7a9 . update documentation for --poll in the vgchange and lvchange man pages

7a4fa925fc Add a [--poll {y|n}] flag to vgchange and lvchange to control whether
the background polldaemon is allowed to start.  It can be used
standalone or in conjunction with --refresh or --available y.

Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly
important for snapshot-merge of a root filesystem.

Dracut will be updated to activate all LVs with: --poll n

The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y

NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background
polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and
have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor
   initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s)
2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs
   if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y'

4257485ff2 Add --pvmetadatacopies as a synonym for --metadatacopies in various commands.
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis.  In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere.  We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies.  Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands).  The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.

Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.

Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches.  Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).

NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.

763d659ee2 Refactor vgsplit - reorder _vgsplit_from and _vgsplit_to based on flag.
Slight functional change.  If we open the destination first, we cannot
know the 'fmt'.  In this case we use the default metadata type unless
the user has specified -M on the cmdline.  If not, in most cases this
is fine since we use the LVM2 default metadata type.  However, if the
user is specifying a non-default metadata type (e.g. lvm1) and the order
of the names is such that we have to open the destination (vg_to) first,
we have a problem.  So in this case, we require the use of -M and vgsplit
will fail with an error if not.  I've updated the man page to recommend
the usage of -M in this case.

4422423315 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.

69da2ac0c7 Continue to make --units and --size consistent (in code and man pages):
Update units_to_bytes() to support (S)ectors: 500 bytes.
- 500 byte (S)ectors is of questionable value but it adds to consistency
  if a user happens to use --units S.  This seems better than an error.

Updated test/t-covercmd.sh to test --units [hS]

Document the units that can be displayed via --units uniformly.
- (p)etabytes and (e)xabytes were missing in pvs, vgs and lvs man pages.

0fad9eaee4 Cleanup pvs, vgs, and lvs "-o" section in man pages (rhbz 500861).
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500861
- Update list of fields/columns for each command (a few missing).
- Update list order to match "-o help" output (easier to verify field list)
- Add "{pv|vg|lv}_all" description.
- Move "-o help" sentence above column/field list.

New sample man page for lvs (pvs and vgs are similar):
       -o, --options
              Comma-separated ordered list of columns.  Precede the list  with  ’+’  to  append  to  the
              default selection of columns instead of replacing it.

              Use  -o  lv_all to select all logical volume columns, and -o seg_all to select all logical
              segment columns.

              Use -o help to view the full list of columns available.

              Column names  include:  lv_uuid,  lv_name,  lv_attr,  lv_major,  lv_minor,  lv_read_ahead,
              lv_kernel_major,  lv_kernel_minor,  lv_kernel_read_ahead, lv_size, seg_count, origin, ori-

              seg_tags, seg_pe_ranges, devices.

              With --segments, any "seg_" prefixes  are  optional;  otherwise  any  "lv_"  prefixes  are
              optional.  Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can also be chosen.

Buildsystem support device-mapper only install,
but generic install tagret includes both dm+lvm2.

For distribution which uses separate install_device-mapper,
there is no way how to install lvm2 only
(so after installing lvm2 for packaging purposes
built system must remove installed device-mapper files).

Fix it by allowing lvm2_install target, similarily like
install_cluster for clvmd.

(install = install_device-mapper + install_lvm2)
