Let's use the size of origin as the real base for percenta calculation,
and 'silenly' add needed metadata space for snapshot.
So now command 'lvcreate -s -l100%ORIGIN vg/lv' should always create a
snapshot to handle full device overwrite.
Expresing -lXX%LV is not valid for snapshot, but error message for
snapshost case was not complete and missed %ORIGIN.
Also document correct settings for in manpage properly where
it missed %PVS.
When read-only snapshot was created, tool was skipping header
initialization of cow device. If it happened device has been
already containing header from some previous snapshot, it's
been 'reused' for a newly created snapshot instead of being cleared.
Start to convert percentage size handling in lvresize to the new
standard. Note in the man pages that this code is incomplete.
Fix a regression in non-percentage allocation in my last check in.
This is what I am aiming for:
-l<extents>
-l<percent> LV/ORIGIN
sets or changes the LV size based on the specified quantity
of logical logical extents (that might be backed by
a higher number of physical extents)
-l<percent> PVS/VG/FREE
sets or changes the LV size so as to allocate or free the
desired quantity of physical extents (that might amount to a
lower number of logical extents for the LV concerned)
-l+50%FREE - Use up half the remaining free space in the VG when
carrying out this operation.
-l50%VG - After this operation, this LV should be using up half the
space in the VG.
-l200%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l+100%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l-50%LV - Reduce the logical size of this LV by half.
Test raid10 availability as a target feature (instead of doing
it in all the places where raid10 should be checked).
TODO: activation needs runtime validation - so metadata with raid10
are skipped from activation in user-friendly way in lvm2.
Several fixes for the recent changes that treat allocation percentages
as upper limits.
Improve messages to make it easier to see what is happening.
Fix some cases that failed with errors when they didn't need to.
Fix crashes when first_seg() returns NULL.
Remove a couple of log_errors that were actually debugging messages.
There are typically 2 functions for the more advanced segment types that
deal with parameters in lvcreate.c: _get_*_params() and _check_*_params().
(Not all segment types name their functions according to this scheme.)
The former function is responsible for reading parameters before the VG
has been read. The latter is for sanity checking and possibly setting
parameters after the VG has been read.
This patch adds a _check_raid_parameters() function that will determine
if the user has specified 'stripe' or 'mirror' parameters. If not, the
proper number is computed from the list of PVs the user has supplied or
the number that are available in the VG. Now that _check_raid_parameters()
is available, we move the check for proper number of stripes from
_get_* to _check_*.
This gives the user the ability to create RAID LVs as follows:
# 5-device RAID5, 4-data, 1-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 4')
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# 5-device RAID6, 3-data, 2-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 3')
~> lvcreate --type raid6 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# If 5 PVs in VG, 4-data, 1-parity RAID5
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg
Considerations:
This patch only affects RAID. It might also be useful to apply this to
the 'stripe' segment type. LVM RAID may include RAID0 at some point in
the future and the implicit stripes would apply there. It would be odd
to have RAID0 be able to auto-determine the stripe count while 'stripe'
could not.
The only draw-back of this patch that I can see is that there might be
less error checking. Rather than informing the user that they forgot
to supply an argument (e.g. '-i'), the value would be computed and it
may differ from what the user actually wanted. I don't see this as a
problem, because the user can check the device count after creation
and remove the LV if they have made an error.
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms. If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.
One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools. Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs. They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.
In preparation for other segment types that create and use "pools", we
s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/. This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".
Use common wipe_lv (former set_lv) fn to do zeroing as well as signature
wiping if needed. Provide new struct wipe_lv_params to define the
functionality.
Bind "lvcreate -W/--wipesignatures y" with proper wipe_lv call.
Also, add "yes" and "force" to lvcreate_params so it's possible
to apply them for the prompt: "WARNING: %s detected on %s. Wipe it? [y/n]".
When creating a new thin pool and there's no profile requested
via "lvcreate --profile ...", inherit any VG profile if it's attached.
Currently this applies to these settings:
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_zero
Three fixme's addressed in this commit:
1) lib/metadata/lv_manip.c:_calc_area_multiple() - this could be
safely changed to a comment explaining that currently because
RAID10 can only have a 2-way mirror, we don't need to know the
number of stripes. However, we will need to know that in the
future if RAID10 is to support more than 2-way mirroring.
2) lib/metadata/mirror.c:_delete_lv() - should have been calling
_activate_lv_like_model() with 'mirror_lv'. This is because
'mirror_lv' is the LV that the overall operation is being
performed on. We need to use this LV as the basis for
determining whether to activate locally, or across the
cluster, etc.
3) tools/lvcreate.c:_lvcreate_params() - Minor clean-up. If
'-m 0' is given, treat it as though the mirroring argument
was not given (i.e. as though the requested segment type
was 'stripe' and not mirror).
Add --poolmetadataspare option and creates and handles
pool metadata spare lv when thin pool is created.
With default setting 'y' it tries to ensure, spare has
at least the size of created LV.
Also add -k/--setactivationskip y/n and -K/--ignoreactivationskip
options to lvcreate.
The --setactivationskip y sets the flag in metadata for an LV to
skip the LV during activation. Also, the newly created LV is not
activated.
Thin snapsots have this flag set automatically if not specified
directly by the --setactivationskip y/n option.
The --ignoreactivationskip overrides the activation skip flag set
in metadata for an LV (just for the run of the command - the flag
is not changed in metadata!)
A few examples for the lvcreate with the new options:
(non-thin snap LV => skip flag not set in MDA + LV activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created
raw/~ $ lvs -o lv_name,attr vg/lvol0
LV Attr

(non-thin snap LV + -ky => skip flag set in MDA + LV not activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 -ky vg
Logical volume "lvol1" created

LV Attr

(non-thin snap LV + -ky + -K => skip flag set in MDA + LV activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 -ky -K vg
Logical volume "lvol2" created

(thin snap LV => skip flag set in MDA (default behaviour) + LV not activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -L100M -T vg/pool -V 1T -n thin_lv

raw/~ $ lvcreate -s vg/thin_lv -n thin_snap
Logical volume "thin_snap" created
raw/~ $ lvs -o name,attr vg

(thin snap LV + -K => skip flag set in MDA (default behaviour) + LV activated)
raw/~ $ lvcreate -s vg/thin_lv -n thin_snap -K
Logical volume "thin_snap" created
raw/~ $ lvs -o name,attr vg/thin_lv
LV Attr

(thins snap LV + -kn => no skip flag in MDA (default behaviour overridden) + LV activated)

These settins are customizable by profiles:
allocation/thin_pool_zero
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold
activation/thin_pool_autoextend_percent
Merge duplicate code that was validating lvcreate args
for creation of thin and snapshot.
Keep most of thin checks in _check_thin_parameters().
Update couple error messages.
This patch adds the ability to set the minimum and maximum I/O rate for
sync operations in RAID LVs. The options are available for 'lvcreate' and
'lvchange' and are as follows:
--minrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
--maxrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
The rate is specified in size/sec/device. If a suffix is not given,
kiB/sec/device is assumed. Setting the rate to 0 removes the preference.
This is just a temporary fix to support allocation of -l%FREE.
The number of free extent serves to calculate estimated metadata
size. This value is then substracted twice to keep some
free space for recover.
Keep the flag whether given thin pool argument has been given on command
line or it's been 'estimated'
Call of update_pool_params() must not change cmdline given args and
needs to know this info.
Since there is a need to move this update function into /lib, we cannot
use arg_count().
FIXME: we need some generic mechanism here.
