Support compile type configurable defaults for creation
of sparse volumes.
By default now create 'thin-pools' for sparse volumes.
Use the global/sparse_segtype_default to switch back to old
snapshots if needed.
Apply the same compile logic for newly introduces mirror/raid1 options.
Unlike with thin-pool - with cache we support all args also
directly when create cache volume.
So the result of 'separate' cache-pool creation and setting its
options should give same result as specifying those args
during cache creation.
Cache-pool values are used as defaults if the params are
not specified with cache creation.
Let the finaly state of zero & wipe_signature to be
resolved later together with all the types.
Don't play with zero assigment and segtype flag
(i.e. thin-pool -Z has different meaning).
Check if the passed options do allow requested zeroing/wiping.
lvcreate without -Z or -W will fallback to warning if the device
cannot be zeroed, however if user requested them explicitely
it will give user error.
Refactor lvcreate code.
Prefer to use arg_outside_list_is_set() so we get automatic 'white-list'
validation of supported options with different segment types.
Drop used lp->cache, lp->cache and use seg_is_cache(), seg_is_thin()
Draw clear border where is the last moment we could change create
segment type.
When segment type is given with --type - do not allow it to be changed
later.
Put together tests related to individual segment types.
Finish cache conversion at proper part of lv_manip code after
the vg_metadata are written - so we could correcly clean-up created
stripe LV for cache volume.
When we are given an existing LV name - it needs to be allowed
to pass in even restricted name as the LV could have existed
long before we introduced some new restriction on prefix/suffix.i
Fix the regression on name limits and drop restriction to be applied
on any existing LVs - only the new created LV names have to be
complient with current name restrictions.
FIXME: we are currently using restricted names incorrectly in few
other places - device_is_usable() skips restricted names,
and udev flags are also incorrectly set for restricted names
so these LVs are not getting links properly.
Move code to better locations.
Improve test and remove invalid ones
(i.e. no reason to require cache size to be >= then origin).
Correctly comment where the code is doing actual conversion
of other existing volume - we do already a similar thing with
external origins.
Lots of new command line options and combinations is now supported.
Hopefully older syntax still works as well.
lvcreate --cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache --cachepool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool vg/pool -l1
lvcreate --type cache-pool --name pool vg -l1
... and many many more ...
Over the time lvcreate code has accumulated various hacks.
So try to move that code in right places.
Detect all types early in _lvcreate_params() so functions like
_read_size_params() do not need to change volume types.
Also ultimately respect give volume --type, that its shortcut
(-T, H, -m, -s) and after that options which do type estimation.
(i.e. --cachepool, --thinpool)
Avoid repeative tests - if we know all types are decode at once
place we can 'optimize' number of validations.
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.
We are not using already defined segement type names where we could.
There is a lot of other places in device-mapper and LVM2 we have those
hardcoded so we should better finally have a common interface in
libdevmapper to avoid this.
Move common code for reading and processing
of --persistent arguments for lvcreate and lvchange
into lvmcmdline.
Reuse validate_major_minor() routine for validation.
Don't blindly activate LVs after change in cluster
and instead only local reactivation is supported.
(we have now many limited targets now).
Dropping 'sigint_caught()' handling, since
prompt() is resolving this case itself.
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.
Add poolmetadataspare option to get_pool_params.
Move all profile code into update_pool_params.
Move recalculate code into pool_manip.c
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
lvol0 -wi-a----
(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

(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_lv
LV Attr

Logical volume "thin_snap" created
[0] raw/~ # lvs -o name,attr vg/thin_snap

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.
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
If '--mirrors/-m' and '--stripes/-i' are used together when creating
a logical volume, mirrors-over-stripes is currently chosen. The user
can override this by using the '--type raid10' option on creation.
However, we want a place where we can set the default behavior to
'raid10' explicitly - similar to the "mirror" and "raid1" tunable,
mirror_segtype_default.
A follow-on patch should use this new setting to change the default
from "mirror" to "raid10", as this is the preferred segment type.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
Similar to the way the 'mirror', 'raid1' and 'raid10' segment types set
the number of mirrors to 2 ('-m 1') if the argument is not specified,
here we set the number of stripes to 2 if not given on the command line
when creating a RAID10 LV.
Target tells us its version, and we may allow different set of options
to be supported with different version of driver.
Idea is to provide individual feature flags and later be
able to query for them.
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.
This patch adds support for RAID10. It is not the default at this
stage. The user needs to specify '--type raid10' if they would like
RAID10 instead of stacked mirror over stripe.
Remove the limit for major and minor number arguments used while specifying
persistent numbers via -My --major <major> --minor <minor> option which
was set to 255 before. Follow the kernel limit instead which is 12 bits
for major and 20 bits for minor number (kernel >= 2.6 and LVM formats
that does not have FMT_RESTRICTED_LVIDS - so still keep the old limit
of 255 for lvm1 format).
One can use "lvcreate --aay" to have the newly created volume
activated or not activated based on the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
this way.
Note: -Z/--zero is not compatible with -aay, zeroing is not used in this case!
When using lvcreate -aay, a default warning message is also issued that zeroing
is not done.
We're refererring to 'activation' all over the code and we're talking
about 'LVs being activated' all the time so let's use 'activation/activate'
everywhere for clarity and consistency (still providing the old
'available' keyword as a synonym for backward compatibility with
existing environments).
Fix regression in man page. The chunk size is in kilobyte units on command line
input though in the source code we work with sector size unit
so make it clear in the man page.
Update chunksize for thin pool in man page - it's max value is 1024M == 1G.
Fix warning range message to show proper max value.
If the lvcreate may decide some automagical values for a user,
try to keep the pool metadata size into 128MB range for optimal
perfomance (as suggested by Joe).
So if the pool metadata size and chunk_size were not specified,
try to select such values they would fit into 128MB size.
Move the code for poolmetadatasize operation into one place.
Report override for minimum and maximum size.
Drop _read_thin_params function its error reporting is handled elsewhere.
If no size was give the later added minimal size check efectively
disable this code. Also the argument for size now must be kept
in sector_size, so adding division by SECTOR_SIZE (moved into
a const expression)
Read lvm.conf setting for monitoring for each command. So we should not
activate monitoring if the default compilation is set to monitor during
lvconvert commnads.
Patch also removes check for clustered VG and allows to disable monitoring
for clustered VG with the assumption, the problem with monitoring and dmeventd
flag passing for INGNORE is already fixed.
We want to keep this logic -
when LV is extend - extend the LV by at least given amount,
when LV is reduced - reduce the LV by at most given amount.
So for this the rounding needs to be used.
Current logic which seems to satisfy give rule is to round up all
extent values for LV resize upward except for values with '-' sign
that are round downward.
This patch also fixes the problem when lvextend --use-polices tried
to extend LV the by i.e. 20% - but the resulting 20% were smaller
the extent size thus before this patch no extension happened.
Since we finaly recognize thin creation only after
_determine_snapshot_type() - move _read_activation_params()
after it - so we can support lvcreate -an thin snapshot.
If you specify the segment type (e.g. --type mirror) and the mirrors argument
as zero, it would result in a mirrored LV with only one image. While the device
may be valid in theory, it should not be allowed in practice. It also makes it
difficult on the conversion tools, since they react badly to single-image
mirrors.
Move the free_vg() to vg.c and replace free_vg with release_vg
and make the _free_vg internal.
Patch is needed for sharing VG in vginfo cache so the release_vg function name
is a better fit here.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
When I see 'seg_is_mirrored', I expect the argument to be an lv_segment.
In this case, it is lvcreate_params. Both structures, have a 'segtype'
entry which the macro dereferences. However, it just seems easier to
understand if we do 'segtype_is_mirrored' instead.
Fixing some const warnings - with API change in:
int vg_extend(struct volume_group *vg, int pv_count, const char *const *pv_names,
Change is needed - as lvm2api expects const behaviour here.
So vg_extend() is doing local strdup for unescaping.
skip_dev_dir return const char* from const char* vg_name.
Rest of the patch is cleanup of related warnings.
Also using dm_report_filed_string() API change to simplify
casting in _string_disp and _lvname_disp.
