pvcreate detects MD and swap signature.
The logic hidden there is not only documented but it is also
user unfriendly. Who invented this logic should run pvcreate
on its own critical MD device to see why;-)
This patch
- creates one function instead of duplication code
- asks if user want to overwrite signature
- allows aborting (!)
(Please note that writing LVM signatute without wiping old
is wrong, it confuses blkid, MD will not work anyway and
swap and LUKS is broken too.)
The lvm repair issues I believe are the superficial symptoms of this
bug - there are worse issues that are not as clearly seen. From my
inline comments:
* If the mirror was successfully recovered, we want to always
* force every machine to write to all devices - otherwise,
* corruption will occur. Here's how:
* Node1 suffers a failure and marks a region out-of-sync
* Node2 attempts a write, gets by is_remote_recovering,
* and queries the sync status of the region - finding
* it out-of-sync.
* Node2 thinks the write should be a nosync write, but it
* hasn't suffered the drive failure that Node1 has yet.
* It then issues a generic_make_request directly to
* the primary image only - which is exactly the device
* that has suffered the failure.
* Node2 suffers a lost write - which completely bypasses the
* mirror layer because it had gone through generic_m_r.
* The file system will likely explode at this point due to
* I/O errors. If it wasn't the primary that failed, it is
* easily possible in this case to issue writes to just one
* of the remaining images - also leaving the mirror inconsistent.
*
* We let in_sync() return 1 in a cluster regardless of what is
* in the bitmap once recovery has successfully completed on a
* mirror. This ensures the mirroring code will continue to
* attempt to write to all mirror images. The worst that can
* happen for reads is that additional read attempts may be
* taken.
Ignore snapshots when performing mirror recovery beneath an origin.
Pass LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY flag around cluster.
Add suspend_lv_origin and resume_lv_origin using LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY.
DM devices were not handled properly on nodes in a cluster that were not
where the splitmirrors command was issued. This was happening because
suspend_lv/resume_lv were being used in a place where activate_lv should
have been used.
When the suspend/resume are issued on (effectively) new LVs, their
'resource' (UUID) is not located in the lv_hash. Thus, both operations
turn into no-ops. You can see this from the output of clvmd from one
of the remote nodes:
<snip>
do_suspend_lv, lock not already held
<snip>
do_resume_lv, lock not already held
'activate_lv' enjoins the other nodes in the cluster to process the lock
and activate the new LV. clvmd output from remote node as follows:
do_lock_lv: resource 'zMseY7CBuO3Ty09vXlplPAHzD0Y0CovjrTdv0R1VcwggMwPdYhutHErRcwm5Nd2S', cmd = 0x19 LCK_LV_ACTIVATE (READ|LV|NONBLOCK), flags = 0x84 (DMEVENTD_MONITOR ), memlock = 1

clvmd daemon itself does the right thing when invoked as non-root, by
returning 4.
The patch removes the use daemon function from
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions that´s unnecessary and has th bad habit to
mask the return codes from the real daemon.
Add a simple and generic check to see if clvmd is executed by root or not.
Our stop/reload/restart paths in the init script are complex and not all
the tools involved in the process are guaranteed to return 4 if executed
by non-root against a process that´s running as root (for example kill
-TERM will return -1 and parsing the output to catch the error is
suboptimal at best).

The new standard in the storage industry is to default alignment of data
areas to 1MB. fdisk, parted, and mdadm have all been updated to this
default.
Update LVM to align the PV's data area start (pe_start) to 1MB. This
provides a more useful default than the previous default of 64K (which
generally ended up being a 192K pe_start once the first metadata area
was created).
Before this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 188.00k 192.00k
After this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 1020.00k 1.00m
The heuristic for setting the default alignment for LVM data areas is:
- If the default value (1MB) is a multiple of the detected alignment
then just use the default.
- Otherwise, use the detected value.
In practice this means we'll almost always use 1MB -- that is unless:
- the alignment was explicitly specified with --dataalignment
- or MD's full stripe width, or the {minimum,optimal}_io_size exceeds
1MB
- or the specified/detected value is not a power-of-2
Introduce --norestorefile to allow user to override the new requirement.
This can also be overridden with "devices/require_restorefile_with_uuid"
in lvm.conf -- however the default is 1.

We can already detect MD devices internally. But when using MD partitions,
these have "block extended major" (blkext) assigned (259). Blkext major
is also used in general, so we need to check whether the original device
is an MD device actually.
An incorrect fix on July 13, 2010 for an annoyance has caused a regression.
The offending check-in was part of the 2.02.71 release of LVM. That
check-in caused any PVs specified on the command line to be ignored when
performing a mirror split.
This patch reverses the aforementioned check-in (solving the regressions)
and posits a new solution to the list reversal problem. The original
problem was that we would always take the lowest mimage LVs from a mirror
when performing a split, but what we really want is to take the highest
mimage LVs. This patch accomplishes that by working through the list in
reverse order - choosing the higher numbered mimages first. (This also
reduces the amount of processing necessary.)

corruption bug in cmirror. 'dm_bit' is only ever used as a boolean operation
within LVM, but it can return a range of values. If the bit is set, a power of
2 is returned. If the bit is unset, 0 is returned.
'log_test_bit' (a function in the cluster mirror log daemon code) has switched
to using the dm bit operations in rhel6. There are two places in the daemon
code where 'log_test_bit' is not used merely as a boolean, but rather the
return value is used as the return value for the log functions 'is_clean' and
'in_sync' - having assumed that 'dm_bit' was returning 0 or 1 only.
One place the 'in_sync' function is utilized is in 'dm_rh_get_state' - a
function that informs the mirroring code how to treat I/O and which devices to
read/write from. 'dm_rh_get_state' was checking if the return value of
'in_sync' was 1 to determine if the region was DM_RH_CLEAN. Since 'dm_bit'
(and by extension 'log_test_bit' and 'in_sync') was returning powers of 2,
DM_RH_CLEAN was rarely being reported as it should have been. Thinking the
region was out-of-sync, the mirroring code would write only to the primary
device. When the primary device was failed, all of those writes were lost -
leaving the entire mirror corrupted.

To handle a double failure of a mirrored log, Jon's two patches are

when mirror leg and mirrored log got failure at the same time.

[Patch]: Handle both devices of a mirrored log failing (bug 607347) -
additional fix

In the second patch, the target type of mirrored log is replaced with
error target when remove_log is set to 1, but this procedure should be
also used in other cases such as the number of mirror leg is 1. This
patch relocates the procedure to the main path.
In addition, I added following three changes.
- Removed tmp_orphan_lvs handling procedure
It seems that _delete_lv() can handle detached_log_lv properly
without adding mirror legs in mirrored log to tmp_orphan_lvs.
Therefore, I removed the procedure.
- Removed vg_write()/vg_commit()
Metadata is saved by vg_write()/vg_commit() just after detached_log_lv
is handled. Therefore, I removed vg_write()/vg_commit().
- With Jon's second patch, we think that we don't have to call
remove_mirror_log() in _lv_update_mirrored_log() because will be
handled remove_mirror_images() in _lvconvert_mirrors_repaire().

The cluster log daemon (cmirrord) is not multi-threaded and
can handle only one request at a time. When a log is stacked
on top of a mirror (which itself contains a 'core' log), it
creates a situation that cannot be solved without threading.
When the top level mirror issues a "resume", the log daemon
attempts to read from the log device to retrieve the log
state. However, the log is a mirror which, before issuing
the read, attempts to determine the 'sync' status of the
region of the mirror which is to be read. This sync status
request cannot be completed by the daemon because it is
blocked on a read I/O to the very mirror requesting the
sync status.
With mirror_log_fault_policy of 'remove' and mirror_image_fault_policy
of 'allocate', the log type of the mirror volume is converted from
'disk' or 'mirrored' to 'core' when all mirror legs but one in a mirror
volume broke.
Keep new_log_count as a number of valid log devices by using log_count
variable for a temporary usage in the first phase of error recovery
in _lvconvert_mirrors_repair().

mirrors, we must also check that the log daemon (cmirrord) is running.
The log module can be auto-loaded, but the daemon cannot be
"auto-started". Failing to check for the daemon produces cryptic
messages that customers have a hard time deciphering. (The system
messages do report that the log daemon is not running, but people
don't seem to find this message easily.)
Here are examples of what is printed when the module is available,
but the log daemon has not been started.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvcreate -m1 -l1 -n lv vg
Shared cluster mirrors are not available.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvcreate -m1 -l1 -n lv vg -v
Setting logging type to disk

Creating logical volume lv
Executing: /sbin/modprobe dm-log-userspace
Cluster mirror log daemon is not running
Shared cluster mirrors are not available.
Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/vg" (seqno 4).
The main problem with these bugs was that the newly split
off LV was not being suspended properly. This meant that
the memlock count was not being balanced, the DM devices
were not being renamed, and some DM devices which should
have been removed were not.
I've also renamed some of the variables and added comments
to make things clearer as to what is going on. (I can break
this patch in two if it means easier review.)
Switch dmeventd to use dm_create_lockfile and drop duplicate code.
Allow clvmd pidfile to be configurable.
Switch cmirrord and clvmd to use dm_create_lockfile.
This should bring less confusion when there are some settings left and
people just forgot about it and then they run into problems. These messages
should give them a hint of what's really going on.
