To write a new/repaired pv_header and label_header:
pvck --repairtype pv_header --file <file> <device>
This uses the metadata input file to find the PV UUID,
device size, and data offset.
To write new/repaired metadata text and mda_header:
pvck --repairtype metadata --file <file> <device>
This requires a good pv_header which points to one or two
metadata areas. Any metadata areas referenced by the
pv_header are updated with the specified metadata and
a new mda_header. "--settings mda_num=1|2" can be used
to select one mda to repair.
To combine all header and metadata repairs:
pvck --repair --file <file> <device>
It's best to use a raw metadata file as input, that was
extracted from another PV in the same VG (or from another
metadata area on the same PV.) pvck will also accept a
metadata backup file, but that will produce metadata that
is not identical to other metadata copies on other PVs
and other areas. So, when using a backup file, consider
using it to update metadata on all PVs/areas.
To get a raw metadata file to use for the repair, see
pvck --dump metadata|metadata_search.
List all instances of metadata from the metadata area:
pvck --dump metadata_search <device>
Save one instance of metadata at the given offset to
the specified file (this file can be used for repair):
pvck --dump metadata_search --file <file>
--settings "metadata_offset=<off>" <device>
The exported VG checking/enforcement was scattered and
inconsistent. This centralizes it and makes it consistent,
following the existing approach for foreign and shared
VGs/PVs, which are very similar to exported VGs/PVs.
The access policy that now applies to foreign/shared/exported
VGs/PVs, is that if a foreign/shared/exported VG/PV is named
on the command line (i.e. explicitly requested by the user),
and the command is not permitted to operate on it because it
is foreign/shared/exported, then an access error is reported
and the command exits with an error. But, if the command is
processing all VGs/PVs, and happens to come across a
foreign/shared/exported VG/PV (that is not explicitly named on
the command line), then the command silently skips it and does
not produce an error.
A command using tags or --select handles inaccessible VGs/PVs
the same way as a command processing all VGs/PVs, and will
not report/return errors if these inaccessible VGs/PVs exist.
The new policy fixes the exit codes on a somewhat random set of
commands that previously exited with an error if they were
looking at all VGs/PVs and an exported VG existed on the system.
There should be no change to which commands are allowed/disallowed
on exported VGs/PVs.
Certain LV commands (lvs/lvdisplay/lvscan) would previously not
display LVs from an exported VG (for unknown reasons). This has
not changed. The lvm fullreport command would previously report
info about an exported VG but not about the LVs in it. This
has changed to include all info from the exported VG.
and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object.
The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used
to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV
used for caching. This could be somewhat confusing, and it
made it less clear when each kind would be used. By
separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol
should be used.
Previously:
- lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed
a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option.
- lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed
a standard LV in the --cachepool option.
Now:
- lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user
uses the --cachepool option.
- lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user
uses the --cachevol option.
Save the list of PVs in /run/lvm/hints. These hints
are used to reduce scanning in a number of commands
to only the PVs on the system, or only the PVs in a
requested VG (rather than all devices on the system.)
Native disk scanning is now both reduced and
async/parallel, which makes it comparable in
performance (and often faster) when compared
to lvm using lvmetad.
Autoactivation now uses local temp files to record
online PVs, and no longer requires lvmetad.
There should be no apparent command-level change
in behavior.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
For reporting commands (pvs,vgs,lvs,pvdisplay,vgdisplay,lvdisplay)
we do not need to repeat the label scan of devices in vg_read if
they all had matching metadata in the initial label scan. The
data read by label scan can just be reused for the vg_read.
This cuts the amount of device i/o in half, from two reads of
each device to one. We have to be careful to avoid repairing
the VG if we've skipped rescanning. (The VG repair code is very
poor, and will be redone soon.)
The copy of VG metadata stored in lvmcache was not being used
in general. It pretended to be a generic VG metadata cache,
but was not being used except for clvmd activation. There
it was used to avoid reading from disk while devices were
suspended, i.e. in resume.
This removes the code that attempted to make this look
like a generic metadata cache, and replaces with with
something narrowly targetted to what it's actually used for.
This is a way of passing the VG from suspend to resume in
clvmd. Since in the case of clvmd one caller can't simply
pass the same VG to both suspend and resume, suspend needs
to stash the VG somewhere that resume can grab it from.
(resume doesn't want to read it from disk since devices
are suspended.) The lvmcache vginfo struct is used as a
convenient place to stash the VG to pass it from suspend
to resume, even though it isn't related to the lvmcache
or vginfo. These suspended_vg* vginfo fields should
not be used or touched anywhere else, they are only to
be used for passing the VG data from suspend to resume
in clvmd. The VG data being passed between suspend and
resume is never modified, and will only exist in the
brief period between suspend and resume in clvmd.
suspend has both old (current) and new (precommitted)
copies of the VG metadata. It stashes both of these in
the vginfo prior to suspending devices. When vg_commit
is successful, it sets a flag in vginfo as before,
signaling the transition from old to new metadata.
resume grabs the VG stashed by suspend. If the vg_commit
happened, it grabs the new VG, and if the vg_commit didn't
happen it grabs the old VG. The VG is then used to resume
LVs.
This isolates clvmd-specific code and usage from the
normal lvm vg_read code, making the code simpler and
the behavior easier to verify.
Sequence of operations:
- lv_suspend() has both vg_old and vg_new
and stashes a copy of each onto the vginfo:
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_old);
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_new);
- vg_commit() happens, which causes all clvmd
instances to call lvmcache_commit_metadata(vg).
A flag is set in the vginfo indicating the
transition from the old to new VG:
vginfo->suspended_vg_committed = 1;
- lv_resume() needs either vg_old or vg_new
to use in resuming LVs. It doesn't want to
read the VG from disk since devices are
suspended, so it gets the VG stashed by
lv_suspend:
vg = lvmcache_get_suspended_vg(vgid);
If the vg_commit did not happen, suspended_vg_committed
will not be set, and in this case, lvmcache_get_suspended_vg()
will return the old VG instead of the new VG, and it will
resume LVs based on the old metadata.
The persistent filter should not be imported by any command that doesn't
use it so take addtional note of REQUIRES_FULL_LABEL_SCAN (for vgrename)
and introduce IGNORE_PERSISTENT_FILTER for vgscan and pvscan.
Add an independent command definition for "vgchange --locktype",
and split the implementation out of the set of common metadata
changes. It is unlike normal metadata changes, and can only
be run by itself. (Changing the lock type is similar in
principle to changing the VG name or the VG system ID; it
effects the ability of any host to see or access the VG.)
At some point this command lost the ability to forcibly change
the lock type of a shared VG to "none" (making it a local VG).
This can be necessary to repair shared VGs (e.g. recovery steps
that occur in vg_read are disabled for shared VGs because
they are not locked properly, or recovering sanlock locks
when the PV holding them is lost.)
"vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force VG" is used as the
method of forcing the shared VG to become local so that it
can be repaired.
Removing some unused new lines and changing some incorrect "can't
release until this is fixed" comments. Rename license.txt to make
it clear its merely an included file, not itself a licence.
As was recently done with relative signes for sizes/extents,
limit the signs used with the mirrors option, e.g.
lvcreate --mirrors now does not accept or advertise an
optional minus sign with the value. lvconvert --mirrors
accepts +|-.
OO_LVCREATE_CACHE accepts --cachemetadataformat.
Support new option --cachemetadataformat auto|1|2 for caching.
Word 'auto' can be also be given as '0'.
Add new values for different sign variations, resulting in:
size_VAL no sign accepted
ssize_VAL accepts + or -
psize_VAL accepts +
nsize_VAL accpets -
extents_VAL no sign accepted
sextents_VAL accepts + or -
pextents_VAL accepts +
nextents_VAL accepts -
Depending on the command being run, change the option
values for --size, --extents, --poolmetadatasize to
use the appropriate value from above.
lvcreate uses no sign (but accepts + and ignores it).
lvresize accepts +|- for a relative change.
lvextend accepts + for a relative change.
lvreduce accepts - for a relative change.
Like opt and val arrays in previous commit, combine duplicate
arrays for lv types and props in command.c and lvmcmdline.c.
Also move the command_names array to be defined in command.c
so it's consistent with the others.
command.c and lvmcmdline.c each had a full array defining
all options and values. This duplication was not removed
when the command.c code was merged into the run time.
There was confusion in the code about whether or not the
--size option accepted a sign. Make it consistent and clear
that it does.
This exposes a new problem in that an option can only
accept one value type, e.g. --size can only accept a
signed number, it cannot accept a positive or negative
number for some commands and reject negative numbers for
others.
In practice, lvcreate accepts only positive --size
values and lvresize accepts positive or negative --size
values. There is currently no way to encode this
difference. Until that is fixed, the man page output
is hacked to avoid printing the [+|-] prefix for sizes
in lvcreate.
For this syntax:
lvconvert --thinpool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
lvconvert --cachepool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
Restore the metadata swapping behavior in addition to
the pool creation behavior. When LV1 is already a pool,
the metadata LV will be swapped with LV2.
When LV1 is not a pool, it will be converted to a
pool using the specified LV for metadata.
This syntax is no longer advertised because of the
ambiguous behavior. The primary syntaxes for pool
creation and metadata swapping will be the advertised
methods.
This reverts commit 717363bb94.
These alternate forms for swapping metadata cannot be
distinguished from the command for creating a pool.
If we were to add these alternate forms for swapping
metadata, we would need to overload the pool creation
command defs, making those definitions ambiguous.
All lvconvert functionality has been moved out of the
previous monolithic lvconvert code, except conversions
related to raid/mirror/striped/linear. This switches
that remaining code to be based on command defs, and
standard process_each_lv arg processing. This final
switch results in quite a bit of dead code that is
also removed.
This is a new explicit version of 'lvconvert LV'
which has been an obscure way of triggering polling
to be restarted on an LV that was previously converted.
Lift all the snapshot utilities (merge, split, combine)
out of the monolithic lvconvert implementation, using
the command definitions. The old code associated with
these commands is now unused and will be removed separately.
This lifts the lvconvert --repair and --replace commands
out of the monolithic lvconvert implementation. The
previous calls into repair/replace can no longer be
reached and will be removed in a separate commit.
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.
The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args. Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.
Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:
lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.
lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX
lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.
The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters. Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition. Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.
This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.
Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one. An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.
The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.
command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
[ <optional_opt_args> ]
[ <optional_pos_args> ]
Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.
Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.
Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.
Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it. The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.
Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis. When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.
Add simple function to wrap usage for only uint32 numbers.
Unlike 'int_arg' which accepts full range of 64bit number
this function will error on numbers out of this range:
<0, UINT32_MAX>
Groupable args (the ones marked with ARG_GROUPABLE flag) start a new
group of args if:
- this is the first time we hit such a groupable arg,
- or if non-countable arg is repeated.
However, there may be cases where we want to give priorities when
forming groups and hence force new group creation if we hit an arg
with higher grouping priority.
For example, let's assume (for now) hypothetical sequence of args used:
lvs -o lv_name --configreport log -o log_type --configreport lv -o +vg_name
Without giving any priorites, we end up with:
lvs -o lv_name --configreport log -o log_type --configreport lv -o +vg_name
| | | | | |
\__________GROUP1___________/ \________GROUP2___________/ \_GROUP3_/
This is because we hit "-o" as the first groupable arg. The --configreport,
even though it's groupable too, it falls into the previous "-o" group.
While we may need to give priority to the --configreport arg that should
always start a new group in this scenario instead:
lvs -o lv_name --configreport log -o log_type --configreport lv -o +vg_name
| | | | | |
\_GROUP1_/ \_________GROUP2___________/ \_________GROUP3__________/
So here "-o" started a new group but since "--configreport" has higher
priority than "-o", it starts fresh new group now and hence the rest of
the command line's args are grouped by --configreport now.
pvmove began processing tags unintentionally from commit,
6d7dc87cb pvmove: use toollib
pvmove works on a single PV, but tags can match multiple PVs.
If we allowed tags, but processed only the first matching PV,
then the resulting PV would be unpredictable.
Also, the current processing code does not allow us to simply
report an error and do nothing if more than one PV matches the tag,
because the command starts processing PVs as they are found,
so it's too late to do nothing if a second PV matches.
Add support for active cache LV.
Handle --cachemode args validation during command line processing.
Rework some lvm2 internal to use lvm2 defined CACHE_MODE enums
indepently on libdm defines and use enum around the code instead
of passing and comparing strings.
Previously, duplicate PVs were processed as a side effect
of processing the "chosen" PV in lvmcache. The duplicate
PV would be hacked into lvmcache temporarily in place of
the chosen PV.
In the old way, we had to always process the "chosen" PV
device, even if a duplicate of it was named on the command
line. This meant we were processing a different device than
was asked for. This could be worked around by naming
multiple duplicate devs on the command line in which case
they were swapped in and out of lvmcache for processing.
Now, the duplicate devs are processed directly in their
own processing loop. This means we can remove the old
hacks related to processing dups as a side effect of
processing the chosen device. We can now simply process
the device that was named on the command line.
When the same PVID exists on two or more devices, one device
is preferred and used in the VG, and the others are duplicates
and are not used in the VG. The preferred device exists in
lvmcache as usual. The duplicates exist in a specical list
of unused duplicate devices.
The duplicate devs have the "d" attribute and the "duplicate"
reporting field displays "duplicate" for them.
'pvs' warns about duplicates, but the formal output only
includes the single preferred PV.
'pvs -a' has the same warnings, and the duplicate devs are
included in the output.
'pvs <path>' has the same warnings, and displays the named
device, whether it is preferred or a duplicate.
Move checking the lvmetad state, and the possible rescan,
out of lvmetad_send() to the start of the command.
Previously, the token mismatch and rescan would occur
within lvmetad_send() for some other request. Now,
the token mismatch is detected earlier, so the
rescan can be done before the main command is in
progress. Rescanning deep within the processing of
another command will disturb the lvmcache state of
that other command.
A rescan already exists at the start of the command
for the case where foreign VGs are going to be read.
This same rescan is now also performed when there is
an lvmetad token mismatch (from a changed global_filter).
The commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan/vgimport are excluded
from this preemptive checking/rescanning for lvmetad
because they want to do rescanning themselves explicitly.
If rescanning devices fails, then lvmetad has not been
correctly repopulated and should not be used, so make
the command revert to not using lvmetad.
When a command modifies a PV or VG, or changes the
activation state of an LV, it will send a dbus
notification when the command is finished. This
can be enabled/disabled with a config setting.
