In some cases the message could be slightly misleading so use
here rather conditional.
TODO:
In future we may possibly further tune the message in case we are
certain the level of redundancy protection has not been reduced.
The lvchange-raid[456].sh test checks that mismatches can be detected
properly. It does this by writing garbage to the back half of one of
the legs directly. When performing a "check" or "repair" of mismatches,
MD does a good job going directly to disk and bypassing any buffers that
may prevent it from seeing mismatches. However, in the case of RAID4/5/6
we have the stripe cache to contend with and this is not bypassed. Thus,
mismatches which have /just/ happened to an area that now populates the
stripe cache may be overlooked. This isn't a serious issue, however,
because the stripe cache is short-lived and reasonably small. So, while
there may be a small window of time between the disk changing underneath
the RAID array and when you run a "check"/"repair" - causing a mismatch
to be missed - that would be no worse than if a user had simply run a
"check" a few seconds before the disk changed. IOW, it simply isn't worth
making a fuss over dropping the stripe cache before beginning a "check" or
"repair" (which we actually did attempt to do a while back).
So, to get the test running smoothly, we simply deactivate and reactivate
the LV to force the stripe cache to be dropped and then proceed. We could
just as easily wait a few seconds for the stripe cache to empty also.
When a "recover" is just starting for a RAID LV, it is possible to get
"idle" for the sync action if the status is issued quickly enough. This
is fine, the MD thread just hasn't gotten things going yet. However,
the /need/ for a "recover" should be marked in md->recovery and it would
be simple enough to fix the kernel so this doesn't happen. May eventually
want a separate bug for this, but for now it fits with RHBZ 1507719.
There are two known bugs in the lvconvert-raid-status-validation.sh
test. The first one I consider to be more of an annoyance (1507719).
The second one I consider to be more serious (1507729).
RHBZ 1507719 simply documents the fact that the three RAID status
fields may not always be coherent due to the way they are set and
unset when the MD thread is shutting down and starting up. For
example, the sync ratio may be 100% but the sync action may not
yet have switched to "idle" and the health characters may not yet
all be 'A's (i.e. the devices set to InSync).
RHBZ 1507729 is more serious. The sync ratio can be 100% for a
short period of time after upconverting linear -> RAID1. It is
reset to 0 once the MD sync thread gets to work on it. It does
this because, technically, the array /is/ in-sync if the new
devices are excluded - i.e. the data is 100% available and
consistent. I'm not sure what to do about this problem, but we'd
much rather not have this state that looks exactly like the
end of the process when the sync ratio is 100% because the
"recover" process finished, but the sync action and health
characters haven't been updated yet. Put simply, the problem
is that we can't tell if a sync is starting or finished based
on the status output.
Preload reiserfs module for the case, fs is present/compiled for a
kernel but it's not present in memory.
Size reducition needs --yes confirmation to preceed for reiserfs.
Correct reported message when thin snapshot has been already merged.
So lvm2 is no longer reporting "Mergins of snapshot X will occur..."
(even with swapped names).
Just like with other vars support this:
make check_local T=xyz LVM_LOG_FILE_MAX_LINES=10000000
Allows easily to override existing line limit.
Also increase limiting size of logs per command since some of
our commands are becoming very verbose....
the bug in LUKS grow/shrink decision in fsadm was
masked due to fact that default LVM2 extent size
was larger than LUKS1 default data offset for dm-crypt
mapping. The new test address this bug.
Avoid starting test, when test dir has less then 50M of free space.
Better to crash early before letting die machine on weird crash
in OOM cases...
Also show free disk space when test starts
Fix code checking that the 2nd mda which is at the end of disk really
fits the available free space and avoid any DA and MDA interleaving when
we already have DA preallocated. This mainly applies when we're restoring
a PV from VG backup using pvcreate --restorefile where we may already have
some DA preallocated - this means the PV was in a VG before with already
allocated space from it (the LVs were created). Hence we need to avoid
stepping into DA - the MDA can never ever be inside in such case!
The code responsible for this calculation was already in
_text_pv_add_metadata_area fn, but it had a bug in the calculation where
we subtracted one more sector by mistake and then the code could still
incorrectly allocate the MDA inside existing DA. The patch also renames
the variable in the code so it doesn't confuse us in future.
Also, if the 2nd mda doesn't fit, don't silently continue with just 1
MDA (at the start of the disk). If 2nd mda was requested and we can't
create that due to unavailable space, error out correctly (the patch
also adds a test to shell/pvcreate-operation.sh for this case).
Commit 8a912d6dbc missed the wrong logic,
we use 2 vars 'dev' & 'mddev' and their usage can't be mixed.
So correctly separate them so mddev keeps name of MD device.
