Switch lvconvert's --merge code over to using process_each_lv(). Doing
so adds support for a single 'lvconvert --merge' to start merging
multiple LVs (which includes @tag expansion).
Add 'lvconvert --merge @tag' testing to test/t-snapshot-merge.sh
Adjust man/lvconvert.8.in to reflect these expanded capabilities.
The lvconvert.c implementation requires rereading the VG each iteration
of process_each_lv(). Otherwise a stale VG instance associated with
the LV passed to lvconvert_single_merge() would result in stale VG
metadata being written back out to disk. This overwrote new metadata
that was written when a previous snapshot LV finished merging (via
lvconvert_poll). This is only an issue when merging multiple LVs that
share the same VG (a single VG is typical for most LVM configurations on
system disks).
In the end this new support is very useful for performing a "system
rollback" that requires multiple snapshot LVs be merged to their
respective origin LV.
The yum-utils 'fs-snapshot' plugin tags all snapshot LVs that it creates
with a common 'snapshot_tag' that is unique to the yum transaction.
Rolling back a yum transaction, that created LVM snapshots with the tag
'yum_20100129133223', is as simple as:
lvconvert --merge @yum_20100129133223

Allow the number of logical extents to be expressed (for a snapshot) as
a percentage of the total space in the Origin Logical Volume with the
suffix %ORIGIN.
Update the relevant man pages accordingly. Eliminate inconsistencies
between the man pages and tools/commands.h

This is useful for when the snapshot is still active and merging hasn't
started yet; it shows a merge is pending. Once merging starts the
merging snapshot will be hidden but can still be displayed with 'lvs -a'
Report snapshot origin with merging snapshot as 'O' instead of 'o':
Before merge starts this shows that a merge is pending. While merging
the snapshot will be hidden, 'O' enables a user to see that there is a
snapshot merging.
It is pretty much the same as reducing the number of
mirror legs, but we just don't delete them afterwards.
The following command line interface is enforced:
prompt> lvconvert --splitmirror <n> -n <name> <VG>/<LV>
where 'n' is the number of images to split off, and
where 'name' is the name of the newly split off logical volume.
If more than one leg is split off, a new mirror will be the
result. The newly split off mirror will have a 'core' log.
Example:
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_1(0),lv_mimage_2(0),lv_mimage_3(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mimage_3] /dev/sde1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvconvert --splitmirrors 2 --name split vg/lv /dev/sd[ce]1
Logical volume lv converted.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_2(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
split 100.00 split_mimage_0(0),split_mimage_1(0)
[split_mimage_0] /dev/sde1(0)
[split_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
It can be seen that '--splitmirror <n>' is exactly the same
as '--mirrors -<n>' (note the minus sign), except there is the
additional notion to keep the image being detached from the
mirror instead of just throwing it away.

the background polldaemon is allowed to start. It can be used
standalone or in conjunction with --refresh or --available y.
Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly
important for snapshot-merge of a root filesystem.
Dracut will be updated to activate all LVs with: --poll n
The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y
NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background
polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and
have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor
initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s)
2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs
if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y'

Option --all is only partially documented currently, so document in all
commands. Also make {pv|vg|lv}{display|s} man pages consistent with help
output. Remove ununsed 'disk_ARG' parameter. Leave --trustcache out of
the man page output. Update --units argument to show all possible units.
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis. In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere. We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies. Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands). The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.
Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.
Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches. Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).
NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.
vgcreate and vgextend now implicitly call pvcreate on devices not
currently initialized for LVM use. Previously these commands would
fail with an error, so clarify the new behavior in the man page.
Slight functional change. If we open the destination first, we cannot
know the 'fmt'. In this case we use the default metadata type unless
the user has specified -M on the cmdline. If not, in most cases this
is fine since we use the LVM2 default metadata type. However, if the
user is specifying a non-default metadata type (e.g. lvm1) and the order
of the names is such that we have to open the destination (vg_to) first,
we have a problem. So in this case, we require the use of -M and vgsplit
will fail with an error if not. I've updated the man page to recommend
the usage of -M in this case.

Adds 'data_alignment_detection' config option to the devices section of
lvm.conf. If your kernel provides topology information in sysfs (linux
>= 2.6.31) for the Physical Volume, the start of data area will be
aligned on a multiple of the ’minimum_io_size’ or ’optimal_io_size’
exposed in sysfs.
minimum_io_size is used if optimal_io_size is undefined (0). If both
md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are enabled the result
of data_alignment_detection is used.

If the pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset option is not specified the start
of a PV's aligned data area will be shifted by the associated
'alignment_offset' exposed in sysfs (unless
devices/data_alignment_offset_detection is disabled in lvm.conf).

Update units_to_bytes() to support (S)ectors: 500 bytes.
- 500 byte (S)ectors is of questionable value but it adds to consistency
if a user happens to use --units S. This seems better than an error.
Updated test/t-covercmd.sh to test --units [hS]
Document the units that can be displayed via --units uniformly.
- (p)etabytes and (e)xabytes were missing in pvs, vgs and lvs man pages.
Made lvreduce man page "... in units of megabytes." consistent (with the
lvextend and lvresize man pages).
