Few unecessary comments were written to on-disc metadata.
Use outfc() to have comments only in archived files.
(may also save couple bytes in ringbuffer).
TODO: needed validation against newline char...
If "vgcreate/lvcreate --profile <profile_name>" is used, the profile
name is automatically stored in metadata for making it possible to
load it automatically next time the VG/LV is used.
The PV header extension information (PV header extension version, flags
and list of Embedding Area locations) is stored just beyond the PV header base.
When calculating the Embedding Area start value (ea_start), the same logic is
used as when calculating the pe_start value for Data Area - the value must
follow exactly the same alignment restrictions for its start value
(the alignment detected automatically or provided via command line using
the --dataalignment and --dataalignmentoffset arguments).
The Embedding Area is placed at the very start of the PV, starting at
ea_start. The Data Area starting at pe_start is placed next. The pe_start is
still properly aligned. Due to the pe_start alignment, it's possible that the
resulting Embedding Area size (ea_size) ends up bigger in size than requested
(but never less than requested).
Basic support to keep info when the LV was created.
Host and time is stored into LV mda section.
FIXME: Current version doesn't support configurable string via lvm.conf
and used fixed version strftime "%Y-%m-%d %T %z".
leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.
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
Nicely hidden memory leak in outf macro error path.
This macro is using out_text() and does automagical return_0.
That would leak tag_buffer allocated memory.
As there was same code for tags output - create _out_tags() function.
This patch adds the ability to read/write the vg->mda_copies values
from/to the vg metadata.
If we read the VG metadata and this field does not exist, we set
mda_copies to the default value of 0. Later in the code, we use
this special '0' value to indicate a disable of metadata balancing.
This should preserve existing LVM behavior and ensure metadata balancing
can be turned off should the need arise.

The physical_volume, volume_group, logical_volume and lv_segment
structures' 'status' member is now uint64_t.
The alignment of these structures was also audited to remove holes. The
movement of some members in 'volume_group' and 'lv_segment' eliminates
holes. The 'physical_volume' structure still has one 4-byte hole after
'pe_size'; the other structures no longer have any holes. Each
structures' size has not changed.
indented metadata lines.
Macro outnl() is using exported out_newline() instead of direct
call f->fn(), that required the visibility of the internal
struct formatter.
Currently code uses pv_dev_name() for hash when getting internal
"pvX" name.
This produce corrupted metadata if PVs are missing, pv->dev
is NULL and all these missing devices returns one name
(using "unknown device" for all missing devices as hash key).
The "status" field is treated as it ever has been, unknown flags there are
treated as fatal metadata errors. However, in the "flags" field, any unknown
flags will be ignored and silently dropped. This improves
backward-compatibility possibilities. (Any versions without support for this
new "flag" field will drop the field altogether, which is same as ignoring all
the flags there.)
Clear many compiler warnings (i386) & associated bugs - hopefully without
introducing too many new bugs:-) (Same exercise required for other archs.)
Default compilation has optimisation - or else use ./configure --enable-debug
allocation policy. This can currently take one of three values:
typedef enum {
ALLOC_NEXT_FREE,
ALLOC_STRICT,
ALLOC_CONTIGUOUS
} alloc_policy_t;
Notice that 'SIMPLE' has turned into the slightly more meaningful NEXT_FREE.
ii) Put code into display.[hc] for converting one of these enums to a
text representation and back again.
ii) Updated the text format so this also has the alloc_policy field.
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!
Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files. Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.
Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).
e.g. metadata {
dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}
Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
from lock_vol() - otherwise it now attempts to acquire the lock and then
immediately releases it.
o Extend the id field in struct logical_volume to hold VG uuid + LV uuid
for format1. This unique lvid can be used directly when calling lock_vol().
o Add the VG uuid to vgcache to make VG uuid lookups possible. (Another
step towards using them instead of VG names internally.)
o Text format now has a description and time field at the top level.
o archiving and backup set the description appropriately. eg,
for an archive:
description = "Created *before* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
for a backup:
description = "Created *after* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
This is preparing the way for a simple vgcfgundo command.
slightly different from the current LVM1 method.
lvcreate --persistent y --minor 10 (to specify when created)
lvchange --persistent n (to turn off)
lvchange --persistent y --minor 11 (to change)
--persistent uses a new LV status flag stored on disk
minor number is stored on disk the same way as LVM1 does
(but major number stored is 0; any LVM1 major/minor setting gets lost)
lvchange -ay --minor 12 (to activate using minor 12, regardless of the
on-disk setting, which doesn't get changed)
--minor == -m
--persistent == -M
missing from a VG. (Linear targets use the device-mapper 'error' target
which returns ioerror; striped targets use '/dev/ioerror' for now - which must
already exist e.g. as a sufficiently large block device version of /dev/zero).
struct pv_list {
struct list list;
struct physical_volume pv;
};
to
struct pv_list {
struct list list;
struct physical_volume *pv;
};
o New function in toollib 'create_pv_list', which creates a list of pv's
from a given command line array of pv's.
o Changed lvcreate/extend to use this (fixes lvextend [pv list] bug).
