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 new command 'pvck --dump metadata PV' will extract
the current version of VG metadata from a PV for testing
and debugging. --dump metadata_area extracts the entire
text metadata area.
- remove reference to locking_type which is no longer used
- remove references to adopting locks which has been disabled
- move some sanlock-specific info out of a general section
- remove info about doing automatic lockstart by the system
since this was never used (the resource agent does it)
- replace info about lvextend and manual refresh under gfs2
with a description about the automatic remote refresh

"lvmlockd: activate mirror LVs in shared mode with cmirrord"
because while activating a mirror LV with cmirrord worked,
changes to the active cmirror did not work.
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.
The systemd generators are executed very early during the switch
from initramfs to system partition and the syslog is not yet fully
operational - it may cause blocking, if some debug logging is enabled
at the same time in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf log{} section.
To avoid timeouting and killing this generator - rather enhance lvm
code to suppress any syslog communication when LVM_SUPPRESS_SYSLOG
envvar is set.
Use of this envvar is needed since the parsing of i.e. cmdline options
that could eventually override lvm.conf setting happens in this case
way too late and number of lines could have been already streamed to
syslog.
. When using default settings, this commit should change
nothing. The first PE continues to be placed at 1 MiB
resulting in a metadata area size of 1020 KiB (for
4K page sizes; slightly smaller for larger page sizes.)
. When default_data_alignment is disabled in lvm.conf,
align pe_start at 1 MiB, based on a default metadata area
size that adapts to the page size. Previously, disabling
this option would result in mda_size that was too small
for common use, and produced a 64 KiB aligned pe_start.
. Customized pe_start and mda_size values continue to be
set as before in lvm.conf and command line.
. Remove the configure option for setting default_data_alignment
at build time.
. Improve alignment related option descriptions.
. Add section about alignment to pvcreate man page.
Previously, DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was 255 sectors.
However, the fact that the config setting named
"default_data_alignment" has a default value of 1 (MiB)
meant that DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was having no effect.
The metadata area size is the space between the start of
the metadata area (page size offset from the start of the
device) and the first PE (1 MiB by default due to
default_data_alignment 1.) The result is a 1020 KiB metadata
area on machines with 4KiB page size (1024 KiB - 4 KiB),
and smaller on machines with larger page size.
If default_data_alignment was set to 0 (disabled), then
DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE 255 would take effect, and produce a
metadata area that was 188 KiB and pe_start of 192 KiB.
This was too small for common use.
This is fixed by making the default metadata area size a
computed value that matches the value produced by
default_data_alignment.
The pvscan systemd service for autoactivation was
mistakenly dropped along with the lvmetad related
services.
The activation generator program now looks at the new
lvm.conf setting "event_activation" (default 1) to
switch between event activation and direct activation.
Previously, the old use_lvmetad setting was used to
switch between event and direct activation.
instead of a separate --writecacheblocksize option.
writecache block_size is not technically a setting,
but it can borrow the option as a special case.
The previous method for forcibly changing a clustered VG
to a local VG involved using -cn and locking_type 0.
Since those options are deprecated, replace it with
the same command used for other forced lock type changes:
vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force.
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.
The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.
The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.
Generation of man pages is generating lot of barely readable output.
For normal build quietize this a bit.
For original verbose build start to use 'make V=1'
(just like i.e. linux kernel does)
TODO: apply at more places...
The new blkdeactivate -r|mdraidoption wait causes blkdeactivate to wait
for any resync/recovery/reshape that is currently in progress before
deactivating the device.
If this option is used, blkdeactivate calls mdadm -W|--wait before
mdadm -S|--stop.
There was a typo in blkdeactivate --dmoption/--lvmoption/mpathoption,
it had missing "s" at the end and it was not recognized properly, only
short names for the options (-d/-l/-m).
In a shared VG, only allow pvmove with a named LV,
so that only PE's used by the LV will be moved.
The LV is then activated exclusively, ensuring that
the PE's being moved are not used from another host.
Previously, pvmove was mistakenly allowed on a full PV.
This won't work when LVs using that PV are active on
other hosts.
The following commands now pass the device list through a
--select|-S filter before processing:

Introduce PROGS_FLAGS to add option to pass flags for external libs.
Link lvm2 internally library only when really used.
Link DAEMON_LIBS with daemons.
Pass VALGRIND_CFLAGS internally
Set shell failure mode on couple places.
Create a new table output format that concisely shows multiple devices
on one line.
dmsetup table --concise [device...]
<dev_name>,<uuid>,<flags>[,<table>]*[;<dev_name>,<uuid>,<flags>[,<table>]*]*
Table lines are separated by commas.
Devices are separated by semi-colons.
Flags is currently 'ro' or 'rw' (and might be extended in a
yet-to-be-defined way in future).
Any comma, semi-colon or backslash within a field is quoted by a
preceding backslash.
The format can later be supplied as input to dmsetup or even to the
booting kernel as an alternative way to set up devices.

Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com>.
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.
Many will look in 'man lvm.conf' expecting to find a
description of the lvm.conf fields, which are not there.
State at the beginning how to get this (by running
lvmconfig.)
The lvm(8) man page never said what LVM is,
it never defined what the acronym LVM stands for,
it never spelled out other common acronyms VG, PV, LV,
and never described what they are.
This adds a very minimal definition which at least defines
the acronyms and entities, but it could obviously be
expanded on, either here or elsewhere.

narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens
in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding
them in creating help texts. This lead to a sequence
of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional
patches in aforementioned commit series.
On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator
created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens
in need of escaping.
Changes:
- revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator
streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating
help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in
- Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1)
in the respective Makefile targets
- remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any
static manual sources or headers
For each section 8 man page, a .8_gen file is created from one of:
.8_main - Old-style man page - content used directly
.8_des and .8_end - Description and end section of a generated page
.8_pregen - Pre-generated page used if the generator fails
Other man sections are not generated and use the suffix .5_main or .7_main.
Developers should use 'make generate' to regenerate the .8_pregen files.
Require that the path argument to dmfilemapd be an absolute path
and document this in tool output, libdevmapper.h and dmfilemapd.8.
The check is also enforced by dm_stats_start_filemapd() to avoid
forking a new process with an invalid path argument.

Clean up and correct the details around --extents and --size.
lvcreate/lvresize/lvreduce/lvextend all now display the
extents option in usages.
The Size and Number value variables for --size and --extents
are now displayed without the [+|-] prefix for 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.
Kernel 4.10 (dm-crypt v1.15.0) and later supports loading device
tables with crypt segment having key in kernel keyring retention
service.
dmsetup hid key section of tables output. With this patch dmsetup
no longer hides key section if it detects kernel key description
instead of hex byte representation of key itself.
