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.
Adds pe_align_offset to 'struct physical_volume'; is initialized with
set_pe_align_offset(). After pe_start is established pe_align_offset is
added to it.

Add lvs origin_size field.
Fix linux configure --enable-debug to exclude -O2.
Still a few rough edges, but hopefully usable now:
lvcreate -s vg1 -L 100M --virtualoriginsize 1T
This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.
Intended behaviour of the code now:
pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.
In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.
Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).
log type. Previously, we had a '--corelog' argument that
would change the default type from 'disk' to 'core'. I
think that creates too much confusion - especially when
doing conversions on mirrors.
The new argument '--log' takes either "disk" or "core"
as a parameter. This could be expanded in the future
for additional logging types as well.
Examples:
# Creating a 2-way mirror
$> lvcreate -m1 ... # implicitly use default disk logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --log disk ... # explicit disk logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --log core ... # specify core logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --corelog ... # old way still works
# Conversion examples
$> lvconvert --log core ... # convert to core logging
$> lvconvert --log disk ... # convert to disk logging
$> lvconvert -mX --corelog ... # old way still works
$> lvconvert -mX ... # old way of converting to disk logging still works
Changes are reflected in the man pages.
e.g. lvcreate -l 100%FREE to create an LV using all available space.
lvextend -l 50%LV to increase an LV by 50% of its existing size.
lvcreate -l 20%VG to create an LV using 20% of the total VG size.
event-driven model. Without changes to the way the cache gets updated, the
option is currently unreliable without a global lock to prevent any lvm2
commands from running concurrently.
Add --config for overriding most config file settings from cmdline.
Quote arguments when printing command line.
Remove linefeed from 'initialising logging' message.
Add 'Completed' debug message.
Don't attempt library exit after reloading config files.
Always compile with libdevmapper, even if device-mapper is disabled.
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.
and add severe warning if it's used to make a device seem bigger than
it really is. This is not an option people should be using as it
breaks metadata integrity.
o Use uint64_t throughout (rather than unsigned long long)
o Convert a few messages that contain pathnames into the more common form:
pathname: message
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
onto a new device). uuid specified must not already exist on the system.
o More message tidying.
o When checking for label, only read PV metadata.
o Add ataraid. [Needs moving into config/defaults files.]
o There is now a _default_debug, and _default_verbose level, when
using lvm interactively -vv and -dd switches just effect the current
command.
o Added a --quiet switch which sets both verbose and debug to zero.
o You must list long args with no short option (eg. --version) at the
front of the args.h file.
o If an argument has no short option, set the short option in args.h to '\0'
o The index into the 'the_args' var is now stored as the option value
for getopt, iff there is no short opt.
o Full signed arguments to lvreduce/lvextend
o Consistent lv_number/pe map use
o Populate pv->pe_allocated
o Fixes for allocation/writing of multiple LVs
