d50c6d4bf5 Add new --sysinit option for vgchange and lvchange.
A shortcut for --ignorelockingfailure, --ignoremonitoring, --poll n options
and LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable used all at
once in initialisation scripts (e.g. rc.sysinit or initrd).

ff403ee29f Remove -n argument from vgcfgrestore.
This is old lvm1 syntax, because arguments changed
from PVs to VGs compatibility is broken already.

name_ARG is not used in code.

7a369d3704 Add ability to create mirrored logs for mirror LVs.
This check-in enables the 'mirrored' log type.  It can be specified
by using the '--mirrorlog' option as follows:
#> lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored -L 5G -n lv vg

I've also included a couple updates to the testsuite.  These updates
include tests for the new log type, and some fixes to some of the
*lvconvert* tests.

a6bc975a24 Improve activation monitoring option processing
. Add "monitoring" option to "activation" section of lvm.conf
. Have clvmd consult the lvm.conf "activation/monitoring" too.
. Introduce toollib.c:get_activation_monitoring_mode().
. Error out when both --monitor and --ignoremonitoring are provided.
. Add --monitor and --ignoremonitoring support to lvcreate.  Update
  lvcreate man page accordingly.
. Clarify that '--monitor' controls the start and stop of monitoring in
  the {vg,lv}change man pages.

72e0743621 This patch adds the capability to split off a mirror legs.
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.

7a8fa6aaab Add a [--poll {y|n}] flag to vgchange and lvchange to control whether
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

output.  Remove ununsed 'disk_ARG' parameter.  Leave --trustcache out of
the man page output.  Update --units argument to show all possible units.

0ddb66efba Add --pvmetadatacopies as a synonym for --metadatacopies in various commands.
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.

772cac09e3 Enable use of cached metadata for pvs & pvdisplay.
Currently PV commands, which performs full device scan, repeatly
re-reads PVs and scans for all devices.

This behaviour can lead to OOM for large VG.

This patch allows using internal metadata cache for pvs & pvdisplay,
so the commands scan the PVs only once.
(We have to use VG_GLOBAL otherwise cache is invalidated on every
VG unlock in process_single PV call.)

8929ce6651 Add --dataalignment to pvcreate to specify alignment of data area. (mbroz)
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).

64119287c3 - change new log_ARG variable to more explicit mirrorlog_ARG. 2007-08-09 21:25:08 +00:00
Jonathan Earl Brassow
19583d115c This patch changes the arguments that specify the mirror
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.

25b733809a Merge with text format branch.
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.

812c699c8d Basic support for persistent minor numbers;
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

7ae5a778d5 Basic support for (read-only) partial activation if any PVs are
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).
