user creates a file listing real devices they want
lvm tests to use, and sets LVM_TEST_DEVICE_LIST.
lvm tests can use these with prepare_real_devs
and get_real_devs.
Other aux functions do not work with these devs.
When ERR_DEV and ZERO_DEV are used, they are automatically
taken down when the last user no longer needs them,
so hide them from 'forgotten' device check.
In cases where internal functions like zero_dev, delay_dev pass-in
invalid parameter so resulting table can't work, resume at least
previous table line before failing out - so the cleaning process
later on is not stuck waiting on a suspended device.
Just like we have 'writeerror_dev' supporting creation of device
which 'readable' segment and segments where write will fail we
have now support for delay zero mappings.
This is useful if we want to 'fake' large writing areas where we do
not really care about the actual 'disk' content - since we test
operation logic and it doesn't matter we read and write zeroes.
With combination with 'delay' target we can create specific mappings
and avoid using large memory areas of ramdisk.
dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum. When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.
Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):
lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]
Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV
Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV
Settings
Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.
Initialization
When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized. The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)
Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:
$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
Logical volume "rr" created.
$ lvs -a foo
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Cpy%Sync
rr foo rwi-a-r--- 1.00g 4.93
[rr_rimage_0] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_0_iorig] 41.02

[rr_rimage_1_imeta] foo ewi-ao---- 12.00m
[rr_rimage_1_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g
[rr_rmeta_0] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
[rr_rmeta_1] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
Use /dev/md33 instead of /dev/md0 to reduce chances of
conflicting with an existing name.
Only call 'mdadm --stop /dev/md33' for cleanup and don't
use 'mdadm --stop --scan' to avoid stopping other md devs.
Since we use 'set -euE -o pipefail' for shell execution,
any failure of any command in the 'piped' shell can result
in failure of whole executed chain - resulting in typically
unsually test skip, that was left unnoticed.
Since checked command have usually short output, the simplest
fix seems to be to let grep parse whole output instead
of quiting after first match.
So when the target name happened to be a suffix of another one,
the grep was filtering incorrect line
(i.e. dm-cache && dm-writecache) - so do a line head matching.
Unfortunatelly on kernels <4.16 lvm2 can't user brd ramdisks
for backend device as number of test is failing with this kernel
message:
device-mapper: ioctl: can't change device type after initial table load.
caused by DAX request-based handling, and lvm2 tries to replace device
with backend 'error' bio-based device and such table reload is being
rejected.
So ATM keep ramdisk only on most recent kernel to experiment a bit,
for older machines just stay safe and keep old slower loop backend.
Just like 52656c89fd
when now cache is compiled in 'unditionally'.
This patch is actually enforce by changes in
commit: 2bc896f2a3
where CACHE value is not set anymore.
