vgck --updatemetadata would write the same correct
metadata to good mdas, and then to bad mdas, but the
sequence of vg_write/vg_commit calls betwen good and
bad mdas could cause a different description field to
be generated for good/bad mdas. (The description field
describing the command was recently included in the
ondisk copy of the metadata text.)
and implement it based on a device, not based
on a pv struct (which is not available when the
device is not a part of the vg.)
currently only the vgremove command wipes outdated
pvs until more advanced recovery is added in a
subsequent commit
Add 'pvck --dump headers' to print all the
lvm ondisk structs. Also checks the values
and prints any problems.
The previous dump metadata is also converted to
use these same routines, which do not depend on lvm
fully scanning/reading/processing the headers and
metadata on disk. This makes it useful to get data in
cases where there is corruption that would otherwise
prevent the normal functions from working.
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.
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/
The list of strings is used quite frequently and we'd like to reuse
this simple structure for report selection support too. Make it part
of libdevmapper for general reuse throughout the code.
This also simplifies the LVM code a bit since we don't need to
include and manage lvm-types.h anymore (the string list was the
only structure defined there).
PV header extension comes just beyond the existing PV header base:
PV header base (existing):
- uuid
- device size
- null-terminated list of Data Areas
- null-terminater list of MetaData Areas
PV header extension:
- extension version
- flags
- null-terminated list of Embedding Areas
This patch also adds "eas" (Embedding Areas) list to lvmcache (lvmcache_info)
and it also adds support for common operations on the list (just like for
already existing "das" - Data Areas list):
- lvmcache_add_ea
- lvmcache_update_eas
- lvmcache_foreach_ea
- lvmcache_del_eas
Also, add ea_start and ea_size to struct physical_volume for processing
PV Embedding Area location throughout the code (currently only one
Embedding Area is supported, though the definition on disk allows for
more if needed in the future...).
Also, define FMT_EAS format flag to mark that the format actually
supports Embedding Areas (currently format-text only).
We'd like to use the fid mempool for text_context that is stored
in the instance (we used cmd mempool before, so the order of
initialisation was not a matter, but now it is since we need to
create the fid mempool first which happens in create_instance fn).
The text_context initialisation is not needed anywhere outside the
create_instance fn so move it there.
Add supporting functions to work with the format instance and metadata area
structures stored within the format instance. Add support for simple indexing
of metadata areas using PV id and mda order (for on-disk PV only for now, we
can extend the indexing even for other mdas if needed - we only need to define
a proper key for the index).
Allow metadataignore flag to be passed in to pvcreate.
Ideally, more refactoring of the mda allocation / initialization
is warranted, but for now, we just add another parameter to 'add_mda'
to take an existing mda ignored flag. We need to do this or pv_write
loses the state of the mda 'ignored' flag before copying and writing
to disk.
We'd like to pass in mda_header to vgname_from_mda(). In order to
do this, we need to call raw_read_mda_header() from text_label.c,
_text_read(), which gets called from the label_read() path, and
peers into the metadata and update vginfo cache. We should check
the disable bit here, and if set, not peer into the vg metadata,
thus reducing the I/O to disk.
In the process, move vgname_from_mda() to layout.h, since the fn
only gets called from format_text code, and we need the mda_header
definition from the private layout.h.

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.
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
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.
all since it only supports vg_write. It has been replaced with:
int archive_vg(struct volume_group *vg,
const char *dir,
const char *desc,
uint32_t retain_days,
uint32_t min_archive);
which is now called directly by tools/archive.c
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.
