As pmspare is an invisible LV it's not getting automatically removed
since vgremove removes only visible LVs and it depending LVs.
If there was no other thin/cache pool volume, such pmspare stayed
undeleted and caused command failure.
So handle explicitelly such forgotten pmspare and remove it.
The lvm2-pvscan service runs pvscan --cache -aay <dev> for
device addition, and pvscan --cache <dev> on device removal.
For event_activation=0, the addition does nothing. Fix
device removal to also do nothing for event_activation=0.
Device removal was previously doing some work to process
the removal which slowed down stopping lvm2-pvscan services.
related to config settings:
obtain_device_info_from_udev (controls if lvm gets
a list of devices from readdir /dev or from libudev)
external_device_info_source (controls if lvm asks
libudev for device information)
. Make the obtain_device_list_from_udev setting
affect only the choice of readdir /dev vs libudev.
The setting no longer controls if udev is used for
device type checks.
. Change obtain_device_list_from_udev default to 0.
This helps avoid boot timeouts due to slow libudev
queries, avoids reported failures from
udev_enumerate_scan_devices, and avoids delays from
"device not initialized in udev database" errors.
Even without errors, for a system booting with 1024 PVs,
lvm2-pvscan times improve from about 100 sec to 15 sec,
and the pvscan command from about 64 sec to about 4 sec.
. For external_device_info_source="none", remove all
libudev device info queries, and use only lvm
native device info.
. For external_device_info_source="udev", first check
lvm native device info, then check libudev info.
. Remove sleep/retry loop when attempting libudev
queries for device info. udev info will simply
be skipped if it's not immediately available.
. Only set up a libdev connection if it will be used by
obtain_device_list_from_udev/external_device_info_source.
. For native multipath component detection, use
/etc/multipath/wwids. If a device has a wwid
matching an entry in the wwids file, then it's
considered a multipath component. This is
necessary to natively detect multipath
components when the mpath device is not set up.

"pvscan: skip indexing devices used by LVs"
The dev cache index is expensive and slow, so limit it
to commands that are used to observe the state of lvm.
The index is only used to print warnings about incorrect
device use by active LVs, e.g. if an LV is using a
multipath component device instead of the multipath
device. Commands that continue to use the index and
print the warnings:
fullreport, lvmdiskscan, vgs, lvs, pvs,
vgdisplay, lvdisplay, pvdisplay,
vgscan, lvscan, pvscan (excluding --cache)
A couple other commands were borrowing the DEV_USED_FOR_LV
flag to just check if a device was actively in use by LVs.
These are converted to the new dev_is_used_by_active_lv().
dev_cache_index_devs() is taking a large amount of time
when there are many PVs. The index keeps track of
devices that are currently in use by active LVs. This
info is used to print warnings for users in some limited
cases.
The checks/warnings that are enabled by the index are not
needed by pvscan --cache, so disable it in this case.
This may be expanded to other cases in future commits.
dev_cache_index_devs should also be improved in another
commit to avoid the extreme delays with many devices.
Add profilable configurable setting for vdo pool header size, that is
used as 'extra' empty space at the front and end of vdo-pool device
to avoid having a disk in the system the may have same data is real
vdo LV.
For some conversion cases however we may need to allow using '0' header size.
TODO: in this case we may eventually avoid adding 'linear' mapping layer
in future - but this requires further modification over lvm code base.
When adding a device to the devices file with --adddev, lvm
by default chooses the best device ID type for the new device.
The new --deviceidtype option allows the user to override the
built in preference. This is useful if there's a problem with
the default type, or if a secondary type is preferrable.
If the specified deviceidtype does not produce a device ID,
then lvm falls back to the preference it would otherwise use.
Previously there have been necessary explicit call of backup (often
either forgotten or over-used). With this patch the necessity to
store backup is remember at vg_commit and once the VG is unlocked,
the committed metadata are automatically store in backup file.
This may possibly alter some printed messages from command when the
backup is now taken later.
Instead of calling explicit archive with command processing logic,
move this step towards 1st. vg_write() call, which will automatically
store archive of committed metadata.
This slightly changes some error path where the error in archiving
was detected earlier in the command, while now some on going command
'actions' might have been, but will be simply scratched in case
of error (since even new metadata would not have been even written).
So general effect should be only some command message ordering.
Calling clear_hint_file() to invalidate hints would acquire
the hints flock before the global flock which could cause deadlock.
The lock order requires the global lock to be taken first.
pvchange was always invalidating hints, which was unnecessary;
only invalidate hints when changing a PV uuid. Because of the
lock ordering, take the global lock before clear_hint_file which
locks the hints file.
When the device is not a PV print
"No PV found on device ..."
instead of
"Failed to read lvm info for ... PVID ."
an earlier check had been added with a different
message for the same condition.
error reading dev and no pvid on dev were both
returning 0. make it easier for callers to
know which, if they care.
return 1 if the device could be read, regardless
of whether a pvid was found or not.
set has_pvid=1 if a pvid is found and 0 if no
pvid is found.
If a cmd def implies an LV type without --type
in the required options, then include the implied
type in the cmd def as AUTOTYPE: <type>
instead of including the redundant --type foo
in the OO list of options.
Including an implied --type in the OO list would
often cause multiple cmd defs to potentially be
identical when options were used, and a user
command could match more than one cmd def.
The AUTOTYPE values are listed in man page and
help output as
[ --type foo (implied) ]
If a user command includes --type, it will usually
match a cmd def with --type in the required options.
But, if the user command matches a cmd def with
AUTOTYPE, then the specifed --type and AUTOTYPE must
match.
The man-generator program has a new --check
option that compares cmd defs to find any cmd defs
that are equivalent with the use of options,
and should have their options adjusted.
Compares cmd defs based on two principles for avoiding repeated
commands (where a given command could match more than one cmd def):
. a cmd def should be a unique combination of required
option args and position args
. avoid adding optional options to a cmd def that if
used would make the command match a different cmd def
FIXME: record when repeated cmd defs are found so we can
avoid reporting them twice, e.g. once for A vs B and
second time for B vs A.
Use #DEFAULT_SYS_DIR# replaceable string for devicesfile
so the man pages installation respects configured settings.
Update some missing lvm.conf(5) references.
Add missing VG into description of thin pool creation command.
Remove one duplicated thin-pool creation command.
Remove options --discards and --errorwhenfull from the list when the command describes
only creation of a thin volume - as these options do apply for thin-pool.
Also use here more correct name OO_LVCONVERT_THINPOOL instead of OO_LVCONVERT_THIN.
Reorder extra options for cache & thin-pool before common pool options.
Order consistenly --stripes and --stripesize after --extents option
so the options related to pools are better together.
Remove invalid snapshot creation description - since this case is
handled through our configurable spare volume creation.
Add some missing optional --type parameters for few command instancies.
Emit .ad l / .ad b less frequently around larger blocks
we want to keep left aligned.
Avoid emittting empty lines.
Reduce .HP usage and replace it with .TP.
However keep .HP for all option listings, as i.e. html rendering
can't handle well combintion of .TP an .HP together and .TP alone
is not indenting 2nd. line of long option line.
(For .TP line we don't need to emit .br)
Surround .SH with dots for better look.
For some .TP use plain more readable .I for a line.
Support rendering of optional [Number] (for --units).
Use better markup for units and instead of long markup string,
show individual units with markup.
Enhance man typography decoration of optional option
prefixes like --[raid]writebeind and use regular font to render []
as these are not part of the option name itself.
Previously, accepted LV types were presented as a series of suffixes
after the "LV" on the command line. The addition of many new types
resulted in this becoming too long, e.g
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool LV LV_linear_striped_thinpool_vdo_vdopool_vdopooldata_raid
For man pages, move these types from the command line to a new line
dedicated to listing accepted LV types:
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool LV LV1
...
LV1 types: linear striped thinpool vdo vdopool vdopooldata raid
The special "LV1" is used as a reference to avoid confusion
with other LVs that may appear on the command line. There
are currently no commands with more than one typed LV, but
if there are cases with more, then "LV2" could also be used.
For command line usage/-h output, drop the LV types from the
command line specification. The more detailed is not needed
in the help output and can be found in the man page.
This reverts commit 8e7690b798.
Actully this was bad idea - to make it on pair.
-Zn for thin-pools is already used - so here user must have
create new pool and swap existing thin-pool metadata into.
So reverting this commit to avoid any possible regression.
