If the thin pool is known to be active, messages can be passed
to the pool even when the created thin volume is not going to be
activated.
So we do not need to stack large list of message and validate
and catch creation errors earlier in this case.
Replace the test for valid activation combination with simpler list of
deactivation combinations.
The activation/auto_set_activation_skip enables/disables automatic
adding of the ACTIVATION_SKIP LV flag. By default thin snapshots
are flagged to be skipped during activation.
And by default, the auto_set_activation_skip is enabled.
Also add -k/--setactivationskip y/n and -K/--ignoreactivationskip
options to lvcreate.
The --setactivationskip y sets the flag in metadata for an LV to
skip the LV during activation. Also, the newly created LV is not
activated.
Thin snapsots have this flag set automatically if not specified
directly by the --setactivationskip y/n option.
The --ignoreactivationskip overrides the activation skip flag set
in metadata for an LV (just for the run of the command - the flag
is not changed in metadata!)
A few examples for the lvcreate with the new options:
(non-thin snap LV => skip flag not set in MDA + LV activated)

Start separating the validation from the action in the basic lvresize
code moved to the library.
Remove incorrect use of command line error codes from lvresize library
functions. Move errors.h to tools directory to reinforce this,
exporting public versions of the error codes in lvm2cmd.h for dmeventd
plugins to use.
Fix and improve handling on sigint.
Always check for signal presence *before* calling of command,
so it will not call the command when break was hit.
If the command has been finished succesfully there is
no problem to mark the command ok and not report interrupt at all.
Fix cuple related stack; reports and assignments.
The pv resize code required that a lvm_vg_write be done
to commit the change. When the method to add the ability
to list all PVs, including ones that are not assocated with
a VG we had no way for the user to make the change persistent.
Thus additional resize code was move and now liblvm calls into
a resize function that does indeed write the changes out, thus
not requiring the user to explicitly write out he changes.

These settins are customizable by profiles:

If "vgcreate/lvcreate --profile <profile_name>" is used, the profile
name is automatically stored in metadata for making it possible to
load it automatically next time the VG/LV is used.
This is per VG/LV profile loading on demand. The profile itself is saved
in struct volume_group/logical_volume as "profile" field so we can
reference it whenever needed.

Changes:
- move device type registration out of "type filter" (filter.c)
to a separate and new dev-type.[ch] for common use throughout the code
- the structure for keeping the major numbers detected for available
device types and available partitioning available is stored in
"dev_types" structure now
- move common partitioning detection code to dev-type.[ch] as well
together with other device-related functions bound to dev_types
(see dev-type.h for the interface)
The dev-type interface contains all common functions used to detect
subsystems/device types, signature/superblock recognition code,
type-specific device properties and other common device properties
(bound to dev_types), including partitioning support.
- add dev_types instance to cmd context as cmd->dev_types for common use
- use cmd->dev_types throughout as a central point for providing
information about device types
Giving volume type information about being 'metadata' type of volume
has higher priority then i.e. 'mirror' or 'thin' flag - for those
type we have 'target attr' (7th. field).
The special suspend/resume code in lv_remove for LVM1 snapshots was interpsersed
with a vg_commit call. However, while with LVM1 metadata, vg_commit is
technically a no-op, the activation code relied on the ondisk and incore
metadata being the same, since on LVM1, a "commit" happens in vg_write
already. Since the "ondisk" metadata was previously not available with format1
(and incore was silently used instead, via lvmcache), the problem was masked.
Previously, we have relied on UUIDs alone, and on lvmcache to make getting a
"new copy" of VG metadata fast. If the code which triggers the activation has
the correct VG metadata at hand (the version which is currently on disk), it can
now hand it to the activation code directly.
This allows us to get the current on-disk version of the metadata whenever we
have the current in-flight version, without a recourse to scanning or lvmcache.
This patch adds the ability to set the minimum and maximum I/O rate for
sync operations in RAID LVs. The options are available for 'lvcreate' and
'lvchange' and are as follows:
--minrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
--maxrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
The rate is specified in size/sec/device. If a suffix is not given,
kiB/sec/device is assumed. Setting the rate to 0 removes the preference.
There is no point in creation of 2chunks snapshot,
since the snapshot is invalidated immeditelly with the first write
as there is no free chunk for COW blocks
(2 chunks are used by the snap header and the 1st. metadata chunk).
Enhance error message about the lowest usable size.
Avoid hitting memory corruption (double free) in code path,
where PV FID has been already destroyed and the released pointer
was left in PV structure and could have been tried to be released
from there 2nd. time with final context destruction.
There are places where 'lv_is_active' was being used where it was
more correct to use 'lv_is_active_locally'. For example, when checking
for the existance of a kernel instance before asking for its status.
Most of the time these would work correctly. (RAID is only allowed on
non-clustered VGs at the moment, which means that 'lv_is_active' and
'lv_is_active_locally' would give the same result.) However, it is
more correct to use the proper variant and it helps with future
scenarios where targets might be allowed exclusively (or clustered) in
a cluster VG.
This fixes a long standing regression since LVM2 2.02.74 (commit 4efb1d9c,
"Update heuristic used for default and detected data alignment.")
The default PE alignment could be used (via MAX()) even if it was
determined that the device's MD stripe width, or minimal_io_size or
optimal_io_size were not factors of the default PE alignment (either 64K
or the newer default of 1MB, etc). This bug would manifest if the
default PE alignment was larger than the overriding hint that the
device provided (e.g. default of 1MB vs optimal_io_size of 768K).

For reporting stacked or joined devices properly in cluster,
we need to report their activation state according the lock,
which activated this device tree.
This is getting a bit complex - current code tries simple approach -
For snapshot - return status for origin.
For thin pool - return status of the first known active thin volume.
For the rest of them - try to use dependency list of LVs and skip
known execptions. This should be able to recursively deduce top level
device for given LV.
(in release fix)
Add new lvs segment field 'Monitor' showing 3 states:
"monitored" - LV is monitored by dmeventd.
"not monitored" - LV is currently not being monitored by dmeventd
"" (empty) - LV does not support monitoring, or dmeventd support
is not compiled in.
Support for exclusive activation of snapshots revealed some problems.
When snapshot is created, COW LV is activated first (for clearing) and
then it's transformed into snapshot's COW LV, but it has left the lock
for such LV active in cluster and this lock could not have been removed
from dlm, unless snapshot has been removed within same dlm session.
If the user tried to remove snapshot after rebooting node, the lock was
missing, and COW LV could not have been detached.
Patch modifes the approach in this way:
Always deactivate COW LV for clustered vg after clearing (so it's
activated again via imlicit snapshot activation rule when snapshot is activated).
When snapshot is removed, activate COW LV as independend LV, so the lock
will exist for such LV, but only when the snapshot is active.
Also add test case for testing snapshot removal after cluster reboot.
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
New options to 'lvchange' allow users to scrub their RAID LVs.
Synopsis:
lvchange --syncaction {check|repair} vg/raid_lv
RAID scrubbing is the process of reading all the data and parity blocks in
an array and checking to see whether they are coherent. 'lvchange' can
now initaite the two scrubbing operations: "check" and "repair". "check"
will go over the array and recored the number of discrepancies but not
repair them. "repair" will correct the discrepancies as it finds them.
'lvchange --syncaction repair vg/raid_lv' is not to be confused with
'lvconvert --repair vg/raid_lv'. The former initiates a background
synchronization operation on the array, while the latter is designed to
repair/replace failed devices in a mirror or RAID logical volume.
Additional reporting has been added for 'lvs' to support the new
operations. Two new printable fields (which are not printed by
default) have been added: "syncaction" and "mismatches". These
can be accessed using the '-o' option to 'lvs', like:
lvs -o +syncaction,mismatches vg/lv
"syncaction" will print the current synchronization operation that the
RAID volume is performing. It can be one of the following:
- idle: All sync operations complete (doing nothing)
- resync: Initializing an array or recovering after a machine failure
- recover: Replacing a device in the array
- check: Looking for array inconsistencies
- repair: Looking for and repairing inconsistencies
The "mismatches" field with print the number of descrepancies found during
a check or repair operation.
The 'Cpy%Sync' field already available to 'lvs' will print the progress
of any of the above syncactions, including check and repair.
Finally, the lv_attr field has changed to accomadate the scrubbing operations
as well. The role of the 'p'artial character in the lv_attr report field
as expanded. "Partial" is really an indicator for the health of a
logical volume and it makes sense to extend this include other health
indicators as well, specifically:
'm'ismatches: Indicates that there are discrepancies in a RAID
LV. This character is shown after a scrubbing
operation has detected that portions of the RAID
are not coherent.
'r'efresh : Indicates that a device in a RAID array has suffered
a failure and the kernel regards it as failed -
even though LVM can read the device label and
considers the device to be ok. The LV should be
'r'efreshed to notify the kernel that the device is
now available, or the device should be 'r'eplaced
if it is suspected of failing.
The pv_by_path might be also dangerous to use as it does not
count with any other metadata areas but the ones found on the PV
itself. If metadata was not found on the PV referenced by the path,
it returned no PV though it might have been referenced by metadata
elsewhere (on other PVs...).
If extending a VG and including a PV with 0 MDAs that was already
a part of a VG, the vgextend allowed that PV to be added and we
ended up *with one PV in two VGs*!
The vgextend code used the 'pv_by_path' fn that returned a PV for
a given path. However, when the PV did not have any metadata areas,
the fn just returned a PV without any reference to existing VG.
Consequently, any checks for the existing VG failed.

Before, the find_pv_by_name call always failed if the PV found was orphan.
However, we might use this function even for a PV that is not part of any VG.
This patch adds 'allow_orphan' arg to find_pv_by_name fn that allows that.
_find_pv_by_name -> find_pv_by_name
_find_pv_in_vg -> find_pv_in_vg
_find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid -> find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid
The only callers of the underscored variants were their wrappers
without the underscore. No other part of the code referenced the
underscored variants.
Keep the flag whether given thin pool argument has been given on command
line or it's been 'estimated'
Call of update_pool_params() must not change cmdline given args and
needs to know this info.
Since there is a need to move this update function into /lib, we cannot
use arg_count().
FIXME: we need some generic mechanism here.
For example, the old call and reference:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, "devices/dir", DEFAULT_DEV_DIR)
...now becomes:
find_config_tree_str(cmd, devices_dir_CFG)
So we're referring to the named configuration ID instead
of passing the configuration path and the default value
is taken from central config definition in config_settings.h
automatically.
The PV header extension information (PV header extension version, flags
and list of Embedding Area locations) is stored just beyond the PV header base.
When calculating the Embedding Area start value (ea_start), the same logic is
used as when calculating the pe_start value for Data Area - the value must
follow exactly the same alignment restrictions for its start value
(the alignment detected automatically or provided via command line using
the --dataalignment and --dataalignmentoffset arguments).
The Embedding Area is placed at the very start of the PV, starting at
ea_start. The Data Area starting at pe_start is placed next. The pe_start is
still properly aligned. Due to the pe_start alignment, it's possible that the
resulting Embedding Area size (ea_size) ends up bigger in size than requested
(but never less than requested).
New tools with PV header extension support will read the extension
if it exists and it's not an error if it does not exist (so old PVs
will still work seamlessly with new tools).
Old tools without PV header extension support will just ignore any
extension.
As for the Embedding Area location information (its start and size),
there are actually two places where this is stored:
- PV header extension
- VG metadata
The VG metadata contains a copy of what's written in the PV header
extension about the Embedding Area location (NULL value is not copied):
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "AkSSRf-difg-fCCZ-NjAN-qP49-1zzg-S0Fd4T"
device = "/dev/sda" # Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 262144 # 128 Megabytes
pe_start = 67584
pe_count = 23 # 92 Megabytes
ea_start = 2048
ea_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes
}
}
The new metadata fields are "ea_start" and "ea_size".
This is mostly useful when restoring the PV by using existing
metadata backups (e.g. pvcreate --restorefile ...).
New tools does not require these two fields to exist in VG metadata,
they're not compulsory. Therefore, reading old VG metadata which doesn't
contain any Embedding Area information will not end up with any kind
of error but only a debug message that the ea_start and ea_size values
were not found.
Old tools just ignore these extra fields in VG metadata.
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).
Extract restorable PV creation parameters from struct pvcreate_params into
a separate struct pvcreate_restorable_params for clarity and also for better
maintainability when adding any new items later.
Use the field 'origin' for reporting external origin lv name.
For thin volumes with external origin, report the size of
external origin size via:
lvs -o+origin_size
If zero metadata copies are used, there's no further recalculation of
PV alignment that happens when adding metadata areas to the PV and
which actually calculates the alignment correctly as a matter of fact.
So fix this for "PV without MDA" case as well.
Before this patch:
[1] raw/~ # pvcreate --dataalignment 8m --dataalignmentoffset 4m
--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda

After this patch:

--metadatacopies 1 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start

--metadatacopies 0 /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[1] raw/~ # pvs -o pv_name,pe_start
PV 1st PE
/dev/sda 12.00m
Also, remove a superfluous condition "pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align" in:
if (pe_start == PV_PE_START_CALC && pv->pe_start < pv->pe_align)
pv->pe_start = pv->pe_align ...
This part of the condition is not reachable as with the PV_PE_START_CALC,
we always have pv->pe_start set to 0 from the PV struct initialisation
(...the pv->pe_start value is just being calculated).
When a device fails, we may wish to replace those segments with an
error segment. (Like when a 'vgreduce --removemissing' removes a
failed device that happens to be a RAID image/meta.) We are then left
with images that we will eventually want to remove or replace.
This patch allows us to pull out these virtual "error" sub-LVs. This
allows a user to 'lvconvert -m -1 vg/lv' to extract the bad sub-LVs.
Sub-LVs with error segments are considered for extraction before other
possible devices so that good devices are not accidentally removed.
This patch also adds the ability to replace RAID images that contain error
segments. The user will still be unable to run 'lvconvert --replace'
because there is no way to address the 'error' segment (i.e. no PV
that it is associated with). However, 'lvconvert --repair' can be
used to replace the image's error segment with a new PV. This is also
the most appropriate way to do it, since the LV will continue to be
reported as 'partial'.
Currently it is impossible to remove a failed PV which has a RAID LV
on it. This patch fixes the issue by replacing the failed PV with an
'error' segment within the affected sub-LVs. Once there is no longer
a RAID LV using the PV, it can be removed.
Most often, it is better to replace a failed RAID device with a spare.
(You can use 'lvconvert --repair <vg>/<LV>' to accomplish that.)
However, if there are no spares in the volume group and none will be
added, it is useful to be able to removed the failed device.
Following patches address the ability to perform 'lvconvert' operations
on RAID LVs that contain sub-LVs composed of 'error' segments.
We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes. Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting. We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
This internal function check for active pool device.
For cluster it checks every thin volume,
On the non-clustered VG we need to check just
for presence of -tpool device.
There are currently a few issues with the reporting done on RAID LVs and
sub-LVs. The most concerning is that 'lvs' does not always report the
correct failure status of individual RAID sub-LVs (devices). This can
occur when a device fails and is restored after the failure has been
detected by the kernel. In this case, 'lvs' would report all devices are
fine because it can read the labels on each device just fine.
Example:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-- 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
However, 'dmsetup status' on the device tells us a different story:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# dmsetup status vg-lv
0 1024000 raid raid1 2 DA 1024000/1024000
In this case, we must also be sure to check the RAID LVs kernel status
in order to get the proper information. Here is an example of the correct
output that is displayed after this patch is applied:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg
LV VG Attr Cpy%Sync Devices
lv vg rwi-a-r-p 100.00 lv_rimage_0(0),lv_rimage_1(0)
[lv_rimage_0] vg iwi-aor-p /dev/sda1(1)
[lv_rimage_1] vg iwi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(1)
[lv_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor-p /dev/sda1(0)
[lv_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdb1(0)
The other case where 'lvs' gives incomplete or improper output is when a
device is replaced or added to a RAID LV. It should display that the RAID
LV is in the process of sync'ing and that the new device is the only one
that is not-in-sync - as indicated by a leading 'I' in the Attr column.
(Remember that 'i' indicates an (i)mage that is in-sync and 'I' indicates
an (I)mage that is not in sync.) Here's an example of the old incorrect
behaviour:
[root@bp-01 lvm2]# lvs -a -o name,vg_name,attr,copy_percent,devices vg

[lv_rmeta_2] vg ewi-aor-- /dev/sdc1(0) ** Note that all the images currently are marked as 'I' even though it is
only the last device that has been added that should be marked.
Here is an example of the correct output after this patch is applied:

** Note only the last image is marked with an 'I'. This is correct and we can
tell that it isn't the whole array that is sync'ing, but just the new
device.
It also works under snapshots...

fmt1 doesn't have a separate commit function: updates take effect
immediately vg_write is called, so we must update lvmetad at this
point if we're going to go on and ask lvmetad for the VG metadata
again before calling the commit function (though that's probably an
unsupported and pointless thing to do anyway as the client must
already have that data and it cannot have changed because it's locked
and with devs suspended we shouldn't be communicating with lvmetad;
so when that's fixed properly, this fix here can be reverted).
This problem showed up as an internal error when lvremoving an LVM1
snapshot.

If a RAID array is not in-sync, replacing devices should not be allowed
as a general rule. This is because the contents used to populate the
incoming device may be undefined because the devices being read where
not in-sync. The kernel enforces this rule unless overridden by not
allowing the creation of an array that is not in-sync and includes a
devices that needs to be rebuilt.
Since we cannot know the sync state of an LV if it is inactive, we must
also enforce the rule that an array must be active to replace devices.
That leaves us with the following conditions:
1) never allow replacement or repair of devices if the LV is in-active
2) never allow replacement if the LV is not in-sync
3) allow repair if the LV is not in-sync, but warn that contents may
not be recoverable.
In the case where a user is performing the repair on the command line via
'lvconvert --repair', the warning is printed before the user is prompted
if they would like to replace the device(s). If the repair is automated
(i.e. via dmeventd and policy is "allocate"), then the device is replaced
if possible and the warning is printed.
If the lvmcache_info_from_pvid() fails to find valid
info, invoke the lookup by dev, and only in this case
call lvmcache_info_from_pvid() again.
Also check for the result of info and return
error directly, so the NULL is not passed
to lvmcache_get_label().
Commit bf2741376d started to use
lv_is_active() instead of call for lv_info & info.exists so
we cover also cluster activated devices.
For snapshost the conversion was not correct and introduced
regression by blocking creation of snapshot of inactive LV.
Fix it by assigning lv_is_active() directly.
Note: we still have minor issue to fix - to make
lv_is_???? function able to return error states since
lv_info() may fail.
Target tells us its version, and we may allow different set of options
to be supported with different version of driver.
Idea is to provide individual feature flags and later be
able to query for them.
The 'copy_percent' function takes the 'extents_copied' field from each
segment in an LV to create the numerator for the ratio that is to
become the copy_percent. (Otherwise known as the 'sync' percent for
non-pvmove uses, like mirror LVs and RAID LVs.) This function safely
works on RAID - not just mirrors - so it is better to have it in
lv_manip.c rather than mirror.c.
There's a lot of different functions that do a lot of different things
in lv_manip.c, so I placed the function near a function in lv_manip.c
that it was close to in metadata-exported.h. Different placement in the
file or a different name for the function may be useful.
Use log_warn to print non-fatal warning messages.
Use of log_error would confuse checker for testing
whether proper error has been reported for some real error.
A message is printed when the region_size of a RAID LV is adjusted
to allow for large (> ~1TB) LVs. The message wasn't very clear.
Hopefully, this is better.
It would be possible to activate a RAID LV exclusively in a cluster
volume group, but for now we do not allow RAID LVs to exist in a
clustered volume group at all. This has two components:
1) Do not allow RAID LVs to be created in a clustered VG
2) Do not allow changing a VG from single-machine to clustered
if there are RAID LVs present.
MD's bitmaps can handle 2^21 regions at most. The RAID code has always
used a region_size of 1024 sectors. That means the size of a RAID LV was
limited to 1TiB. (The user can adjust the region_size when creating a
RAID LV, which can affect the maximum size.) Thus, creating, extending or
converting to a RAID LV greater than 1TiB would result in a failure to
load the new device-mapper table.
Again, the size of the RAID LV is not limited by how much space is allocated
for the metadata area, but by the limitations of the MD bitmap. Therefore,
we must adjust the 'region_size' to ensure that the number of regions does
not exceed the limit. I've added code to do this when extending a RAID LV
(which covers 'create' and 'extend' operations) and when up-converting -
specifically from linear to RAID1.
We were using daemon_send_simple until now, but it is no longer adequate, since
we need to manipulate requests in a generic way (adding a validity token to each
request), and the tree-based request interface is much more suitable for this.
Don't try to issue discards to a missing PV to avoid segfault.
Prevent lvremove from removing LVs that have any part missing.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/857554
Failing to clear the LV_NOTSYNCED flag when converting a RAID1 LV to
linear can result in the flag being present after an upconvert - even
if the sync is performed when upconverting.
Mirrors do not allow upconverting if the LV has been created with --nosync.
We will enforce the same rule for RAID1. It isn't hugely critical, since
the portions that have been written will be copied over to the new device
identically from either of the existing images. However, the unwritten
sections may be different, causing the added image to be a hybrid of the
existing images.
Also, we are disallowing the addition of new images to a RAID1 LV that has
not completed the initial sync. This may be different from mirroring, but
that is due to the fact that the 'mirror' segment type "stacks" when adding
a new image and RAID1 does not. RAID1 will rebuild a newly added image
"inline" from the existant images, so they should be in-sync.
We cannot add images to a RAID array while it is not in-sync. The
kernel will simply reject the table, saying:
'rebuild' specified while array is not in-sync
Now we check to ensure the LV is in-sync before attempting image
additions.
It is necessary when creating a RAID LV to clear the new metadata areas.
Failure to do so could result in a prepopulated bitmap that would cause
the new array to skip syncing portions of the array. It is a requirement
that the metadata LVs be activated and cleared in the process of creating.
However in test mode, this requirement should be lifted - no new LVs should
be created or written to.
When printing a message for the user and the lv_segment pointer is available,
use segtype->ops->name() instead of segtype->name. This gives a better
user-readable name for the segment. This is especially true for the
'striped' segment type, which prints "linear" if there is an area_count of
one.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
This patch adds support for RAID10. It is not the default at this
stage. The user needs to specify '--type raid10' if they would like
RAID10 instead of stacked mirror over stripe.
