to back this out so you can do that commit, let me know. Also, if there's
an issue with the error message that's displayed, just change it in tools.h.
This causes a "device-mapper driver/module not loaded?" error message to
be displayed for the commands that require dm-mod, if the tools can't get
the driver version. It's not done for commands that don't require dm-mod.
This should clear up some problems people have had attempting to use lvm2
without rtfm'ing.
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.
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
o There is now a _default_debug, and _default_verbose level, when
using lvm interactively -vv and -dd switches just effect the current
command.
o Added a --quiet switch which sets both verbose and debug to zero.
o Full signed arguments to lvreduce/lvextend
o Consistent lv_number/pe map use
o Populate pv->pe_allocated
o Fixes for allocation/writing of multiple LVs
