Update lvchange to allow change of 'zero' flag for thinpool.
Add support for changing discard handling.
N.B. from/to ignore could be only changed for inactive pool.
Add arg support for discard.
Add discard ignore, nopassdown, passdown (=default) support.
Flags could be set per pool.
lvcreate [--discard {ignore|no_passdown|passdown}] vg/thinlv
When --sysinit -a ay is used with vg/lvchange and lvmetad is up and running,
we should skip manual activation as that would be a useless step - all volumes
are autoactivated once all the PVs for a VG are present.
If lvmetad is not active at the time of the vgchange --sysinit -a ay
call, the activation proceeds in standard 'manual' way.
This way, we can still have vg/lvchange --sysinit -a ay called
unconditionally in system initialization scripts no matter if lvmetad
is used or not.
We're refererring to 'activation' all over the code and we're talking
about 'LVs being activated' all the time so let's use 'activation/activate'
everywhere for clarity and consistency (still providing the old
'available' keyword as a synonym for backward compatibility with
existing environments).
Support has many limitations and lots of FIXMEs inside,
however it makes initial task when user creates a separate LV for
thin pool data and thin metadata already usable, so let's enable
it for testing.
Easiest API:
lvconvert --chunksize XX --thinpool data_lv metadata_lv
More functionality extensions will follow up.
TODO: Code needs some rework since a lot of same code is getting copied.
Calling vgscan alone should reuse information from the lvmetad (if running).
The --cache option should initiate direct device scan and update lvmetad
appropriately (if running).
This is mainly for vgscan to behave consistently compared to pvscan.
Fix regression in man page. The chunk size is in kilobyte units on command line
input though in the source code we work with sector size unit
so make it clear in the man page.
Update chunksize for thin pool in man page - it's max value is 1024M == 1G.
Fix warning range message to show proper max value.
Hold global lock in pvscan --lvmetad. (This might need refinement.)
Add PV name to "PV gone" messages.
Adjust some log message severities. (More changes needed.)
Add 'blkdevname' and 'blkdevs_used' field to dmsetup info -c -o.
Add 'blkdevname' option to dmsetup ls --tree to see block device names.
Add '-o options' to dmsetup deps and ls to select device name type on output.
We want to keep this logic -
when LV is extend - extend the LV by at least given amount,
when LV is reduced - reduce the LV by at most given amount.
So for this the rounding needs to be used.
Current logic which seems to satisfy give rule is to round up all
extent values for LV resize upward except for values with '-' sign
that are round downward.
This patch also fixes the problem when lvextend --use-polices tried
to extend LV the by i.e. 20% - but the resulting 20% were smaller
the extent size thus before this patch no extension happened.
RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.
example> lvconvert --replace <dev_to_remove> vg/lv [possible_replacement_PVs]
'--replace' can be specified more than once.
example> lvconvert --replace /dev/sdb1 --replace /dev/sdc1 vg/lv
Any documentation less-detailed than Documentation/device-mapper is
dangerous for the non-trivial ctr lines. And anyway, this should be in s4
not here.
Use standard manpage style.
Keep options and commands in alphabetic order.
Added at least a very simply info about some other targets.
TODO: documenting targest needs far more work...
Split syntax for thin-pool since it cannot be fully matched with snapshot.
So to avoid more confusion - take thin support into separate line.
Though still significant updates are needed for thin provisioning.
Read 2 environmental vars to learn about overide position for
CLVMD and LVM binaries.
We support LVM_BINARY in other script - and this way we could easily
test restart in our test-suite.
Bugfix:
Add (most probably unfinished) support for -E arg with list of exclusive
locks. (During clvmd restart all exclusive locks would have been lost and
in fact, if there would have been an exclusive lock, usage text would be
printed and clvmd exits.)
Instead of parsing list options multiple times every time some lock UUID is
checked - put them straight into the hash table - make the code easier to
understand as well.
Remove was_ex_lock() function (replaced with dm_hash_lookup()).
Swap return value for get_initial_state() (1 means success).
Update man pages and usage info for -E option.
A gentle reminder that anyone relying on the output of reporting commands
like lvs in scripts must use -o to guarantee they get the fields they expect.
The default sequence of fields can change from release to release.
Equally, the 'attr' fields can have new values introduced and/or characters
appended to them.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv
The '--trackchanges' option allows a user the ability to use an image of
a RAID1 array for the purposes of temporary read-only access. The image
can be merged back into the array at a later time and only the blocks that
have changed in the array since the split will be resync'ed. This
operation can be thought of as a partial split. The image is never completely
extracted from the array, in that the array reserves the position the device
occupied and tracks the differences between the array and the split image via
a bitmap. The image itself is rendered read-only and the name (<LV>_rimage_*)
cannot be changed. The user can complete the split (permanently splitting the
image from the array) by re-issuing the 'lvconvert' command without the
'--trackchanges' argument and specifying the '--name' argument.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --name my_split vg/lv
Merging the tracked image back into the array is done with the '--merge'
option (included in a follow-on patch).
~> lvconvert --merge vg/lv_rimage_<n>
The internal mechanics of this are relatively simple. The 'raid' device-
mapper target allows for the specification of an empty slot in an array
via '- -'. This is what will be used if a partial activation of an array
is ever required. (It would also be possible to use 'error' targets in
place of the '- -'.) If a RAID image is found to be both read-only and
visible, then it is considered separate from the array and '- -' is used
to hold it's position in the array. So, all that needs to be done to
temporarily split an image from the array /and/ cause the kernel target's
bitmap to track (aka "mark") changes made is to make the specified image
visible and read-only. To merge the device back into the array, the image
needs to be returned to the read/write state of the top-level LV and made
invisible.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures

- ability to monitor RAID segment types

Add new function dm_task_set_add_node() to select between 2 types

DM_ADD_NODE_ON_RESUME is now default and ensures node is created on

In this case node would be created during dmsetup create --notable.
For the user 2 new options for dmsetup create are added:

This patch adds a vgmetadatacopies parameter for metadata balancing.
This parameter provides a simple way for users to create a policy for
placing metadata on PVs automatically by LVM. The behavior is implemented
inside LVM by managing the 'ignore' mda bits. We chose the name
'vgmetadatacopies' as this is a natural extension to the existing parameter
'pvmetadatacopies' / 'metadatacopies' in pvcreate.
This is a first step at VG parameter based metadata balancing. Most users
will probably want to state that they want a certain number of PVs to contain
metadata, and they may be less concerned about a specific number of metadata
copies in the volume group. However, for default values (pvmetadatacopies
is 1 by default), the number of metadatacopies in the volume group, and the
number of PVs with metadata are the same. In the future we could add
vgmetadatacopiespvs to define more specifically the number of pvs in the
VG that contain metadata, but for now we start with this parameter.
Another possible future extension would be to define a specific pv tag
to mark the set of PVs that should be used for metadata balancing. This
tag based approach could be used in conjunction with 'vgmetadatacopies'.

Patch is inspired by Debian's extra patch.
- removes OWNER & GROUP make vars they are parts of INSTALL command.
- adds INSTALL_PROGRAM for executable, uses $(INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_DATA for non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_WDATA for writable non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds configure option --enable-write_install - to support
installatin of writable files used by distribution
- replaces usage of ifeq @LIB_SUFFIX@ with $(LIB_SUFFIX)
- installs .a files from static builds without executable flag
- installs .a files to $(usrlibdir) instead of $(libdir)
- installs all static binaries to $(staticdir)
- create .so links for devel package in $(usrlibdir) instead of
$(libdir)
- makes .so and .so.LIB_VERSION files within builddir
- removes VERSIONED_SHLIB and created versioned LIB_SHARED automagicaly
- install LIB_SHARED via install_lib_shared target
- install plugins via install_lib_shared_plugin target
- prints whole 'install' command during installation instead of less
informative "Installing $(something) $(somewhere)"
- install multiple man pages with one INSTALL command
- use DISTCLEAN_TARGETS instead of creating multiple distclean targets
Usage of VPATH makes troubles when used within $(builddir).
Not only source files are being found through VPATH,
but targets as well. (make --debug=v)
Thus if user builds the code in $(srcdir) and also in some $(builddir)
he gets mangled results as some generated files (i.e. .export.sym)
are 'reused' from $(srcdir) instead of $(builddir).
This patch switches to use vpath were we could explicitly name
suffixes that should be looked via vpath - we must take care,
we do not generate files with these suffixes:
.c, .in, .po, .exported_symbols
in clvmd, dmevend, man, tests.

This check-in enables the 'mirrored' log type. It can be specified

include tests for the new log type, and some fixes to some of the

Switch lvconvert's --merge code over to using process_each_lv(). Doing
so adds support for a single 'lvconvert --merge' to start merging
multiple LVs (which includes @tag expansion).
Add 'lvconvert --merge @tag' testing to test/t-snapshot-merge.sh
Adjust man/lvconvert.8.in to reflect these expanded capabilities.
The lvconvert.c implementation requires rereading the VG each iteration
of process_each_lv(). Otherwise a stale VG instance associated with
the LV passed to lvconvert_single_merge() would result in stale VG
metadata being written back out to disk. This overwrote new metadata
that was written when a previous snapshot LV finished merging (via
lvconvert_poll). This is only an issue when merging multiple LVs that
share the same VG (a single VG is typical for most LVM configurations on
system disks).
In the end this new support is very useful for performing a "system
rollback" that requires multiple snapshot LVs be merged to their
respective origin LV.
The yum-utils 'fs-snapshot' plugin tags all snapshot LVs that it creates
with a common 'snapshot_tag' that is unique to the yum transaction.
Rolling back a yum transaction, that created LVM snapshots with the tag
'yum_20100129133223', is as simple as:
lvconvert --merge @yum_20100129133223

This is useful for when the snapshot is still active and merging hasn't
started yet; it shows a merge is pending. Once merging starts the
merging snapshot will be hidden but can still be displayed with 'lvs -a'
Report snapshot origin with merging snapshot as 'O' instead of 'o':
Before merge starts this shows that a merge is pending. While merging
the snapshot will be hidden, 'O' enables a user to see that there is a
snapshot merging.
It is pretty much the same as reducing the number of
mirror legs, but we just don't delete them afterwards.
The following command line interface is enforced:
prompt> lvconvert --splitmirror <n> -n <name> <VG>/<LV>
where 'n' is the number of images to split off, and
where 'name' is the name of the newly split off logical volume.
If more than one leg is split off, a new mirror will be the
result. The newly split off mirror will have a 'core' log.
Example:
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_1(0),lv_mimage_2(0),lv_mimage_3(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mimage_3] /dev/sde1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvconvert --splitmirrors 2 --name split vg/lv /dev/sd[ce]1
Logical volume lv converted.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_2(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
split 100.00 split_mimage_0(0),split_mimage_1(0)
[split_mimage_0] /dev/sde1(0)
[split_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
It can be seen that '--splitmirror <n>' is exactly the same
as '--mirrors -<n>' (note the minus sign), except there is the
additional notion to keep the image being detached from the
mirror instead of just throwing it away.

the background polldaemon is allowed to start. It can be used
standalone or in conjunction with --refresh or --available y.
Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly
important for snapshot-merge of a root filesystem.
Dracut will be updated to activate all LVs with: --poll n
The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y
NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background
polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and
have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor
initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s)
2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs
if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y'

Option --all is only partially documented currently, so document in all
commands. Also make {pv|vg|lv}{display|s} man pages consistent with help
output. Remove ununsed 'disk_ARG' parameter. Leave --trustcache out of
the man page output. Update --units argument to show all possible units.
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis. In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere. We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies. Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands). The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.
Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.
Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches. Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).
NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.
vgcreate and vgextend now implicitly call pvcreate on devices not
currently initialized for LVM use. Previously these commands would
fail with an error, so clarify the new behavior in the man page.
Slight functional change. If we open the destination first, we cannot
know the 'fmt'. In this case we use the default metadata type unless
the user has specified -M on the cmdline. If not, in most cases this
is fine since we use the LVM2 default metadata type. However, if the
user is specifying a non-default metadata type (e.g. lvm1) and the order
of the names is such that we have to open the destination (vg_to) first,
we have a problem. So in this case, we require the use of -M and vgsplit
will fail with an error if not. I've updated the man page to recommend
the usage of -M in this case.

Adds 'data_alignment_detection' config option to the devices section of

minimum_io_size is used if optimal_io_size is undefined (0). If both

optional. Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can also be chosen.
The lv_attr bits are:
Buildsystem support device-mapper only install,
but generic install tagret includes both dm+lvm2.
