Support --repair and --use-policies with mirrors.
(fixes another regression from lvconvert change for thin and cache).
TODO: the code path for mirror needs update.
Major update of lvconvert code to handle cache and thin.
related targets.
Code tries to unify handling of cache and thin pools.
Better supports lvm2 syntax:
lvconvert --type cache --cachepool vg/pool vg/cache
lvconvert --type thin --thinpool vg/pool vg/extorg
lvconvert --type cache-pool vg/pool
lvconvert --type thin-pool vg/pool
as well as:
lvconvert --cache --cachepool vg/pool vg/cache
lvconvert --thin --thinpool vg/pool vg/extorg
lvconvert --cachepool vg/pool
lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool
While catching much more command line errors.
(Yet couple paths still needs more tests)
Detects as much cmdline errors prior opening VG.
Uses single lvconvert_name_params to convert LV names.
Detects as much incompatibilies in VG prior prompting.
Uses single prompt to confirm whole conversion.
TODO: still the code needs fixes...
Since the type passed LV is changed and content of data detroyed,
query user with prompt to confirm this operation.
Also add a proper wiping of header.
Using '--yes' will skip this prompt:
lvconvert -s --yes vg/lv vg/lvcow
If the lv_info call fails for whatever reason/INFO dm ioctl fails or
the dm driver communication is disabled (--driverloaded n), make
sure we always display "unknown" for LVSINFO fields as that's exactly
what happens - we don't know the state.
Before the patch:
$ lvs -o name,device_open --driverloaded n
WARNING: Activation disabled. No device-mapper interaction will be attempted.
Command failed with status code 5.
With this patch applied:
$ lvs -o name,device_open --driverloaded n
WARNING: Activation disabled. No device-mapper interaction will be attempted.
LV DevOpen
lvol1 unknown
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
There was missing lv_info call for situations where there were
mixed PV/LV segment fields together with LVSINFO fields which
require extra lv_info call for LV device status. This ended up
with NULL lvinfo passed to the field reporting functions, hence
the segfault.
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.
LVSINFO is exactly the same as existing LVS report type,
but it has the "struct lvinfo" populated in addition for
use - this is useful for fields that display the status
of the LV device itself (e.g. suspended state, tables
present/missing...).
Currently, such properties are reported within the "lv_attr"
field so separation is unnecessary - the "lvinfo" call
to populate the "struct lvinfo" is directly a part of the
field reporting function - _lvstatus_disp/lv_attr_dup.
With upcoming patches, we'd like the lv_attr field bits
to be separated into their own fields. To avoid calling
"lvinfo" fn as many times as there are fields requiring
the "lv_info" structure to be populated while reporting
one row related to one LV, we're separating former LVS
into LVS and LVSINFO report type. With this, there's
just one "lvinfo" call for one report row and LV reporting
fields will take the info needed from this struct then,
hence reusing it and not calling "lvinfo" fn on their own.
Mention parent LV as well as the LV triggering the warning.
Still leaves some confusing cases but its not worth fixing them
at the moment.
(Thin pool inactive but a thin volume active => deactivate thin vol.
Inactive mirror/raid with pvmove in progress => complete pvmove and
active&deactivate mirror/raid.
If new VG already exists it requires some LVs to be inactive
unnecessarily.)
mirror_or_raid_type_requested really checks for mirror type.
Convert macros mirror_or_raid_type_requested() and
snapshot_type_requested() into inline functions.
Since vg_name inside /lib function has already been ignored mostly
except for a few debug prints - make it and official internal API
feature.
vg_name is used only in /tools while the VG is not yet openned,
and when lvresize/lvcreate /lib function is called with VG pointer
already being used, then vg_name becomes irrelevant (it's not been
validated anyway).
So any internal user of lvcreate_params and lvresize_params does not
need to set vg_name pointer and may leave it NULL.
Making "help" and "?" implicit also simplifies code since the
dm_report_init caller (lvm/dmsetup) doesn't need to check on
dm_report_init return whether "help" or "?" was hit while parsing
fields/sort keys in libdevmapper.
The libdevmapper now sets internal "RH_ALREADY_REPORTED" flag
after it reports the "help" or "?" implicit field. Then libdevmapper
itself checks for this flag in dm_report_object and if found,
the actual reporting is skipped (because the "help" implicit field
was reported instead of the actual report).
pvmove can be used to move single LVs by name or multiple LVs that
lie within the specified PV range (e.g. /dev/sdb1:0-1000). When
moving more than one LV, the portions of those LVs that are in the
range to be moved are added to a new temporary pvmove LV. The LVs
then point to the range in the pvmove LV, rather than the PV
range.
Example 1:
We have two LVs in this example. After they were
created, the first LV was grown, yeilding two segments
in LV1. So, there are two LVs with a total of three
segments.
Before pvmove:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
After pvmove inserts the temporary pvmove LV:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
Each of the affected LV segments now point to a
range of blocks in the pvmove LV, which purposefully
corresponds to the segments moved from the original
LVs into the temporary pvmove LV.
The current implementation goes on from here to mirror the temporary
pvmove LV by segment. Further, as the pvmove LV is activated, only
one of its segments is actually mirrored (i.e. "moving") at a time.
The rest are either complete or not addressed yet. If the pvmove
is aborted, those segments that are completed will remain on the
destination and those that are not yet addressed or in the process
of moving will stay on the source PV. Thus, it is possible to have
a partially completed move - some LVs (or certain segments of LVs)
on the source PV and some on the destination.
Example 2:
What 'example 1' might look if it was half-way
through the move.
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
| -------------------------
source PV | | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
| -------------------------
| ||
-------------------------
dest PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
-------------------------
This update allows the user to specify that they would like the
pvmove mirror created "by LV" rather than "by segment". That is,
the pvmove LV becomes an image in an encapsulating mirror along
with the allocated copy image.
Example 3:
A pvmove that is performed "by LV" rather than "by segment".
--------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 |
--------- ---------
| |
-------------------------
pvmove0 | * LV-level mirror * |
-------------------------
/ \
pvmove_mimage0 / pvmove_mimage1
------------------------- -------------------------
| seg 0 | seg 1 | | seg 0 | seg 1 |
------------------------- -------------------------
| | | |
------------------------- -------------------------
| 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
------------------------- -------------------------
source PV dest PV
The thing that differentiates a pvmove done in this way and a simple
"up-convert" from linear to mirror is the preservation of the
distinct segments. A normal up-convert would simply allocate the
necessary space with no regard for segment boundaries. The pvmove
operation must preserve the segments because they are the critical
boundary between the segments of the LVs being moved. So, when the
pvmove copy image is allocated, all corresponding segments must be
allocated. The code that merges ajoining segments that are part of
the same LV when the metadata is written must also be avoided in
this case. This method of mirroring is unique enough to warrant its
own definitional macro, MIRROR_BY_SEGMENTED_LV. This joins the two
existing macros: MIRROR_BY_SEG (for original pvmove) and MIRROR_BY_LV
(for user created mirrors).
The advantages of performing pvmove in this way is that all of the
LVs affected can be moved together. It is an all-or-nothing approach
that leaves all LV segments on the source PV if the move is aborted.
Additionally, a mirror log can be used (in the future) to provide tracking
of progress; allowing the copy to continue where it left off in the event
there is a deactivation.
Make dm_report_init_with_selection to accept an argument with an
array of reserved values where each element contains a triple:
{dm report field type, reserved value, array of strings representing this value}
When the selection is parsed, we always check whether a string
representation of some reserved value is not hit and if it is,
we use the reserved value assigned for this string instead of
trying to parse it as a value of certain field type.
This makes it possible to define selections like:
... --select lv_major=undefined (or -1 or unknown or undef or whatever string representations are registered for this reserved value in the future)
... --select lv_read_ahead=auto
... --select vg_mda_copies=unmanaged
With this, each time the field value of certain type is hit
and when we compare it with the selection, we use the proper
value for comparison.
For now, register these reserved values that are used at the moment
(also more descriptive names are used for the values):
const uint64_t _reserved_number_undef_64 = UINT64_MAX;
const uint64_t _reserved_number_unmanaged_64 = UINT64_MAX - 1;
const uint64_t _reserved_size_auto_64 = UINT64_MAX;
{
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_undef_64, {"-1", "undefined", "undef", "unknown", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUMBER, _reserved_number_unmanaged_64, {"unmanaged", NULL}},
{DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_SIZE, _reserved_size_auto_64, {"auto", NULL}},
NULL
}
Same reserved value of different field types do not collide.
All arrays are null-terminated.
The list of reserved values is automatically displayed within
selection help output:
Selection operands
------------------
...
Reserved values
---------------
-1, undefined, undef, unknown - Reserved value for undefined numeric value. [number]
unmanaged - Reserved value for unmanaged number of metadata copies in VG. [number]
auto - Reserved value for size that is automatically calculated. [size]
Selection operators
-------------------
...
The "<lvm command> -S/--select help" shows help (including list of fields to match against):
...field list here including the field type name...
Selection operands
------------------
field - Reporting field.
number - Non-negative integer value.
size - Floating point value with units specified.
string - Characters quoted by ' or " or unquoted.
string list - Strings enclosed by [ ] and elements delimited by either
"all items must match" or "at least one item must match" operator.
regular expression - Characters quoted by ' or " or unquoted.
Selection operators
-------------------
Comparison operators:
=~ - Matching regular expression.
!~ - Not matching regular expression.
= - Equal to.
!= - Not equal to.
>= - Greater than or equal to.
> - Greater than
<= - Less than or equal to.
< - Less than.
Logical and grouping operators:
&& - All fields must match
, - All fields must match
|| - At least one field must match
# - At least one field must match
! - Logical negation
( - Left parenthesis
) - Right parenthesis
[ - List start
] - List end
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).
This makes it easier to check against the fields (following patches for
report selection) and check whether size units are allowed or not
with the field value.
Use NAME_LEN constant to simplify creation of device name.
Since the max size should be already tested in validation,
throw INTERNAL_ERROR if the size of vg/lv is bigger then NAME_LEN.
Let's use the size of origin as the real base for percenta calculation,
and 'silenly' add needed metadata space for snapshot.
So now command 'lvcreate -s -l100%ORIGIN vg/lv' should always create a
snapshot to handle full device overwrite.
Expresing -lXX%LV is not valid for snapshot, but error message for
snapshost case was not complete and missed %ORIGIN.
Also document correct settings for in manpage properly where
it missed %PVS.
While polling for snapshot, detect first the snapshot still
exits. It's valid to have multiple polling threads watching
for the same thing and just 1 can 'win' the finish part.
All others should nicely 'fail'.
If the we are polling an LV due to some sort of conversion and it
becomes inactive, a rather worrisome message is produced, e.g.:
" ABORTING: Mirror percentage check failed."
We can cleanly exit if we do a simple check to see if the LV is
active before performing the check. This eliminates the scary
message.
Internal reporting function cannot handle NULL reporting value,
so ensure there is at least dummy label.
So move dummy_lable from tools/reporter.c and use it for all
report_object() calls in lib/report/report.c.
(Fixes RHBZ 1108394)
Simlify lvm_report_object initialization.
And use ifdefs there, not exposing it in the tool code itself.
Later in the future, we should probably make the PIDFILE and
daemon checking code available also in case the daemon itself
is not built.
If the user supplies a '--yes' argument, then don't bother them with
a question to confirm whether to change the cluster attribute (even
if clvmd isn't running).
If clvmd is not running or the locking type is not clustered and someone
attempts to set the cluster attribute on a volume group, prompt them to
see if they are sure. (Only prompt for one though. If neither are true,
simply ask them once.)
Warn when --udevcookie/DM_UDEV_COOKIE is used with 'dmsetup remove --force'.
When command is doing multiple ioctl operations on a single device,
it may invoke udev activity, that is colliding with further ioctl commands.
The result of such operation becomes unpredictable.
Use of --retry could partially help...
LVM has restricter character set that is allowed for VG-LV names
and the dm names constructed do not contain any blacklisted characters
that would require name mangling.
Also, when any other device-mapper device is scanned that could
possibly contain such blacklisted characters, we reference the
device by its major:minor instead of dm name (e.g. _device_is_usable fn).
Warn user before converting volume to different type.
WARNING: Converting vg/lvol0 logical volume to pool's meta/data volume.
THIS WILL DESTROY CONTENT OF LOGICAL VOLUME (filesystem etc.)
Since the content of volume is lost we have to query user to confirm
such operation. If user is 100% sure, he may use '--yes' to avoid prompts.
The dumpconfig now understands --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile
The --commandprofile and --profile functionality is almost the same
with only one difference and that is that the --profile is just used
for dumping the content, it's not applied for the command itself
(while the --commandprofile profile is applied like it is done for
any other LVM command).
We also allow --metadataprofile for dumpconfig - dumpconfig *does not*
touch VG/LV and metadata in any way so it's OK to use it here (just for
dumping the content, checking the profile validity etc.).
The validity of the profile can be checked with:
dumpconfig --commandprofile/--profile/--metadataprofile --validate
...depending on the profile type.
Also, mention --config in the dumpconfig help string so users know
that dumpconfig handles this too (it did even before, but it was not
documented in the help string).
- When defining configuration source, the code now uses separate
CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA markers
(before, it was just CONFIG_PROFILE that did not make the
difference between the two). This helps when checking the
configuration if it contains correct set of options which
are all in either command-profilable or metadata-profilable
group without mixing these groups together - so it's a firm
distinction. The "command profile" can't contain
"metadata profile" and vice versa! This is strictly checked
and if the settings are mixed, such profile is rejected and
it's not used. So in the end, the CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND
set of options and CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA are mutually exclusive
sets.
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also
determine the way these configuration sources are positioned
in the configuration cascade which is now:
CONFIG_STRING -> CONFIG_PROFILE_COMMAND -> CONFIG_PROFILE_METADATA -> CONFIG_FILE/CONFIG_MERGED_FILES
- Marking configuration with one or the other marker will also make
it possible to issue a command context refresh (will be probably
a part of a future patch) if needed for settings in global profile
set. For settings in metadata profile set this is impossible since
we can't refresh cmd context in the middle of reading VG/LV metadata
and for each VG/LV separately because each VG/LV can have a different
metadata profile assinged and it's not possible to change these
settings at this level.
- When command profile is incorrect, it's rejected *and also* the
command exits immediately - the profile *must* be correct for the
command that was run with a profile to be executed. Before this
patch, when the profile was found incorrect, there was just the
warning message and the command continued without profile applied.
But it's more correct to exit immediately in this case.
- When metadata profile is incorrect, we reject it during command
runtime (as we know the profile name from metadata and not early
from command line as it is in case of command profiles) and we
*do continue* with the command as we're in the middle of operation.
Also, the metadata profile is applied directly and on the fly on
find_config_tree_* fn call and even if the metadata profile is
found incorrect, we still need to return the non-profiled value
as found in the other configuration provided or default value.
To exit immediately even in this case, we'd need to refactor
existing find_config_tree_* fns so they can return error. Currently,
these fns return only config values (which end up with default
values in the end if the config is not found).
- To check the profile validity before use to be sure it's correct,
one can use :
lvm dumpconfig --commandprofile/--metadataprofile ProfileName --validate
(the --commandprofile/--metadataprofile for dumpconfig will come
as part of the subsequent patch)
- This patch also adds a reference to --commandprofile and
--metadataprofile in the cmd help string (which was missing before
for the --profile for some commands). We do not mention --profile
now as people should use --commandprofile or --metadataprofile
directly. However, the --profile is still supported for backward
compatibility and it's translated as:
--profile == --metadataprofile for lvcreate, vgcreate, lvchange and vgchange
(as these commands are able to attach profile to metadata)
--profile == --commandprofile for all the other commands
(--metadataprofile is not allowed there as it makes no sense)
- This patch also contains some cleanups to make the code handling
the profiles more readable...
The dumpconfig reuses existing config_def_check results in case
the check is done during general lvm command context initialization
(when enabled by config/checks=1) so dumpconfig does not need to run
the same check again during its execution, hence saving some time.
However, we don't check for differences from defaults during general
lvm command initialization as it's useless at that time. It makes
sense only in case when such a check is directly requested (like in
the case of lvm dumpconfig --type diff). We need to take care that
the reused information was already produced with this "diff" checking
before and if not, we need to force the check so the check status also
gathers the new "diff" info now.
Also, do not do diff checking for any other dumpconfig command that
is run after dumpconfig --type diff.
When cmd refresh is called, we need to move any already loaded profiles
to profiles_to_load list which will cause their reload on subsequent
use. In addition to that, we need to take into account any change
in config/profile configuration setting on cmd context refresh
since this setting could be overriden with --config.
Also, when running commands in the shell, we need to remove the
global profile used from the configuration cascade so the profile
is not incorrectly reused next time when the --profile option is
not specified anymore for the next command in the shell.
This bug only affected profile specified by --profile cmd line
arg, not profiles referenced from LVM metadata.
Before, the cft_check_handle used to direct configuration checking
was part of cmd_context. It's better to attach this as part of the
exact config tree against which the check is done. This patch moves
the cft_check_handle out of cmd_context and it attaches it to the
config tree directly as dm_config_tree->custom->config_source->check_handle.
This change makes it easier to track the config tree check results
and provides less space for bugs as the results are directly attached
to the tree and we don't need to be cautious whether the global value
is correct or not (and whether it needs reinitialization) as it was
in the case when the cft_check_handle was part of cmd_context.
Share DM_REPORT_FIELD_RESERVED_NAME_{HELP,HELP_ALT} between libdm and
any libdm user to handle reserved field names, in this case the virtual
field name to show help instead of failing on unrecognized field.
The libdm user also needs to check the field name so it can fire
proper code in this case (cleanup, exit etc.).
When showing ACTIVE status for snapshot's origin,
avoid testing all its snapshot - it's not useful
to tell user origin is inactivate, while it's clearly
available and running - just one of its snapshot leg
is invalid...
While the 'raid1/10' segment types were being handled inadvertently
by '_move_mirrors()', the parity RAIDs were not being properly checked
to ensure that the user had specified all necessary PVs when moving
them. Thus, internal errors were being triggered when only part of
a RAID LV was moved to the new VG. I've added a new function,
'_move_raid()', which properly checks over any affected RAID LVs and
ensures that all the necessary PVs are being moved.
Config variables that are processed during setup prior to calling into
particular tools must not be accessed directly afterwards in case the
values already got overridden.
_process_config() already used the tests I'm removing here to call
lvmetad_set_active() and set up lvmetad_used().
There were two bugs before when using pvcreate --restorefile together
with data alignment and its offset specified:
- the --dataalignment was always ignored due to missing braces in the
code when validating the divisibility of supplied --dataalignment
argument with pe_start which we're just restoring:
if (pp->rp.pe_start % pp->data_alignment)
log_warn("WARNING: Ignoring data alignment %" PRIu64
" incompatible with --restorefile value (%"
PRIu64").", pp->data_alignment, pp->rp.pe_start);
pp->data_alignment = 0
The pp->data_alignment should be zeroed only if the pe_start is not
divisible with data_alignment.
- the check for compatibility of restored pe_start was incorrect too
since it did not properly count with the dataalignmentoffset that
could be supplied together with dataalignment
The proper formula is:
X * dataalignment + dataalignmentoffset == pe_start
So it should be:
if ((pp->rp.pe_start % pp->data_alignment) != pp->data_alignment_offset) {
...ignore supplied dataalignment and dataalignment offset...
}
This test for LV name restriction check name of device is below 128
chars (which is enforced by dm target).
Thus it should not count with device name.
(Though the test for PATH_MAX size should be probably also added,
but this is runtime test, since theoretically devpath might differ in cluster)
It's unclear why we should prohibit use of -v output.
So reenable (like with other 'display' tools)
But -c -m is really unsupported - return invalid cmd.
Commit 1a832398a7 moved
some code from _pvchange_single() to main pvchange() and
introduced exit code regression as return codes have not
been properly changed, thus pvchange command exited
with '0' exit code, even though it has reported error.
Also there is a missing vg unlock in error path.
Fix it by counting the total number of expected calls before
checking for pvname and also unlock and relase vg when
pv is not found.
Since commit f12ee43f2e call destroy,
it start to check all VGs are unlocked. However when we become_daemon,
we simply reset locking (since lock is still kept by parent process).
So implement a simple 'reset' flag.
pvscan --uuid was broken since it was using only 128 char buffers
without checking any write size, so any longer device path leads to
crash.
Also ansure format is properly aligned into columns with this option.
Check whether lvm dumpconfig --mergedconfig is used only
with --type current (where we're merging current config and
the config supplied on command line). With other types
the config was merged, but it was thrown away since we're
generating other type of config anyway. This lead to a memleak.
Error out if --mergedconfig is used with anything else than
--type current (or without specifying --type in which case
the --type current is used by default).
Delay archiving of metadata until we really start to
update metadata when converting volume into a snapshot.
Archive is not necessary when we abort operation early.
Do not allow conversion of too small LV into a COW snapshot device.
Without this patch snapshot target is generating these kernel
messages before creation fails:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-9: rw=16, want=8, limit=2
attempt to access beyond end of device
...
device-mapper: table: 253:11: snapshot: Failed to read snapshot metadata
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: Input/output error
Usage of origin as a snapshot 'COW' volume is unsupported.
Without this test lvm2 is able to generate this ugly internal error message.
To test this:
lvcreate -L1 -n lv1 vg
lvcreate -L1 -n lv2 -s vg/lv1
lvcreate -L1 -n lv3 vg
lvconvert -s vg/lv3 vg/lv1
Internal error: LVs (5) != visible LVs (1) + snapshots (1) + internal LVs (0) in VG vg
This prevents numerous VG refreshes on each "pvscan --cache -aay" call
if the VG is found complete. We need to issue the refresh only if the PV:
- is new
- was gone before and now it reappears (device "unplug/plug back" scenario)
- the metadata has changed
Don't add blkid to every linkage.
Link udev library just with lvm tools.
Drop extra linkage of udev library, since deps from libdevmapper
are already resolved in linked -ldevmapper.
Based on patch:

The CPPFunction typedef (among others) have been deprecated in favour of
specific prototyped typedefs since readline 4.2 (circa 2001).
It's been working since because compatibility typedefs have been in
place until they where removed in the recent readline 6.3 release.
Switch to the new style to avoid build breakage.
But also add full backward compatibility with define.

Previously, we declared a default value as undefined ("NULL") for
settings which require runtime context to be set first (e.g. settings
for paths that rely on SYSTEM_DIR environment variable or they depend
on any other setting in some way).
If we want to output default values as they are really used in runtime,
we should make it possible to define a default value as function which
is evaluated, not just providing a firm constant value as it was before.
This patch defines simple prototypes for such functions. Also, there's
new helper macros "cfg_runtime" and "cfg_array_runtime" - they provide
exactly the same functionality as the original "cfg" and "cfg_array"
macros when defining the configuration settings in config_settings.h,
but they don't set the constant default value. Instead, they automatically
link the configuration setting definition with one of these functions:
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_BOOL) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef int (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_INT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef float (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_FLOAT) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_STRING) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
typedef const char* (*t_fn_CFG_TYPE_ARRAY) (struct cmd_context *cmd, struct profile *profile);
(The new macros actually set the CFG_DEFAULT_RUNTIME flag properly and
set the default value link to the function accordingly).
Then such configuration setting requires a function of selected type to
be defined. This function has a predefined name:
get_default_<id>
...where the <id> is the id of the setting as defined in
config_settings.h. For example "backup_archive_dir_CFG" if defined
as a setting with default value evaluated in runtime with "cfg_runtime"
will automatically have "get_default_backup_archive_dir_CFG" function
linked to this setting to get the default value.
When read-only snapshot was created, tool was skipping header
initialization of cow device. If it happened device has been
already containing header from some previous snapshot, it's
been 'reused' for a newly created snapshot instead of being cleared.
To make "lvm dumpconfig --type default" output to be usable like any
other config, we need to comment out lines that have no default value
defined. Otherwise, we'd have the output with config options
with blank or zero values which is not the same as when the value
is not defined! And such configuration can't be feed into lvm again
without further edits. So let's fix this.
Currently this covers these configuration options exactly:
devices/loopfiles
devices/preferred_names
devices/filter
devices/global_filter
devices/types
allocation/cling_tag_list
global/format_libraries
global/segment_libraries
activation/volume_list
activation/auto_activation_volume_list
activation/read_only_volume_list
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/dirs
metadata/disk_areas
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/start_sector
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id
tags/<tag>
tags/<tag>/host_list
The code seems to work fine for the most trivial case - moving a
simple cache LV. However, it can cause problems when trying to
split out other LVs on different VGs and there hasn't been sufficient
testing for LV stacks that contain cache to enable the code. So,
we actively disable what is already broken and wait for the next
release to fix it.
Start to convert percentage size handling in lvresize to the new
standard. Note in the man pages that this code is incomplete.
Fix a regression in non-percentage allocation in my last check in.
This is what I am aiming for:
-l<extents>
-l<percent> LV/ORIGIN
sets or changes the LV size based on the specified quantity
of logical logical extents (that might be backed by
a higher number of physical extents)
-l<percent> PVS/VG/FREE
sets or changes the LV size so as to allocate or free the
desired quantity of physical extents (that might amount to a
lower number of logical extents for the LV concerned)
-l+50%FREE - Use up half the remaining free space in the VG when
carrying out this operation.
-l50%VG - After this operation, this LV should be using up half the
space in the VG.
-l200%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l+100%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l-50%LV - Reduce the logical size of this LV by half.
Test raid10 availability as a target feature (instead of doing
it in all the places where raid10 should be checked).
TODO: activation needs runtime validation - so metadata with raid10
are skipped from activation in user-friendly way in lvm2.
Skip over LVs that have a cache LV in their tree of LV dependencies
when performing a pvmove.
This means that users cannot move a cache pool or a cache LV's origin -
even when that cache LV is used as part of another LV (e.g. a thin pool).
The new test (pvmove-cache-segtypes.sh) currently builds up various LV
stacks that incorporate cache LVs. pvmove tests are then performed to
ensure that cache related LVs are /not/ moved. Once pvmove is enabled
for cache, those tests will switch to ensuring that the LVs /are/
moved.
Several fixes for the recent changes that treat allocation percentages
as upper limits.
Improve messages to make it easier to see what is happening.
Fix some cases that failed with errors when they didn't need to.
Fix crashes when first_seg() returns NULL.
Remove a couple of log_errors that were actually debugging messages.
Remove 'skip' argument passed into the function.
We always used '0' - as this is the only supported
option (-K) and there is no complementary option.
Also add some testing for behaviour of skipping.
There are typically 2 functions for the more advanced segment types that
deal with parameters in lvcreate.c: _get_*_params() and _check_*_params().
(Not all segment types name their functions according to this scheme.)
The former function is responsible for reading parameters before the VG
has been read. The latter is for sanity checking and possibly setting
parameters after the VG has been read.
This patch adds a _check_raid_parameters() function that will determine
if the user has specified 'stripe' or 'mirror' parameters. If not, the
proper number is computed from the list of PVs the user has supplied or
the number that are available in the VG. Now that _check_raid_parameters()
is available, we move the check for proper number of stripes from
_get_* to _check_*.
This gives the user the ability to create RAID LVs as follows:
# 5-device RAID5, 4-data, 1-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 4')
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# 5-device RAID6, 3-data, 2-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 3')
~> lvcreate --type raid6 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# If 5 PVs in VG, 4-data, 1-parity RAID5
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg
Considerations:
This patch only affects RAID. It might also be useful to apply this to
the 'stripe' segment type. LVM RAID may include RAID0 at some point in
the future and the implicit stripes would apply there. It would be odd
to have RAID0 be able to auto-determine the stripe count while 'stripe'
could not.
The only draw-back of this patch that I can see is that there might be
less error checking. Rather than informing the user that they forgot
to supply an argument (e.g. '-i'), the value would be computed and it
may differ from what the user actually wanted. I don't see this as a
problem, because the user can check the device count after creation
and remove the LV if they have made an error.
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms. If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.
One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg
Users now have the ability to convert their existing logical volumes
into cached logical volumes. A cache pool LV must be specified using
the '--cachepool' argument. The cachepool is the small, fast LV used
to cache the large, slow LV that is being converted.
This patch allows users to convert existing logical volumes into
cache pool LVs. Since cache pool LVs consist of data and metadata
sub-LVs, there is also the '--poolmetadata' (similar to thin_pool)
which allows for the specification of the metadata device.
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools. Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs. They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.
Avoid use of external origin with size unaligned/incompatible with
thin pool chunk size, since the last chunk is not correctly provisioned
when it is overwritten.
Avoid starting conversion of the LV to the thin pool and thin volume
at the same time. Since this is mostly a user mistake, do not try
to just convert to one of those type, since we cannot assume if the
user wanted LV to become thin volume or thin pool.
Before the fix tool reported pretty strange internal error:
Internal error: Referenced LV lvol1_tdata not listed in VG mvg.
Fixed output:
lvconvert --thinpool lvol0 -T mvg/lvol0
Can't use same LV mvg/lvol0 for thin pool and thin volume.
In preparation for other segment types that create and use "pools", we
s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/. This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".
Several fields used to display 0 if undefined. Recent changes
to the way the fields are reported threw away some tests for
valid pointers, leading to segfaults with 'pvs -o all'.
Reinstate the original behaviour.
Boolean algebra changes for process_each_lv_in_vg().
1st.
Drop process_lv variable since it's not needed.
2nd.
process_lv was always initilized to 0 - so the condition was always true.
It the condition (!tags_supplied && !lvargs_supplied) evaluates as "true",
process_all is already set to 1, so skip vg tags evaluation.
3rd.
Move check for matching lv name in the front of lv tags check
since this check can't be skipped for lvargs_matched counter.
If this filter evaluates to true, skip lv tags evaluation.
Since activation takes only read-lock, there could be
multiple activation running in parallel.
So instead of checking before taking any real lock,
let the locking resolve the problem and just
detect if the reason for failure has been remote
exlusive activation.
It should be also faster, since each activation does
not need to do explicit lock query.
For merging thin snapshot we have to do couple extra
checks before we allow this operation.
We pretend thin-snapshot and thin-origin
are tied together and we have to properly
maintain locking.
At the end of lvconvert --snapshot with an active origin, the origin
gets reloaded.
Commit 57c0f72b1d ("lvconvert: use
_reload_lv on more places") accidentally replaced this with a snapshot
LV reload (which does nothing because only the origin is active).
Replacement of pv_read by find_pv_by_name in commit
651d5093ed caused spurious
error messages when running pvcreate or vgextend against an
unformatted device.
