Repairing missing devices does not work reliably
with lvmetad, so disable lvmetad before repair.
A standard lvmetad refresh (pvscan --cache) will
enable lvmetad again.
When a given command:
- matches command definition A based on required options,
but uses optional options that are not accepted by A.
- matches command definition B based on required options,
(but fewer required items than A), and uses no
unaccepted optional options.
then B is the correct choice. Command A would fail because
of the unaccepted optional options. The logic was mistakenly
letting A win because it had a greater number of required option
matches, without accounting for the optional option mismatches.
Systematically outline every combination of:
--type striped, --type mirror, --type raid, --mirrors, --stripes
and make sure each is assigned to one specific cmd def.
This revealed that a new command def is needed for
lvcreate that uses both --mirrors and --stripes
but no --type option.
The use of LVCREATE_RAID shortcut for an option set
resulted in mirrors/stripes being included in optional
opts set when they were already in the required list.
As was recently done with relative signes for sizes/extents,
limit the signs used with the mirrors option, e.g.
lvcreate --mirrors now does not accept or advertise an
optional minus sign with the value. lvconvert --mirrors
accepts +|-.
The LVCONVERT_RAID shortcut for including options ended
up including mirrors/stripes as optional opts in defs where
they were already required, or in defs where they would
not be used. Remove the option set and specify in each
case only the options wanted.
OO_LVCREATE_CACHE accepts --cachemetadataformat.
Support new option --cachemetadataformat auto|1|2 for caching.
Word 'auto' can be also be given as '0'.
As now we can properly recognize all paramerters for pool creation,
we may drop PASS_ARG_ defines and rely on '_UNSELECTED' or 0 entries
as being those without user given args.
When setting are not given on command line - 'update' function
fill them from profiles or configuration. For this 'profile' arg
was needed to be passed around and since 'VG' itself is not needed,
it's been all replaced with 'cmd, profile, extents_size' args.
Reuse same code for getting/setting cache parameters with lvcreate.
So there is single one place how to get vars from profiles and configs.
Variables declarations are moved to start of function and
there is no need to initialize them as they are always
defined by functions get_cache_params() and get_pool_params().
Fix missing reset of '*settings' pointer when no args were given.
Handle cache_chunk settings like all other settings, so it is properly
updated only with non-zero settings and the existing cache-pool
chunk_size is not being reconfigured.
Split-off patch that just replaces returns with 'goto bad'
so there is single place to release policy_settings.
In the next patch we will start to use some shared
function call between lvconvert and lvcreate
(effectively restoring previous logic which has got lost).
To more easily recognize unselected state from select '0' state
add new 'THIN_ZERO_UNSELECTED' enum.
Same applies to THIN_DISCARDS_UNSELECTED.
For those we no longer need to use PASS_ARG_ZERO or PASS_ARG_DISCARDS.
Older compilers cannot tell that the 'mode' variable is only
used in branches in which it is assigned:
dmsetup.c:5651: warning: "mode" may be used uninitialized in this function
dmsetup.c:5023: warning: "mode" may be used uninitialized in this function
Avoid this by always assigning the variable a value.
Launch an instance of the filemap monitoring daemon when creating,
or updating, a file mapped group, unless the --nomonitor switch is
given.
Unless --foreground is given the daemon will detach from the
terminal and run in the background until it is signaled or the
daemon termination conditions are met.
The --follow={inode|path} switch is added to control the daemon
behaviour when files are moved, unlinked, or renamed while they
are being monitored.
The daemon runs with the same verbosity as the dmstats command
that starts it.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged
raid1 LV causes loss of resilience.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of all resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
Adjust tests.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV tracking changes
causes loosing partial resilience for any newly written data set.
Full resilience will be provided again after the split off image LV
got merged back in and the new data set got fully synchronized.
Reason being that the data is only stored on the remaining single
writable image during the split.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of such partial resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
Add new values for different sign variations, resulting in:
size_VAL no sign accepted
ssize_VAL accepts + or -
psize_VAL accepts +
nsize_VAL accpets -
extents_VAL no sign accepted
sextents_VAL accepts + or -
pextents_VAL accepts +
nextents_VAL accepts -
Depending on the command being run, change the option
values for --size, --extents, --poolmetadatasize to
use the appropriate value from above.
lvcreate uses no sign (but accepts + and ignores it).
lvresize accepts +|- for a relative change.
lvextend accepts + for a relative change.
lvreduce accepts - for a relative change.
Like opt and val arrays in previous commit, combine duplicate
arrays for lv types and props in command.c and lvmcmdline.c.
Also move the command_names array to be defined in command.c
so it's consistent with the others.
command.c and lvmcmdline.c each had a full array defining
all options and values. This duplication was not removed
when the command.c code was merged into the run time.
Part of the UNIT description was still living in the
--size description. Move it to the Size[UNIT] description
since it is used by other options, not just --size.
In lvcreate/lvconvert, --poolmetdatasize can only be an
absolute value, but in lvresize/lvextend, --poolmetadatasize
can be given a + relative value.
The val types only currently support relative values that
go in both directions +|-. Further work is needed to add
val types that can be relative in only one direction, and
switching various option values to one those depending on
the command name. Then poolmetdatasize will not appear
with a +|- option in lvcreate/lvconvert, and will
appear with only the + option in lvresize/lvextend.
Clean up and correct the details around --extents and --size.
lvcreate/lvresize/lvreduce/lvextend all now display the
extents option in usages.
The Size and Number value variables for --size and --extents
are now displayed without the [+|-] prefix for lvcreate.
A special case is needed to display
--extents for lvcreate since the cmd defs
treat --extents as an automatic alternative
to --size (to avoid duplicating every cmd def).
When a cmd def includes multiple sets of options (OO_FOO),
allow multiple OO_FOO sets to contain the same option and
avoid repeating it in the cmd def.
There was confusion in the code about whether or not the
--size option accepted a sign. Make it consistent and clear
that it does.
This exposes a new problem in that an option can only
accept one value type, e.g. --size can only accept a
signed number, it cannot accept a positive or negative
number for some commands and reject negative numbers for
others.
In practice, lvcreate accepts only positive --size
values and lvresize accepts positive or negative --size
values. There is currently no way to encode this
difference. Until that is fixed, the man page output
is hacked to avoid printing the [+|-] prefix for sizes
in lvcreate.
Settings specified in other command line args take precedence over
profiles and --config, which takes precedence over settings in actual
config files.
Since commit 1e2420bca8 ('commands: new
method for defining commands') commands like this:
lvchange --config 'global/test=1' -ay vg
have been printing the 'TEST MODE' message, but nevertheless making
real changes.
Add/remove the SECONDARY_SYNTAX flag to cmd defs.
cmd defs with this flag will be listed under the
ADVANCED USAGE man page section, so that the main
USAGE section contains the most common commands
without distraction.
- When multiple cmd defs do the same thing, one variant
can be displayed in the first list.
- Very advanced, unusual or uncommon commands should be
in the second list.
- Combine the equivalent lvconvert --type raid defs.
(Two cmd defs must be different without relying
on LV type, which are not known at the time the
cmd def is matched.)
- Remove unused optional options from lvconvert --stripes,
and lvconvert --stripesize.
- Use Number for --stripes_long val type.
- Combine the cmd def for raid reshape cleanup into the
existing start_poll cmd def (they were duplicate defs).
Calls into the raid code from a poll opertion will be
added.
The options list was sorted as:
- options with both long and short forms, alphabetically
- options with only long form, alphabetically
This was done only for the visual effect. Change to
sort alphabetically by long opt, without regard to
short forms.
Fixes commit 286d39ee3c, which was correct except
for a reversed strstr. Now uses strchr, and modifies
a copy of the name so the original argv is preserved.
When requesting a regionsize change during conversions, check
for constraints or the command may fail in the kernel n case
the region size is too smalle or too large thus leaving any
new SubLVs behind.

- fix raid_rimage_extents()
- add 2 new test scripts lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_striped.sh
and lvconvert-raid-reshape-striped_to_linear.sh to test
the linear <-> striped multi-step conversions
- add lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh reshaping tests
- enhance lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh with new raid10 tests

In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces infrastructure prerequisites to be used
by raid_manip.c extensions in followup patches.
This base is needed for allocation of out-of-place
reshape space required by the MD raid personalities to
avoid writing over data in-place when reading off the
current RAID layout or number of legs and writing out
the new layout or to a different number of legs
(i.e. restripe)
Changes:
- add members reshape_len to 'struct lv_segment' to store
out-of-place reshape length per component rimage
- add member data_copies to struct lv_segment
to support more than 2 raid10 data copies
- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len
- add LV flags for disk add/remove reshaping
- support import/export of the new 'struct lv_segment' members
- enhance lv_extend/_lv_reduce to cope with reshape_len
- add seg_is_*/segtype_is_* macros related to reshaping
- add target version check for reshaping
- grow rebuilds/writemostly bitmaps to 246 bit to support kernel maximal
- enhance libdm deptree code to support data_offset (out-of-place reshaping)
and delta_disk (legs add/remove reshaping) target arguments

(Change to recent commit 3f4ecaf8c2.)
Use --foo Number[k|UNIT] to indicate that
the default units of the number is k, but other
units listed below are also accepted.
Previously, underlined/italic Unit was used,
like other of variables, but this UNIT is more
like a shortcut than an actual variable.
The MD kernel raid1 personality does no use any writemostly leg as the primary.
In case a previous linear LV holding data gets upconverted to
raid1 it becomes the primary leg of the new raid1 LV and a full
resynchronization is started to update the new legs.
No writemostly and/or writebehind setting may be allowed during
this initial, full synchronization period of this new raid1 LV
(using the lvchange(8) command), because that would change the
primary (i.e the previous linear LV) thus causing data loss.
lvchange has a bug not preventing this scenario.
Fix rejects setting writemostly and/or writebehind on resychronizing raid1 LVs.
Once we have status in the lvm2 metadata about the linear -> raid upconversion,
we may relax this constraint for other types of resynchronization
(e.g. for user requested "lvchange --resync ").
New lvchange-raid1-writemostly.sh test is added to the test suite.
Resolves: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=855895
We use --foo Number[k|Units] to indicate that
the default units of the number is k, but other
units listed below are also accepted.
Capitalize and underline Units so it is consistent
with other variables, and reference it at the end.
Technically, the k should be bold, but this
tends to make the text visually hard to read
because of the excessive highlights scattered
everywhere. So it's left normal text for now
(it's unlikely to confuse anyone.)
Print ... after a repeatable option in the OPTIONS section.
An alternative would be to just mention in the text description
that the option is repeatable.
There are two kinds of common options:
1. options common to all variants of a given command name
2. options common to all lvm commands
Previously, both kinds of common options were listed together
under "Common options". Now the first are printed under
"Common options for command" (when needed), and the second
are printed under "Common options for lvm" (always).
