- somewhat neater, more consistent and more readable output
- possible to set any lvm.conf value: aux lvmconf "section/key = value"
- LVM_TEST_NODEBUG to suppress the (lengthy) "## DEBUG" output
- back-substitution on test output ($TESTDIR/$PREFIX -> @TESTDIR@/@PREFIX@)
- support code moved from test/ to test/lib/ --> less clutter
The new standard in the storage industry is to default alignment of data
areas to 1MB. fdisk, parted, and mdadm have all been updated to this
default.
Update LVM to align the PV's data area start (pe_start) to 1MB. This
provides a more useful default than the previous default of 64K (which
generally ended up being a 192K pe_start once the first metadata area
was created).
Before this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 188.00k 192.00k
After this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 1020.00k 1.00m
The heuristic for setting the default alignment for LVM data areas is:
- If the default value (1MB) is a multiple of the detected alignment
then just use the default.
- Otherwise, use the detected value.
In practice this means we'll almost always use 1MB -- that is unless:
- the alignment was explicitly specified with --dataalignment
- or MD's full stripe width, or the {minimum,optimal}_io_size exceeds
1MB
- or the specified/detected value is not a power-of-2
LVM2 test (rather than using the traditional loop device).
prepare_scsi_debug_dev currently assumes exclussive access to the
scsi_debug module. Any script that tries to use prepare_scsi_debug_dev
when scsi_debug is unavailable or already loaded into the kernel will be
skipped.
t-topology-support.sh shows how prepare_scsi_debug_dev function can be
used repeatedly (within a script) to test LVM2 ontop of a ramdisk-based
SCSI device w/ arbitrary scsi_debug features.
