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.
Adds implicit pvcreate support when calling vgcreate or vgextend with
device paths that are not yet PVs. This changes the behavior of vgcreate
and vgextend from failing with an error message to implicitly pvcreating.
Adds pe_align_offset to 'struct physical_volume'; is initialized with
set_pe_align_offset(). After pe_start is established pe_align_offset is
added to it.

Add lvs origin_size field.
Fix linux configure --enable-debug to exclude -O2.
Still a few rough edges, but hopefully usable now:
lvcreate -s vg1 -L 100M --virtualoriginsize 1T
Currently PV commands, which performs full device scan, repeatly
re-reads PVs and scans for all devices.
This behaviour can lead to OOM for large VG.
This patch allows using internal metadata cache for pvs & pvdisplay,
so the commands scan the PVs only once.
(We have to use VG_GLOBAL otherwise cache is invalidated on every
VG unlock in process_single PV call.)
This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.
Intended behaviour of the code now:
pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.
In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.
Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).
log type. Previously, we had a '--corelog' argument that
would change the default type from 'disk' to 'core'. I
think that creates too much confusion - especially when
doing conversions on mirrors.
The new argument '--log' takes either "disk" or "core"
as a parameter. This could be expanded in the future
for additional logging types as well.
Examples:
# Creating a 2-way mirror
$> lvcreate -m1 ... # implicitly use default disk logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --log disk ... # explicit disk logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --log core ... # specify core logging
$> lvcreate -m1 --corelog ... # old way still works
# Conversion examples
$> lvconvert --log core ... # convert to core logging
$> lvconvert --log disk ... # convert to disk logging
$> lvconvert -mX --corelog ... # old way still works
$> lvconvert -mX ... # old way of converting to disk logging still works
Changes are reflected in the man pages.
e.g. lvcreate -l 100%FREE to create an LV using all available space.
lvextend -l 50%LV to increase an LV by 50% of its existing size.
lvcreate -l 20%VG to create an LV using 20% of the total VG size.
event-driven model. Without changes to the way the cache gets updated, the
option is currently unreliable without a global lock to prevent any lvm2
commands from running concurrently.
Fix some memory leaks in error paths found by coverity.
Use C99 struct initialisers.
Move DEFS into configure.h.
Clean-ups to remove miscellaneous compiler warnings.
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
missing from a VG. (Linear targets use the device-mapper 'error' target
which returns ioerror; striped targets use '/dev/ioerror' for now - which must
already exist e.g. as a sufficiently large block device version of /dev/zero).
onto a new device). uuid specified must not already exist on the system.
o More message tidying.
o When checking for label, only read PV metadata.
o Add ataraid. [Needs moving into config/defaults files.]
o updated vgcfgrestore args
o change _check_for_open_devices only to check devices present in the hash
table instead of using dev_iter which triggers a full scan even when only
displaying command line help
