76f3792287 Use O_DIRECT for writing to devices.
Doesn't work on HPPA due to a kernel bug but other archs shuld be OK.

63875e7591 Merge with text format branch.
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.

668879d2e1 o Stop printing errors if flushing fails (could be an unconfigured device). 2002-04-24 08:37:34 +00:00

f8047f4736 o Perform a BLKFLSBUF ioctl whenever a block device is closed.
Patrick, can you see if this fixes your cluster syncing problem please ?
If so I'll make it so it only syncs if you have actually written to the
device.

b3055e992f Fix the device cache to cope reasonably safely with device name changes.
This should be a rare occurrence so the aim is to recover if it's
straightforward to do so, otherwise just to abort the operation.
If people *knowingly* change device names, they should always run vgscan
afterwards.

A few bytes of memory gets leaked inside a pool each time an alias
has to be discarded - it's not worth restructuring the code to reuse it.

More of LVM2 needs updating to pass device objects (or uuids) about
instead of pathnames so that resolution of pathname->object only happens
once per operation.

dev_cache_get() should now always return the *current* device at the path given

dev_name_confirmed() replaces dev_name() whenever it's important to
know that name for the device is still current (ie when opening it).
If the cache doesn't know a current name, the function fails.

dev_open() guarantees that the file descriptor returned is for the dev_t
of the device structure it was passed.

f7912d88b1 o Remove redundant symlink-handling code.
o When opening device, return error if its cached name is incorrect (eg if
  it's changed since the cache was generated).  This prevents use until
  the cache is rebuilt (eg with vgscan).  Doesn't catch every case.

committing metadata changes or (de)activating.

3d95cfb367 o Added dev_open and dev_close functions
o  Changed disk-rep to use these

o  if NDEBUG is not defined the dev_cache will check for open devices on
   teardown.

I was hoping this would speed things up.  But I'm still getting:

reti:/home/joe/sistina/LVM2/tools# time ./lvm vgchange -a n
  Volume group vg0 successfully changed

real    0m5.751s
user    0m0.060s
sys     0m0.070s

even though I have only 1 device with the vg on it passing the filters.

d076caf473 o use dev_name(dev) to get the name of a device, this operation is cheap
since it just get's the first alias.

seems to be having trouble with the dependencies.

o removed some files from the lib makefile that don't compile yet.
