RAID is not like traditional LVM mirroring. LVM mirroring required failed
devices to be removed or the logical volume would simply hang. RAID arrays can
keep on running with failed devices. In fact, for RAID types other than RAID1,
removing a device would mean substituting an error target or converting to a
lower level RAID (e.g. RAID6 -> RAID5, or RAID4/5 to RAID0). Therefore, rather
than removing a failed device unconditionally and potentially allocating a
replacement, RAID allows the user to "replace" a device with a new one. This
approach is a 1-step solution vs the current 2-step solution.
example> lvconvert --replace <dev_to_remove> vg/lv [possible_replacement_PVs]
'--replace' can be specified more than once.
example> lvconvert --replace /dev/sdb1 --replace /dev/sdc1 vg/lv
The '--merge' option to lvconvert works on snapshots and RAID1. The man
pages correctly reflect this, but the CLI help output still used the term,
'SnapshotLogicalVolume'.
Example:
~> lvconvert --type raid1 -m 1 vg/lv
The following steps are performed to convert linear to RAID1:
1) Allocate a metadata device from the same PV as the linear device
to provide the metadata/data LV pair required for all RAID components.
2) Allocate the required number of metadata/data LV pairs for the
remaining additional images.
3) Clear the metadata LVs. This performs a LVM metadata update.
4) Create the top-level RAID LV and add the component devices.
We want to make any failure easy to unwind. This is why we don't create the
top-level LV and add the components until the last step. Should anything
happen before that, the user could simply remove the unnecessary images. Also,
we want to ensure that the metadata LVs are cleared before forming the array to
prevent stale information from polluting the new array.
A new macro 'seg_is_linear' was added to allow us to distinguish linear LVs
from striped LVs.
This patch allows a mirror to be extended without an initial resync of the
extended portion. It compliments the existing '--nosync' option to lvcreate.
This action can be done implicitly if the mirror was created with the '--nosync'
option, or explicitly if the '--nosync' option is used when extending the device.
Here are the operational criteria:
1) A mirror created with '--nosync' should extend with 'nosync' implicitly
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv ; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 10.00g lv_mlog 100.00
2) The 'M' attribute ('M' signifies a mirror created with '--nosync', while 'm'
signifies a mirror created w/o '--nosync') must be preserved when extending a
mirror created with '--nosync'. See #1 for example of 'M' attribute.
3) A mirror created without '--nosync' should extend with 'nosync' only when
'--nosync' is explicitly used when extending.
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 20.00m lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 5.02 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 5.02g lv_mlog 0.39
vs.
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg; lvextend -L +5G vg/lv --nosync; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg mwi-a-m- 20.00m lv_mlog 100.00
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 5.02 GiB
Logical volume lv successfully resized
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.02g lv_mlog 100.00
4) The 'm' attribute must change to 'M' when extending a mirror created without
'--nosync' is extended with the '--nosync' option. (See #3 examples above.)
5) An inactive mirror's sync percent cannot be determined definitively, so it
must not be allowed to skip resync. Instead, the extend should ask the user if
they want to extend while performing a resync.
[EXAMPLE]# lvchange -an vg/lv
[EXAMPLE]# lvextend -L +5G vg/lv
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
vg/lv is not active. Unable to get sync percent.
Do full resync of extended portion of vg/lv? [y/n]: y
Logical volume lv successfully resized
6) A mirror that is performing recovery (as opposed to an initial sync) - like
after a failure - is not allowed to extend with either an implicit or
explicit nosync option. [You can simulate this with a 'corelog' mirror because
when it is reactivated, it must be recovered every time.]
[EXAMPLE]# lvcreate -m1 -L 5G -n lv vg --nosync --corelog
WARNING: New mirror won't be synchronised. Don't read what you didn't write!
Logical volume "lv" created
[EXAMPLE]# lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g 100.00
[EXAMPLE]# lvchange -an vg/lv; lvchange -ay vg/lv; lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
lv vg Mwi-a-m- 5.00g 0.08
[EXAMPLE]# lvextend -L +5G vg/lv
Extending 2 mirror images.
Extending logical volume lv to 10.00 GiB
vg/lv cannot be extended while it is recovering.
7) If 'no' is selected in #5 or if the condition in #6 is hit, it should not
result in the mirror being resized or the 'm/M' attribute being changed.
NOTE: A mirror created with '--nosync' behaves differently than one created
without it when performing an extension. The former cannot be extended when
the mirror is recovering (unless in-active), while the latter can. This is
a reasonable thing to do since recovery of a mirror doesn't take long (at
least in the case of an on-disk log) and it would cause far more time in
degraded mode if the extension w/o '--nosync' was allowed. It might be
reasonable to add the ability to force the operation in the future. This
should /not/ force a nosync extension, but rather force a sync'ed extension.
IOW, the user would be saying, "Yes, yes... I know recovery won't take long
and that I'll be adding significantly to the time spent in degraded mode, but
I need the extra space right now!".
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --trackchanges vg/lv
The '--trackchanges' option allows a user the ability to use an image of
a RAID1 array for the purposes of temporary read-only access. The image
can be merged back into the array at a later time and only the blocks that
have changed in the array since the split will be resync'ed. This
operation can be thought of as a partial split. The image is never completely
extracted from the array, in that the array reserves the position the device
occupied and tracks the differences between the array and the split image via
a bitmap. The image itself is rendered read-only and the name (<LV>_rimage_*)
cannot be changed. The user can complete the split (permanently splitting the
image from the array) by re-issuing the 'lvconvert' command without the
'--trackchanges' argument and specifying the '--name' argument.
~> lvconvert --splitmirrors 1 --name my_split vg/lv
Merging the tracked image back into the array is done with the '--merge'
option (included in a follow-on patch).
~> lvconvert --merge vg/lv_rimage_<n>
The internal mechanics of this are relatively simple. The 'raid' device-
mapper target allows for the specification of an empty slot in an array
via '- -'. This is what will be used if a partial activation of an array
is ever required. (It would also be possible to use 'error' targets in
place of the '- -'.) If a RAID image is found to be both read-only and
visible, then it is considered separate from the array and '- -' is used
to hold it's position in the array. So, all that needs to be done to
temporarily split an image from the array /and/ cause the kernel target's
bitmap to track (aka "mark") changes made is to make the specified image
visible and read-only. To merge the device back into the array, the image
needs to be returned to the read/write state of the top-level LV and made
invisible.
to lvm.conf in the activation section: 'snapshot_autoextend_threshold' and
'snapshot_autoextend_percent', that define how to handle automatic snapshot
extension. The former defines when the snapshot should be extended: when its
space usage exceeds this many percent. The latter defines how much extra space
should be allocated for the snapshot, in percent of its current size.
re-add a physical volume that has gone missing previously, due to a transient
device failure, without re-initialising it.

Allow metadataignore flag to be passed in to pvcreate.
Ideally, more refactoring of the mda allocation / initialization
is warranted, but for now, we just add another parameter to 'add_mda'
to take an existing mda ignored flag. We need to do this or pv_write
loses the state of the mda 'ignored' flag before copying and writing
to disk.

A shortcut for --ignorelockingfailure, --ignoremonitoring, --poll n options
and LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable used all at
once in initialisation scripts (e.g. rc.sysinit or initrd).
This check-in enables the 'mirrored' log type. It can be specified
by using the '--mirrorlog' option as follows:
#> lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored -L 5G -n lv vg
I've also included a couple updates to the testsuite. These updates
include tests for the new log type, and some fixes to some of the
*lvconvert* tests.
. Add "monitoring" option to "activation" section of lvm.conf
. Have clvmd consult the lvm.conf "activation/monitoring" too.
. Introduce toollib.c:get_activation_monitoring_mode().
. Error out when both --monitor and --ignoremonitoring are provided.
. Add --monitor and --ignoremonitoring support to lvcreate. Update
lvcreate man page accordingly.
. Clarify that '--monitor' controls the start and stop of monitoring in
the {vg,lv}change man pages.

It is pretty much the same as reducing the number of
mirror legs, but we just don't delete them afterwards.
The following command line interface is enforced:
prompt> lvconvert --splitmirror <n> -n <name> <VG>/<LV>
where 'n' is the number of images to split off, and
where 'name' is the name of the newly split off logical volume.
If more than one leg is split off, a new mirror will be the
result. The newly split off mirror will have a 'core' log.
Example:
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_1(0),lv_mimage_2(0),lv_mimage_3(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mimage_3] /dev/sde1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# lvconvert --splitmirrors 2 --name split vg/lv /dev/sd[ce]1
Logical volume lv converted.
[root@bp-01 LVM2]# !lvs
lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
lv 100.00 lv_mimage_0(0),lv_mimage_2(0)
[lv_mimage_0] /dev/sdb1(0)
[lv_mimage_2] /dev/sdd1(0)
[lv_mlog] /dev/sdi1(0)

[split_mimage_0] /dev/sde1(0)
[split_mimage_1] /dev/sdc1(0)
It can be seen that '--splitmirror <n>' is exactly the same
as '--mirrors -<n>' (note the minus sign), except there is the
additional notion to keep the image being detached from the
mirror instead of just throwing it away.

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).
