25b733809a 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.

568d7229bf Review locking: block signals instead of ignoring them and restore state
afterwards; avoid race condition with unlink; add LCK_HOLD to process_each_vg.

60274aba6e Preparation for an LVM2 liblvm - pass cmd_context into each tool and
link some globals that the tools need into that structure.

e74999af51 o Add cmd_line field to struct cmd_context
o  Text format now has a description and time field at the top level.

o  archiving and backup set the description appropriately. eg,

   for an archive:

     description = "Created *before* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
     creation_time = 1013166332

   for a backup:

     description = "Created *after* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
     creation_time = 1013166332

This is preparing the way for a simple vgcfgundo command.

f2f2634990 o vgcfgrestore works ! (with the couple of examples I tried). 2002-01-15 17:37:23 +00:00

4a624ca055 o ACTIVE is no longer a status flag - lv_active() used to check if an LV
is active in the device-mapper.
o Many operations can be carried out regardless of whether the VG is
  active or not.
o vgscan does not activate anything - use vgchange.
o Change lvrename to support renaming of active LVs.
o Remove '//' appearing in some pathnames.
o Dummy lv_check_segments() for compilation.
