Add new lvs segment field 'Monitor' showing 3 states:
"monitored" - LV is monitored by dmeventd.
"not monitored" - LV is currently not being monitored by dmeventd
"" (empty) - LV does not support monitoring, or dmeventd support
is not compiled in.
Support for exclusive activation of snapshots revealed some problems.
When snapshot is created, COW LV is activated first (for clearing) and
then it's transformed into snapshot's COW LV, but it has left the lock
for such LV active in cluster and this lock could not have been removed
from dlm, unless snapshot has been removed within same dlm session.
If the user tried to remove snapshot after rebooting node, the lock was
missing, and COW LV could not have been detached.
Patch modifes the approach in this way:
Always deactivate COW LV for clustered vg after clearing (so it's
activated again via imlicit snapshot activation rule when snapshot is activated).
When snapshot is removed, activate COW LV as independend LV, so the lock
will exist for such LV, but only when the snapshot is active.
Also add test case for testing snapshot removal after cluster reboot.
Merging multiple config files together needs to know newest (highest)
timestamp of merged files. Persistent cache file is being used
only in case, the config file is older then .cache file.
Add verbose message when we will not obtain devices from udev
(i.e. testing is using different udev dir, and the log was
giving misleading info about using udev)
Add proper error message if zalloc from pull would have failed.
Fix typo obolete -> obsolete
Assign fid as the last step before returning VG.
Make the format reader for 'lvm1' and 'pool' equal to 'lvm2' format reader.
It has caused memory corruption to lvmetad as it later calls
destroy_instance() to allocated fid. This patch should fix problems
with crashing test lvmetad-lvm1.sh.
There is no need to strdup a key when inserting into
the hash table as the table allocates memory and copies
the string. This was causing memory to be lost.
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Commit 9fd7ac7d03 introduced a way a
method of avoiding reading from mirrors with a device failure. If
a device was found to be dead, the mapping table was checked for
'handle_errors' or 'block_on_error'. These strings were checked for
in the table string via 'strstr', which could also match on strings
like, 'no_handle_errors' or 'no_block_on_error'. No such strings
exist, but we don't want to have problems in the future if they do.
So, we check for ' <string>{'\0'|' '}'.
Revert commit 31c24dd9f2. This commit
was used to force a RAID device-mapper table to be loaded into the
kernel despite the fact that it was identical to the one already
loaded. The effect allowed a RAID array with a transiently failed
device to refresh and reintegrate the failed device. This operation
is better done in the kernel on a 'resume'. Since,
'lvchange --refresh' already performs a suspend/resume cycle, the
above commit is not needed once the kernel change is made. Reverting
the commit removes an unnecessary (at least for now) change to the
device-mapper interface.
New options to 'lvchange' allow users to scrub their RAID LVs.
Synopsis:
lvchange --syncaction {check|repair} vg/raid_lv
RAID scrubbing is the process of reading all the data and parity blocks in
an array and checking to see whether they are coherent. 'lvchange' can
now initaite the two scrubbing operations: "check" and "repair". "check"
will go over the array and recored the number of discrepancies but not
repair them. "repair" will correct the discrepancies as it finds them.
'lvchange --syncaction repair vg/raid_lv' is not to be confused with
'lvconvert --repair vg/raid_lv'. The former initiates a background
synchronization operation on the array, while the latter is designed to
repair/replace failed devices in a mirror or RAID logical volume.
Additional reporting has been added for 'lvs' to support the new
operations. Two new printable fields (which are not printed by
default) have been added: "syncaction" and "mismatches". These
can be accessed using the '-o' option to 'lvs', like:
lvs -o +syncaction,mismatches vg/lv
"syncaction" will print the current synchronization operation that the
RAID volume is performing. It can be one of the following:
- idle: All sync operations complete (doing nothing)
- resync: Initializing an array or recovering after a machine failure
- recover: Replacing a device in the array
- check: Looking for array inconsistencies
- repair: Looking for and repairing inconsistencies
The "mismatches" field with print the number of descrepancies found during
a check or repair operation.
The 'Cpy%Sync' field already available to 'lvs' will print the progress
of any of the above syncactions, including check and repair.
Finally, the lv_attr field has changed to accomadate the scrubbing operations
as well. The role of the 'p'artial character in the lv_attr report field
as expanded. "Partial" is really an indicator for the health of a
logical volume and it makes sense to extend this include other health
indicators as well, specifically:
'm'ismatches: Indicates that there are discrepancies in a RAID
LV. This character is shown after a scrubbing
operation has detected that portions of the RAID
are not coherent.
'r'efresh : Indicates that a device in a RAID array has suffered
a failure and the kernel regards it as failed -
even though LVM can read the device label and
considers the device to be ok. The LV should be
'r'efreshed to notify the kernel that the device is
now available, or the device should be 'r'eplaced
if it is suspected of failing.
I've updated the dm_status_raid structure and dm_get_status_raid()
function to make it handle the new kernel status fields that will
be coming in dm-raid v1.5.0. It is backwards compatible with the
old status line - initializing the new fields to '0'. The new
structure is also more amenable to future changes. It includes a
'reserved' field that is currently initialized to zero but could
be used to hold flags describing new features. It also now uses
pointers for the character strings instead of attempting to allocate
their space along with the structure (causing the size of the
structure to be variable). This allows future fields to be appended.
The new fields that are available are:
- sync_action : shows what the sync thread in the kernel is doing
(idle, frozen, resync, recover, check, repair, or
reshape)
- mismatch_count: shows the number of discrepancies which were
found or repaired by a "check" or "repair"
process, respectively.
...to not pollute the common and format-independent code in the
abstraction layer above.
The format1 pv_write has common code for writing metadata and
PV header by calling the "write_disks" fn and when rewriting
the header itself only (e.g. just for the purpose of changing
the PV UUID) during the pvchange operation, we had to tweak
this functionality for the format1 case and we had to assign
the PV the orphan state temporarily.
This patch removes the need for this format1 tweak and it calls
the write_disks with appropriate flag indicating whether this is
a PV write call or a VG write call, allowing for metatada update
for the latter one.
Also, a side effect of the former tweak was that it effectively
invalidated the cache (even for the non-format1 PVs) as we
assigned it the orphan state temporarily just for the format1
PV write to pass.
Also, that tweak made it difficult to directly detect whether
a PV was part of a VG or not because the state was incorrect.
Also, it's not necessary to backup and restore some PV fields
when doing a PV write:
orig_pe_size = pv_pe_size(pv);
orig_pe_start = pv_pe_start(pv);
orig_pe_count = pv_pe_count(pv);
...
pv_write(pv)
...
pv->pe_size = orig_pe_size;
pv->pe_start = orig_pe_start;
pv->pe_count = orig_pe_count;
...this is already done by the layer below itself (the _format1_pv_write fn).
So let's have this cleaned up so we don't need to be bothered
about any 'format1 special case for pv_write' anymore.
The pv_by_path might be also dangerous to use as it does not
count with any other metadata areas but the ones found on the PV
itself. If metadata was not found on the PV referenced by the path,
it returned no PV though it might have been referenced by metadata
elsewhere (on other PVs...).
If extending a VG and including a PV with 0 MDAs that was already
a part of a VG, the vgextend allowed that PV to be added and we
ended up *with one PV in two VGs*!
The vgextend code used the 'pv_by_path' fn that returned a PV for
a given path. However, when the PV did not have any metadata areas,
the fn just returned a PV without any reference to existing VG.
Consequently, any checks for the existing VG failed.

With this patch (correct):

Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda' to volume group 'vg2'.
Before, the find_pv_by_name call always failed if the PV found was orphan.
However, we might use this function even for a PV that is not part of any VG.
This patch adds 'allow_orphan' arg to find_pv_by_name fn that allows that.
_find_pv_by_name -> find_pv_by_name
_find_pv_in_vg -> find_pv_in_vg
_find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid -> find_pv_in_vg_by_uuid
The only callers of the underscored variants were their wrappers
without the underscore. No other part of the code referenced the
underscored variants.
Keep the flag whether given thin pool argument has been given on command
line or it's been 'estimated'
Call of update_pool_params() must not change cmdline given args and
needs to know this info.
Since there is a need to move this update function into /lib, we cannot
use arg_count().
FIXME: we need some generic mechanism here.
Previous commit included changes to WHATSNEW, but the code changes
were missing. Here is the description from the previous commit:
commit bbc6378b73
Author: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Feb 21 11:31:36 2013 -0600
RAID: Make 'lvchange --refresh' restore transiently failed RAID PVs
A new function (dm_tree_node_force_identical_table_reload) was added to
avoid the suppression of identical table reloads. This allows RAID LVs
to reload the on-disk superblock information that contains which devices
have failed and the bitmaps. If the failed device has returned, this has
the effect of restoring the device and initiating recovery. Without this
patch, the user had to completely deactivate their RAID LV and re-activate
it in order to restore the failed device. Now they simply need to
suspend and resume (which is done by 'lvchange --refresh').
The identical table suppression is only avoided if the LV is not PARTAIL
(i.e. all of it's devices can be seen and read by LVM) and the kernel
status of the array contains failed devices. In other words, the function
will only be called in the case where we may have success in restoring
a failed device in the array.
lvm dumpconfig [--ignoreadvanced] [--ignoreunsupported]
--ignoreadvanced causes the advanced configuration options to be left
out on dumpconfig output
--ignoreunsupported causes the options that are not officially supported
to be lef out on dumpconfig output
This shows up in the output as a short commentary:
$ lvm dumpconfig --type default --withcomments metadata/disk_areas
# Configuration option metadata/disk_areas.
# This configuration option is advanced.
# This configuration option is not officially supported.
disk_areas=""
