8dd6036da4 Add activation/use_linear_target enabled by default. (prajnoha)
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.

If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.

07113beea3 Do not scan device if it is part of active multipath.
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.

Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.

Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".

If so, this device is filtered out.

The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

57f4dfc653 Reduce preallocated stack size
Go with just 64KiB for stack.

Closer inspection should be made, whether we actually need to play with
settings at all.

Since default stack size is 8MB and gets mapped via page locking thus,
it seems there is no big help with preallocation of stack to some value.

cac52ca4ce Add basic RAID segment type(s) support.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.

Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types

418663b61c Disable udev fallback by default and add activation/udev_fallback to lvm.conf.
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).

This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.

So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".

(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)

edcda01a1e Obtain device list from udev by default if LVM2 is compiled with udev support.
Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.

If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.

Macro PV_MIN_SIZE is unused and removed.

New define DEFAULT_PV_MIN_SIZE_KB is added to lvm-global
and unlike PV_MIN_SIZE it uses KB units.

which cannot be easily filtered out (like FDD on /dev/sdX):

4efb1d9cbb Update heuristic used for default and detected data alignment.
Add "devices/default_data_alignment" to lvm.conf to control the internal
default that LVM2 uses: 0==64k, 1==1MB, 2==2MB, etc.

If --dataalignment (or lvm.conf's "devices/data_alignment") is specified
then it is always used to align the start of the data area.  This means
the md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are disabled if set.

(Same now applies to pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset, the specified value
will be used instead of the result from data_alignment_offset_detection)

set_pe_align() still looks to use the determined default alignment
(based on lvm.conf's default_data_alignment) if the default is a
multiple of the MD or topology detected values.

b123a82d73 Change default alignment of pe_start to 1MB.
The new standard in the storage industry is to default alignment of data
areas to 1MB.  fdisk, parted, and mdadm have all been updated to this
default.

Update LVM to align the PV's data area start (pe_start) to 1MB.  This
provides a more useful default than the previous default of 64K (which
generally ended up being a 192K pe_start once the first metadata area
was created).

Before this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
  PV         VMdaSize  1st PE
  /dev/sdd     188.00k 192.00k

After this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
  PV         VMdaSize  1st PE
  /dev/sdd    1020.00k   1.00m

The heuristic for setting the default alignment for LVM data areas is:
- If the default value (1MB) is a multiple of the detected alignment
  then just use the default.
- Otherwise, use the detected value.

In practice this means we'll almost always use 1MB -- that is unless:
- the alignment was explicitly specified with --dataalignment
- or MD's full stripe width, or the {minimum,optimal}_io_size exceeds
  1MB
- or the specified/detected value is not a power-of-2

23b059e7b7 INSTALL rules updates
Patch is inspired by Debian's extra patch.

- removes OWNER & GROUP make vars they are parts of INSTALL command.
- adds INSTALL_PROGRAM for executable, uses $(INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_DATA for non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds INSTALL_WDATA for writable non-executable data, uses ($INSTALL)
- adds configure option --enable-write_install - to support
  installatin of writable files used by distribution
- replaces usage of ifeq @LIB_SUFFIX@ with $(LIB_SUFFIX)
- installs .a files from static builds without executable flag
- installs .a files to $(usrlibdir) instead of $(libdir)
- installs all static binaries to $(staticdir)
- create .so links for devel package in $(usrlibdir) instead of
  $(libdir)
- makes .so and .so.LIB_VERSION files within builddir
- removes VERSIONED_SHLIB and created versioned LIB_SHARED automagicaly
- install LIB_SHARED via install_lib_shared target
- install plugins via install_lib_shared_plugin target
- prints whole 'install' command during installation instead of less
  informative "Installing  $(something) $(somewhere)"
- install multiple man pages with one INSTALL command
- use DISTCLEAN_TARGETS instead of creating multiple distclean targets

c737d34804 Use vpath instead of VPATH.
Usage of VPATH makes troubles when used within $(builddir).
Not only source files are being found through VPATH,
but targets as well. (make --debug=v)

Thus if user builds the code in $(srcdir) and also in some $(builddir)
he gets mangled results as some generated files (i.e. .export.sym)
are 'reused' from $(srcdir) instead of $(builddir).

This patch switches to use vpath were we could explicitly name
suffixes that should be looked via vpath - we must take care,
we do not generate files with these suffixes:
.c, .in, .po, .exported_symbols
