234b12480e lvconvert --merge @tag support
Switch lvconvert's --merge code over to using process_each_lv().  Doing
so adds support for a single 'lvconvert --merge' to start merging
multiple LVs (which includes @tag expansion).

Add 'lvconvert --merge @tag' testing to test/t-snapshot-merge.sh

Adjust man/lvconvert.8.in to reflect these expanded capabilities.

The lvconvert.c implementation requires rereading the VG each iteration
of process_each_lv().  Otherwise a stale VG instance associated with
the LV passed to lvconvert_single_merge() would result in stale VG
metadata being written back out to disk.  This overwrote new metadata
that was written when a previous snapshot LV finished merging (via
lvconvert_poll).  This is only an issue when merging multiple LVs that
share the same VG (a single VG is typical for most LVM configurations on
system disks).

In the end this new support is very useful for performing a "system
rollback" that requires multiple snapshot LVs be merged to their
respective origin LV.

The yum-utils 'fs-snapshot' plugin tags all snapshot LVs that it creates
with a common 'snapshot_tag' that is unique to the yum transaction.
Rolling back a yum transaction, that created LVM snapshots with the tag
'yum_20100129133223', is as simple as:
  lvconvert --merge @yum_20100129133223

77dd1c0e5f Add the new mirror log type "redundant". The options are now:
--mirrorlog core: in-memory log
--mirrorlog disk: persistent log
--mirrorlog redundant: redundant persistent log

72e0743621 This patch adds the capability to split off a mirror legs.
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            100.00 split_mimage_0(0),split_mimage_1(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.
