This patch adds the ability to set the minimum and maximum I/O rate for
sync operations in RAID LVs. The options are available for 'lvcreate' and
'lvchange' and are as follows:
--minrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
--maxrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
The rate is specified in size/sec/device. If a suffix is not given,
kiB/sec/device is assumed. Setting the rate to 0 removes the preference.
'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--
Move common code for changing activation state from
vgchange and lvchange to one function.
Fix the order of checks - so we always implicitelly
activate snapshots and thin volumes in exclusive mode,
and we do not allow local deactivation for them.
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.
Do not allow conversion of external origin into writeable LV,
and prohibit changing the external origin size.
If the snapshot origin is also external origin, merge is prohibited.
Instead of check for lv_is_active() for thin pool LV,
query the whole pool via new pool_is_active().
Fixes a problem when we cannot change discards settings
for active pool device where the actual layer for pool
device was inactive, but thin volumes using thin pool
have been active.
A while back, the behavior of LVM changed from allowing metadata changes
when PVs were missing to not allowing changes. Until recently, this
change was tolerated by HA-LVM by forcing a 'vgreduce --removemissing'
before trying (again) to add tags to an LV and then activate it. LVM
mirroring requires that failed devices are removed anyway, so this was
largely harmless. However, RAID LVs do not require devices to be removed
from the array in order to be activated. In fact, in an HA-LVM
environment this would be very undesirable. Device failures in such an
environment can often be transient and it would be much better to restore
the device to the array than synchronize an entirely new device.
There are two methods that can be used to setup an HA-LVM environment:
"clvm" or "tagging". For RAID LVs, "clvm" is out of the question because
RAID LVs are not supported in clustered VGs - not even in an exclusively
activated manner. That leaves "tagging". HA-LVM uses tagging - coupled
with 'volume_list' - to ensure that only one machine can have an LV active
at a time. If updates are not allowed when a PV is missing, it is
impossible to add or remove tags to allow for activation. This removes
one of the most basic functionalities of HA-LVM - site redundancy. If
mirroring or RAID is used to replicate the storage in two data centers
and one of them goes down, a server and a storage device are lost. When
the service fails-over to the alternate site, the VG will be "partial".
Unable to add a tag to the VG/LV, the RAID device will be unable to
activate.
The solution is to allow vgchange and lvchange to alter the LVM metadata
for a limited set of options - --[add|del]tag included. The set of
allowable options are ones that do not cause changes to the DM kernel
target (like --resync would) or could alter the structure of the LV
(like allocation or conversion).
When reformatting the 'lvchange_resync' code in commit
05131f5853, a '!' should have been removed
from the condition that checks for the LV_NOTSYNCED flag on a corelog
mirror LV. The presence of this '!' caused the LV_NOTSYNCED flag to be
cleared when it wasn't present and left when it was present.
It is not allowed to add images to a 'mirror' or 'raid1' LV if the
LV_NOTSYNCED flag is set. We add some up-convert tests to ensure this
behavior is being enforced and that the LV_NOTSYNCED flag is being
properly cleared by 'lvchange --resync'.
(Not updating WHATS_NEW because this is intrarelease.)
Issuing a 'lvchange --resync <VG>/<RAID_LV>' had no effect. This is
because the code to handle RAID LVs was not present. This patch adds
the code that will clear the metadata areas of RAID LVs - causing them
to resync upon activation.
When an LV is to be resynced, the metadata areas are cleared and the
LV is reactivated. This is true for mirroring and will also be true
for RAID LVs. We restructure the code in lvchange_resync() so that we
keep all the common steps necessary (validation of ability to resync,
deactivation, activation of meta/log devices, clearing of those devices,
etc) and place the code that will be divergent in separate functions:
detach_metadata_devices()
attach_metadata_devices()
The common steps will be processed on lists of metadata devices. Before
RAID capability is added, this will simply be the mirror log device (if
found).
This patch lays the ground-work for adding resync of RAID LVs.
By changing the conditional for resyncing mirrors with core-logs a
bit, we can short-circuit the rest of the function for that case
and reduce the amount of indenting in the rest of the function.
This cleanup will simplify future patches aimed at properly handling
the resync of RAID LVs.
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.
When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]
Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
Remove the limit for major and minor number arguments used while specifying
persistent numbers via -My --major <major> --minor <minor> option which
was set to 255 before. Follow the kernel limit instead which is 12 bits
for major and 20 bits for minor number (kernel >= 2.6 and LVM formats
that does not have FMT_RESTRICTED_LVIDS - so still keep the old limit
of 255 for lvm1 format).
Update lvchange to allow change of 'zero' flag for thinpool.
Add support for changing discard handling.
N.B. from/to ignore could be only changed for inactive pool.
When --sysinit -a ay is used with vg/lvchange and lvmetad is up and running,
we should skip manual activation as that would be a useless step - all volumes
are autoactivated once all the PVs for a VG are present.
If lvmetad is not active at the time of the vgchange --sysinit -a ay
call, the activation proceeds in standard 'manual' way.
This way, we can still have vg/lvchange --sysinit -a ay called
unconditionally in system initialization scripts no matter if lvmetad
is used or not.
We're refererring to 'activation' all over the code and we're talking
about 'LVs being activated' all the time so let's use 'activation/activate'
everywhere for clarity and consistency (still providing the old
'available' keyword as a synonym for backward compatibility with
existing environments).
Code adds better support for monitoring of thin pool devices.
update_pool_lv uses DMEVENTD_MONITOR_IGNORE to not manipulate with monitoring.
vgchange & lvchange are checking real thin pool device for existance
as we are using _tpool real device and visible LV pool device might not
be even active (_tpool is activated implicitely for any thin volume).
monitor_dev_for_events is another _lv_postorder like code it might be worth
to think about reusing it here - for now update the code to properly
monitory thin volume deps.
For unmonitoring add extra code to check the usage of thin pool - in case it's in use
unmonitoring of thin volume is skipped.
Read lvm.conf setting for monitoring for each command. So we should not
activate monitoring if the default compilation is set to monitor during
lvconvert commnads.
Patch also removes check for clustered VG and allows to disable monitoring
for clustered VG with the assumption, the problem with monitoring and dmeventd
flag passing for INGNORE is already fixed.
Since activation of pool is now independent on thin activation,
user may do whatever he needs - thought preferable thin should stay alive,
but it it will be found inactivate, update_pool will bring the pool up.
All thins are created with the next activation and VG is updated
without messages. Only some basic commands works.
(i.e. lvcreate -an -V10 -T mvg/pool)
There can be some combination to confuse this system.
This functionality for snapshots is going to be interesting.
To ensure we properly handle LV cluster locking - explicitely do
not allow to change the availability of the thin pool that is in use
for some thin LV.
As soon as the thin volume is created the only way to activate pool
is via implicit dependency.
Ignore thinpool open count for lv/vgchange operations.
Simultaneous -a and --refresh is not valid.
poll+monitor are valid together with or without -ay* (but not with -an*)
No longer print polling results summary if no LVs in the VG were polled.
Ignore snapshots when performing mirror recovery beneath an origin.
Pass LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY flag around cluster.
Add suspend_lv_origin and resume_lv_origin using LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY.
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).
clvmd does not propagate DMEVENTD_MONITOR_IGNORE.
Update get_activation_monitoring_mode() to check if the VG that the
LV is being activated in is clustered. If so, skip it.
Any get_activation_monitoring_mode() error will cause the associated LV
(or VG) to be skipped during activation. Both vgchange_single() and
lvchange_single(), which call get_activation_monitoring_mode(), are
called by their respective process_each_..() method.
. 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.

Similar refactoring to vgchange - pull out common parts and put into
library function for reuse. Should be no functional change.

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'

We provide a lock type that behaves like no_locking, but is not
clustered. Moreover, it also forbids any write locks. This magically (and
consistently) prevents use of clustered VGs, or changing local VGs with
--ignorelockingfailure. As a bonus, we can remove the special hacks in a few
places. Of course, people looking for trouble can always set their locking_type
to 0 to override.

* Rework the toollib interface (process_each_*) on top of new vg_read.
Rebased 6/26/09 by Dave W.
- Add skipping message to process_each_lv
- Remove inconsistent_t.
When mirror convert polling is started (mainly as backgound process,
in lvchange -a y or in lvconvert itself) it tries to read VG
and LV identified by its name.
Unfortunatelly, the VG can have already different LV under the same name,
and various more or less funny things can happen (note that
_finish_lvconvert_mirror suspends the volume for example).
(the typical example is our testing script which continuously recreates
LVs under the same name in the same VG.)
This patch adds optional uuid parameter which helps to properly
select the monitoring object. For lvconvert polling it is set to LV UUID
and both _get_lvconvert_vg and _get_lvconvert_lv uses it to read proper VG/LV.
(In the pvmove case it is NULL, here we poll for physical volume name).
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
The backup() call store metadata from memory.
But in cluster backup() call performs
remote nodes metadata backup and it reads data from disk.
For metadata backup consistency,
patch moves all backup() calls after vg_commit.
(Moreover, some tools already do that this way.)
Very simple / crude method of removing 'is_static' from initialization.
Why should we require an application tell us whether it is linked
statically or dynamically to libLVM? If the application is linked
statically, but libraries exist and dlopen() calls succeed, why
do we care if it's statically linked?
Fix some memory leaks in error paths found by coverity.
Use C99 struct initialisers.
Move DEFS into configure.h.
Clean-ups to remove miscellaneous compiler warnings.
Clear many compiler warnings (i386) & associated bugs - hopefully without
introducing too many new bugs:-) (Same exercise required for other archs.)
Default compilation has optimisation - or else use ./configure --enable-debug
to back this out so you can do that commit, let me know. Also, if there's
an issue with the error message that's displayed, just change it in tools.h.
This causes a "device-mapper driver/module not loaded?" error message to
be displayed for the commands that require dm-mod, if the tools can't get
the driver version. It's not done for commands that don't require dm-mod.
This should clear up some problems people have had attempting to use lvm2
without rtfm'ing.
allocation policy. This can currently take one of three values:
typedef enum {
ALLOC_NEXT_FREE,
ALLOC_STRICT,
ALLOC_CONTIGUOUS
} alloc_policy_t;
Notice that 'SIMPLE' has turned into the slightly more meaningful NEXT_FREE.
ii) Put code into display.[hc] for converting one of these enums to a
text representation and back again.
ii) Updated the text format so this also has the alloc_policy field.
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.
from lock_vol() - otherwise it now attempts to acquire the lock and then
immediately releases it.
o Extend the id field in struct logical_volume to hold VG uuid + LV uuid
for format1. This unique lvid can be used directly when calling lock_vol().
o Add the VG uuid to vgcache to make VG uuid lookups possible. (Another
step towards using them instead of VG names internally.)
o #defines for common lock flag combinations
o Try out hyphens instead of colons in device-mapper names - does this
make messages containing filenames easier to read?
o Use first unused lv_number when creating new LV
o Use lv_number for refs to snapshots
o Update persistent minor logic after the lvcreate restructure
o Reset all parameters before use in lvcreate.
slightly different from the current LVM1 method.

lvchange --persistent n (to turn off)
lvchange --persistent y --minor 11 (to change)
--persistent uses a new LV status flag stored on disk
minor number is stored on disk the same way as LVM1 does
(but major number stored is 0; any LVM1 major/minor setting gets lost)
lvchange -ay --minor 12 (to activate using minor 12, regardless of the
on-disk setting, which doesn't get changed)
--minor == -m
--persistent == -M

o Many operations can be carried out regardless of whether the VG is

o Dummy lv_check_segments() for compilation.
