Document usage of chaining external origins as it is now possibly to
create thinA LV in poolA which use thinB LV in poolB as it external
origin and user could create chain of such LV.
Since understanding the reason for choosing the appmachineid over the
direct use of machineid is not easily found, I extended to help text to
clarify this a bit.
If the system changes, locate PVs that appear on different devices,
and update the device IDs in the devices file. A system change is
detected by saving the DMI product_uuid or hostname in the devices
file, and comparing it to the current system value. If a root PV
is restored or copied to a new system with different devices, then
the product_uuid or hostname should change, and trigger lvm to
locate PVIDs from system.devices on new devices.
When exit on file is present in a system and term/break signal is
catched, them dmeventd is no longger refusing to exit.
For the correct shutdown, there should be ideally unmonitoring call,
however in some case it's very hard to implement this correct procedure.
With this 'exit on' file dmeventd at least avoid 'blocking' shutdown,
before systemd kills use with -9 anyway possibly even in some unwanted
stated of internal dmeventd processing (i.e. in the middle of some lvm
command processing).
To quickly get info about some internal dmeventd status,
implment 'dmeventd -i' support.
Reported messages are some 'raw' internal informations mainly
useful to developers.
Add '--headings none|abbrev|full|0|1|2' command line option to select
the heading type.
none|0 - no headings
abbrev|1 - column name abbreviations
full|2 - full column names (column names are equal to exact names
that -o|--options also accepts to set report output)
When repair thinpool or cachepool, lvm2 leaves original metadata
volume backup. To avoid potential damage of those data, mark such
volume as 'read-only' and also allow user to use --setactivationskip
option for this volume.
TODO: likely better default would be to automatically skip, but
that might need some more thinking about recovery reporting doc.
Enable support to cache thin/error/zero virtual targets.
Use can now select whether he want to cache whole thin-pool,
or an individual thin volume out of whole thin-pool.
Support using zero and error LVs as data volume for
cachepool is possibly useful for benchmarking, not much
can be expected from such setup.
This vdo parameter existed in the early stage of integration of vdo into lvm2,
but later it's been removed from vdoformat tool - so actually if
there would be any non-zero value it would cause error on lvcreate.
Option was not stored on disk in lvm2 metadata.
Remove this vdo parameter from lvm2 sources.
(Although this vdo parameter will be still accepted on cmdline through
--vdosettings option, but it will be ignored.)
Correct setting of migration_threshold and add clarify
how the user can restore default cache settings for cache policies.
Also document mq aliasing with smq for newer kernels.
pvscan --cache <dev> is called by our udev rule at a time when all
the symlinks for <dev> may not be created yet (by other udev rules.)
The regex filter in lvm.conf may refer to <dev> using a symlink name
that hasn't yet been created, which would cause <dev> to not match
the filter regex. The DEVLINKS env var, set by udev, contains all
the symlink names for <dev> that have been or will be created.
So, we add all these symlink names to dev->aliases, as if we had
found them in /dev. This allows <dev> to be recognized by a regex
filter containing a symlink for <dev>.
Add a note to the manpage that lvmlockd is unable to determine
accurately and without side-effects whether a LV is remotely active.
Also change the value of the lv_active_remotely option from false to
undefined for shared VGs to distinctly communicate that inability to
users. Only for local VGs it can be definitely stated that they are not
remotely active.

The new --valuesonly option causes the lvmconfig output to contain only
values without keys for each config node. This is practical mainly in
case where we use lvmconfig in scripts and we want to assign the value
to a different custom key or simply output the value itself without the
key.
For example:
# lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy
raid_fault_policy="warn"
# lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly
"warn"
# my_var=$(lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly)
# echo $my_var
"warn"
Internally, NUM and BIN fields are marked as DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUM_NUMBER
through libdevmapper API. The new 'json_std' format mandates that the report
string representing such a value must be a number, not an arbitrary string.
This is because numeric values in 'json_std' format do not have double quotes
around them. This practically means, we can't use string synonyms
("named reserved values") for such values and the report string must always
represent a proper number.
With 'json' and 'basic' formats, this is not an issue because 'basic' format
doesn't have any structure or typing at all and 'json' format puts all values
in quotes, including numeric ones.
Allow to use --vdosettings with lvcreate,lvconvert,lvchange.
Support settings currenly only configurable via lvm.conf.
With lvchange we require inactivate LV for changes to be applied.
Settings block_map_era_length has supported alias block_map_period.
