Create backup copies of system.devices in /etc/lvm/devices/backup
named system.devices-YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.NNNN. NNNN is the version
counter from the file.
Each time that an lvm command writes a new system.devices file,
it also writes the same file in the backup directory.
A new comment line is added to system.devices with HASH=<num>
where <num> is a crc calculated from the uncommented lines in
system.devices. This lets lvm detect if the file has been
modified outside of lvm itself.
If system.devices is edited directly, the next time a command
reads the file, the crc will not match the HASH value. The
command will then rewrite system.devices with the correct HASH
value, and create a backup reflecting the edits.
A default limit of 50 backup files is kept, configurable by
lvm.conf devicesfile_backup_limit (set to 0 to disable backups.)
- add new comparison between old and new entries, and use this
as the basis for new dedicated output for check and update
- add new --refresh option to search for missing PVIDs on all
devices, and possibly update the device ID
- internally, only use the term "refresh" for cases where a
new device ID may be found and assigned for a missing PVID
Fix some interactions between device IDs and hints. Hints
may limit the scanned devices which should not always trigger
a search for the PVs that were intentionally not scanned.
Hints should also be invalidated if they contain a device
that's become excluded by an internal filter such as the
device_id filter.
Fix commit 847f1dd99c
"device_id: rewrite validation of devname entries"
which began calling device_ids_refresh() in cases where it
was unnecessary, leading to extra PV searches and warnings.
Specifically, a command like "lvs <vg>" would use the hints
file to scan only devices for the named VG. This means that
scanning other PVs would be skipped, and device IDs of those
PVs could not be validated because there are no PVID values
to verify. This missing info would cause messages about
the missing info, and would cause device_ids_refresh to
search for the PVs that had been intentionally skipped.
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.
Handle multiple devices using the same serial number as
their device id. After matching devices to devices file
entries, if there is a discrepency between the ondisk PVID
and the devices file PVID, then rematch devices to
devices file entries using PVID, looking at all disks
on the system with the same serial number.
Change messages that refer to devices being "excluded by filters"
to say just "excluded". This will avoid mistaking the word
"filters" with the lvm.conf filter setting.
. error exit means that lvmdevices --update would make a change.
. remove check of PART field from --check because it isn't used.
. unlink searched_devnames file to ensure check|update will search

"pvscan: skip indexing devices used by LVs"
The dev cache index is expensive and slow, so limit it
to commands that are used to observe the state of lvm.
The index is only used to print warnings about incorrect
device use by active LVs, e.g. if an LV is using a
multipath component device instead of the multipath
device. Commands that continue to use the index and
print the warnings:
fullreport, lvmdiskscan, vgs, lvs, pvs,
vgdisplay, lvdisplay, pvdisplay,
vgscan, lvscan, pvscan (excluding --cache)
A couple other commands were borrowing the DEV_USED_FOR_LV
flag to just check if a device was actively in use by LVs.
These are converted to the new dev_is_used_by_active_lv().
dev_cache_index_devs() is taking a large amount of time
when there are many PVs. The index keeps track of
devices that are currently in use by active LVs. This
info is used to print warnings for users in some limited
cases.
The checks/warnings that are enabled by the index are not
needed by pvscan --cache, so disable it in this case.
This may be expanded to other cases in future commits.
dev_cache_index_devs should also be improved in another
commit to avoid the extreme delays with many devices.
When adding a device to the devices file with --adddev, lvm
by default chooses the best device ID type for the new device.
The new --deviceidtype option allows the user to override the
built in preference. This is useful if there's a problem with
the default type, or if a secondary type is preferrable.
If the specified deviceidtype does not produce a device ID,
then lvm falls back to the preference it would otherwise use.
error reading dev and no pvid on dev were both
returning 0. make it easier for callers to
know which, if they care.
return 1 if the device could be read, regardless
of whether a pvid was found or not.
set has_pvid=1 if a pvid is found and 0 if no
pvid is found.
The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use. The default
file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8)
command is used to add or remove device entries. If the file
does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then
lvm will not use a devices file. When the devices file is in use,
the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf
or on the command line are ignored.
LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific
IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific
IDs for virtual device types. These device IDs are also written
in the VG metadata. When no hardware or virtual ID is available,
lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID.
When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find
devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot.
When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look
at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used
as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file
to locate PVs on renamed devices. A config setting
search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for
renamed devname entries.
Related to the devices file, the new command option
--devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for
the command to use, overriding the devices file. The listed
devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which
devices lvm will see and use. Devices that are not listed will
appear to be missing to the lvm command.
Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which
allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application,
and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are
not exposed to the system. The option --devicesfile <filename> is
used to select the devices file to use with the command. Without
the option set, the default system devices file is used.
Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file.
An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices.
The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices
file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs.
vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file.
LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default,
and will look at all devices on the system. A devices file can
be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices) If
this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it.
Internal implementaion:
- device_ids_read - read the devices file
. add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry
- dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries
. add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system
- device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries
. match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID
. on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID
- label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices
. filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device
. filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e.
skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file
. read lvm label from dev
. filters are applied, those that use data from the device
. read lvm metadata from dev
. add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache")
- device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID
where devname changed
. this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs,
and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc.
. detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry
does not match the PVID found when the device was read above
. undo incorrect match between du and dev above
. search system devices for new location of PVID
. update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices
. label_scan the renamed devs
- continue with command processing
