Additional verbosity level -vvvv includes line numbers and backtraces.
Verbose messages now go to stderr not stdout.
Close any stray file descriptors before starting.
Refine partitionable checks for certain device types.
Allow devices/types to override built-ins.
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
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.
Patrick, can you see if this fixes your cluster syncing problem please ?
If so I'll make it so it only syncs if you have actually written to the
device.
This should be a rare occurrence so the aim is to recover if it's
straightforward to do so, otherwise just to abort the operation.
If people *knowingly* change device names, they should always run vgscan
afterwards.
A few bytes of memory gets leaked inside a pool each time an alias
has to be discarded - it's not worth restructuring the code to reuse it.
More of LVM2 needs updating to pass device objects (or uuids) about
instead of pathnames so that resolution of pathname->object only happens
once per operation.
dev_cache_get() should now always return the *current* device at the path given
dev_name_confirmed() replaces dev_name() whenever it's important to
know that name for the device is still current (ie when opening it).
If the cache doesn't know a current name, the function fails.
dev_open() guarantees that the file descriptor returned is for the dev_t
of the device structure it was passed.
o When opening device, return error if its cached name is incorrect (eg if
it's changed since the cache was generated). This prevents use until
the cache is rebuilt (eg with vgscan). Doesn't catch every case.
o updated vgcfgrestore args
o change _check_for_open_devices only to check devices present in the hash
table instead of using dev_iter which triggers a full scan even when only
displaying command line help
o roll vgcache back to agk's implementation, we'll revisit this as part
of the cluster integration.
o change the extra_info field in a label to be a void *
o Changed disk-rep to use these
o if NDEBUG is not defined the dev_cache will check for open devices on
teardown.
I was hoping this would speed things up. But I'm still getting:
reti:/home/joe/sistina/LVM2/tools# time ./lvm vgchange -a n
Volume group vg0 successfully changed
real 0m5.751s
user 0m0.060s
sys 0m0.070s
even though I have only 1 device with the vg on it passing the filters.
devices {
# first match is final, eg. /dev/ide/cdrom
# get's rejected due to the first pattern
filter=["r/cdrom/", # don't touch the music !
"a/hd[a-d][0-9]+/",
"a/ide/",
"a/sd/",
"a/md/",
"a|loop/[0-9]+|", # accept devfs style loop back
"r/loop/", # and reject old style
"a/dasd/",
"a/dac960/",
"a/nbd/",
"a/ida/",
"a/cciss/",
"a/ubd/",
"r/.*/"] # reject all others
}
Alasdair this is ready to roll into the tools now.
