9abf5e70be Add support for querying a device's inactive table.
Currently this data is invisible to userspace.
Requires dm >= 4.16 (likely to be in linux 2.6.33).

7c638cc236 Document --all option in man pages, cleanup {pv|vg|lv}{s|display} man pages.
Option --all is only partially documented currently, so document in all
commands.  Also make {pv|vg|lv}{display|s} man pages consistent with help
output.  Remove ununsed 'disk_ARG' parameter.  Leave --trustcache out of
the man page output.  Update --units argument to show all possible units.

0ddb66efba Add --pvmetadatacopies as a synonym for --metadatacopies in various commands.
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis.  In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere.  We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies.  Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands).  The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.

Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.

Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches.  Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).

NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.

2ce3412b46 Update vgcreate and vgextend man pages to clarify implicit pvcreate.
vgcreate and vgextend now implicitly call pvcreate on devices not
currently initialized for LVM use.  Previously these commands would
fail with an error, so clarify the new behavior in the man page.

eb7c87e90d Refactor vgsplit - reorder _vgsplit_from and _vgsplit_to based on flag.
Slight functional change.  If we open the destination first, we cannot
know the 'fmt'.  In this case we use the default metadata type unless
the user has specified -M on the cmdline.  If not, in most cases this
is fine since we use the LVM2 default metadata type.  However, if the
user is specifying a non-default metadata type (e.g. lvm1) and the order
of the names is such that we have to open the destination (vg_to) first,
we have a problem.  So in this case, we require the use of -M and vgsplit
will fail with an error if not.  I've updated the man page to recommend
the usage of -M in this case.

2aabcc1c1c Add devices/data_alignment_detection to lvm.conf.
Adds 'data_alignment_detection' config option to the devices section of
lvm.conf.  If your kernel provides topology information in sysfs (linux
>= 2.6.31) for the Physical Volume, the start of data area will be
aligned on a multiple of the ’minimum_io_size’ or ’optimal_io_size’
exposed in sysfs.

minimum_io_size is used if optimal_io_size is undefined (0).  If both
md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are enabled the result
of data_alignment_detection is used.

If the pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset option is not specified the start
of a PV's aligned data area will be shifted by the associated
'alignment_offset' exposed in sysfs (unless
devices/data_alignment_offset_detection is disabled in lvm.conf).

3d425215a8 Continue to make --units and --size consistent (in code and man pages):
Update units_to_bytes() to support (S)ectors: 500 bytes.
- 500 byte (S)ectors is of questionable value but it adds to consistency
  if a user happens to use --units S.  This seems better than an error.

Updated test/t-covercmd.sh to test --units [hS]

Document the units that can be displayed via --units uniformly.
- (p)etabytes and (e)xabytes were missing in pvs, vgs and lvs man pages.

Made lvreduce man page "... in units of megabytes." consistent (with the
lvextend and lvresize man pages).

01b988cfd8 Cleanup pvs, vgs, and lvs "-o" section in man pages (rhbz 500861).
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500861
- Update list of fields/columns for each command (a few missing).
- Update list order to match "-o help" output (easier to verify field list)
- Add "{pv|vg|lv}_all" description.
- Move "-o help" sentence above column/field list.

New sample man page for lvs (pvs and vgs are similar):
       -o, --options
              Comma-separated ordered list of columns.  Precede the list  with  ’+’  to  append  to  the
              default selection of columns instead of replacing it.

              Use  -o  lv_all to select all logical volume columns, and -o seg_all to select all logical
              segment columns.

              Use -o help to view the full list of columns available.

              Column names  include:  lv_uuid,  lv_name,  lv_attr,  lv_major,  lv_minor,  lv_read_ahead,
              lv_kernel_major,  lv_kernel_minor,  lv_kernel_read_ahead, lv_size, seg_count, origin, ori-
              gin_size, snap_percent, copy_percent, move_pv, convert_lv, lv_tags,  mirror_log,  modules,
              segtype,  stripes,  stripesize,  regionsize, chunksize, seg_start, seg_start_pe, seg_size,
              seg_tags, seg_pe_ranges, devices.

              With --segments, any "seg_" prefixes  are  optional;  otherwise  any  "lv_"  prefixes  are
              optional.  Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can also be chosen.

0b502933c5 Introduce lvm2_install target.
Buildsystem support device-mapper only install,
but generic install tagret includes both dm+lvm2.

For distribution which uses separate install_device-mapper,
there is no way how to install lvm2 only
(so after installing lvm2 for packaging purposes
built system must remove installed device-mapper files).

Fix it by allowing lvm2_install target, similarily like
install_cluster for clvmd.

(install = install_device-mapper + install_lvm2)

8929ce6651 Add --dataalignment to pvcreate to specify alignment of data area. (mbroz)
This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.

Intended behaviour of the code now:

  pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.

  In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.

  Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0.  As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).

Reports the size of the smallest metadata area in a PV or a VG.
Useful to confirm pvcreate --metadatasize or pvmetadatasize setting in
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf file.

NOTE: Actual value in these fields will most always differ from that
given in pvcreate options due to rounding and alignment effects.
