Since extent_size is no longer power_of_2 this max region size
evalution was rather producing random bitsize as a combination
of lowest bit from number of extents and extent size itself.
Correct calculation to use whole LV size and pick biggest
possible power of 2 value smaller then UINT32_MAX.
Drop mirrored mirror log limitation that applies only in very limited
use-case and actually mirrored mirror log is deprecated anyway.
So 'disk' mirror log is selecting the correct minimal size, and
bigger size is only enforced with real mirrored mirror log.
Also for mirrored mirror log we let use 'smalled' region size if needed
so if user uses 1G region size, we still keep small mirror log
with much smaller region size in this case when needed.
Also mirror log extent calculation is now properly detecting error
with too big mirrors where previosly trimmed uint32_t was applies
unintentionally.
Only policy 'smq' is meant to be used with format version 2.
Code used to let pass 'mq' policy also with format 2. But 'mq'
is obsoloted wth smq and kernel currently matches it. But this
is incompatible with older original mq logic - so disallow creation
of this rather useless combination.
In case a newly created RaidLV is blacklisted using config
\"activation { volume list = [ ... ] }\" (i.e. its SubLVs stay inactive),
the metadata SubLVs can't get wiped thus failing the creation.
As a result, the RaidLV together with its SubLVs
is left behind in an inconsistent state.
Fix by removing the RaidLV and provide a hint about volume_list reasoning.

Detect we are in prioritezed section instead of critical one,
since these operation were supposed to NOT be happining during
whole set of operation.
This patch fixes verification of udev operations.
Just like with lvcreate, this lvconvert case also need to properly
check which LV actually holds lock for cached origin - as it might
be i.e. thin-pool tdata subLV.
If componet devices could be activated alone, ensure they are not breaking
common commands.
TODO: mostly likely this is not a definite list of all needed checks
and more will come later.
This is the 'last' place where a LV is present in metadata.
Any removed device should not be left active in dm table.
So this check is an extra validation protection to capture any
forgotten deactivation (adding 1 extra ioctl into lvremove path)
Introduce:
lv_is_component() check is LV is actually a component device.
lv_component_is_active() checking if any component device is active.
lv_holder_is_active() is any component holding device is active.
Instead of checking with existing size of external origin LV,
use correctly the new 'wanted' size of this LV whether it fits
the limitiation requirements for older thin-pool target.
Otherwise code started to the the resize, updates metadata and
just fails during 'resize' in case the LV was active. For
inactive LV operation could have actually passed.
Checking here for cache_pool is not necessary and in effect
the check is not even right - since there are internal
states that do allow to active such LV.
Fix missing 'externalLV' traversing for thins with external origins.
Replace extra for_each_sub_lv_except_pools() with better
internal logic allowing selectively to cut of processed subLV tree.
Extend error code for function 'fn()' when it returns -1 it will
stop futher tree scan for given LV.
Also a bit simplify code to have only one place that
is calling 'fn()' and use level counter to know
depth of traversing.
Update renaming travering to skip trees for pools
and external origins.
Build dso plugin name during segtype initialisation and just
use the string during command life-time.
Also slightlt update message verbosity and make it very_verbose
when operation is going to be made and 'verbose' when it's done.
Avoid using same return code for reporting 2 different things
and stricly report error code by return value and add new
parameter for reporting monitoring status.
This makes easier to recognize which error we got from dm_event
and continue only with ENOENT.
Use properly exclusive activation when reactivating origin after
snapshot merge (since origin must have been previously also exlusively
activated).
Same applies when converting volumes to thin-pool or cache.
Previously used 'only' local activation incorrectly allowed local
activation of some targets (i.e. raid) - thus 'leaking' chance to
activate same device on another node - which can be a problem
for device types like raid.
No longer use the external 'result' pointer internally to set up the
cached label. The callback _set_label_read_result() is now given the
internal label pointer directly
Callers that don't need the result are no longer required to pass a
label pointer into label_read().
Even after writing some metadata encountered problems, some commands
continue (rightly or wrongly) and attempt to make further changes.
Once an mda is marked MDA_FAILED, don't try to use it again.
This also applies when reverting, where one loop already skips
failed mdas but the other doesn't.
This fixes some device open_count warnings on relevant failure paths.
Mark the first metadata area on each text format PV as MDA_PRIMARY.
Pass this information down to the device layer so that when
there are two metadata areas on a block device, we can easily
distinguish two independent streams of I/O.
Introduce enum dev_io_reason to categorise block device I/O
in debug messages so it's obvious what it is for.
DEV_IO_SIGNATURES /* Scanning device signatures */
DEV_IO_LABEL /* LVM PV disk label */
DEV_IO_MDA_HEADER /* Text format metadata area header */
DEV_IO_MDA_CONTENT /* Text format metadata area content */
DEV_IO_FMT1 /* Original LVM1 metadata format */
DEV_IO_POOL /* Pool metadata format */
DEV_IO_LV /* Content written to an LV */
DEV_IO_LOG /* Logging messages */
If the recovery of the repleced leg(s) of a RaidLV created without
initial resynchronization (i.e. "lvcreate --nosync ...") got
interrupted, it can't be extended because of the < 100% sync rate.
In case caller passes in changed stripe size when reshaping raid4/5
to 1 stripe aiming to convert to raid1 and optionally to linear,
ignore it to prevent data corruption.
When pvmove is finished and metadata are updated, the code missed
to merge possible mergable segments - so add explicit merging
call after pvmoved volumes are unlocked.
This avoids weird results where i.e. lvs could have been reporting
non-matching segments as lvs upon metadata read is doing silent segment
merging while dm table left after pvmove was still preserving
non-merged segments.
In some cases the message could be slightly misleading so use
here rather conditional.
TODO:
In future we may possibly further tune the message in case we are
certain the level of redundancy protection has not been reduced.
Replace complex code with standard lv_update_and_reload_origin().
Extra suspend should not be necessary.
(If they would be - dependency tree would have bug for fixing).
Only lv_committed() now uses vg->vg_committed and it appears redundant
if its contents match the enclosing VG so don't waste cycles creating it
when that's known to be true when no write lock is held so the struct
won't get modified.
- Use 'lvmcache' consistently instead of 'metadata cache'
- Always use 5 characters for source line number
- Remember to convert uuids into printable form
- Use <no name> rather than (null) when VG has no name.
If the suspend/resume sequence would leave some device in suspend
for possible later resume, backup cannot be takes (fs holding backups
could be still frozen in critical section())
Move check for presence of raid4 into the right place
so there is no way how to hit activation of any LV
with raid4 on kernel which does not support it.
Commit 763db8aab0 rejects 2-legged
conversions to striped/raid0 but different messages are displayed
for raid0 or striped. This commit provides the same rejection messages.
raid4/5 LVs may only be converted to striped or raid0/raid0_meta
in case they have at least 3 legs. 2-legged raid4/5 are a result
of either converting a raid1 to raid4/5 (takeover) or converting
a raid4/5 with more than 2 legs to raid1 with 2 legs (reshape).
The raid4/5 personalities map those as raid1,
thus reject conversion to striped/raid0.
Resolves: rhbz1511047
Since vg_validate() now rejects LVs without segments and
insert_layer_for_segments_on_pv() gets just created
'layer_lv' without segment, it needs to be hidden
from vg->lvs during processing of _align_segment_boundary_to_pe_range()
as this function calls lv_validate() and now requires
vg to be consistent. LV is then put back into vg->lvs.
Since 4fa5add6b1 ("pvcreate: Wipe cached
bootloaderarea when wiping label.") label_remove is responsible
for the lvmcache_del. (toollib and liblvm need fixing to share
the code.)
vgsplit shares the vg_rename code so that must only set the PV_MOVED_VG
flag introduced in commit 486ed10848
("vgmerge: Fix intermediate metadata corruption") on PVs that moved.
Since both lvcreate and lvconvert needs to check for same
type of allowed origin for snapshot - move the code into
a single function.
This way we also fix several inconsitencies where snapshot
has been allowed by mistake either through lvcreate or
lvconvert path.
Converting from one raid level to another, no changes
of stripes or stripesize can be requested because those
are subject to reshaping. I.e. the process requires to
takeover first and secondly request raid algorithm,
stripe or stripesize changes.
Ignore any related changes display warninngs
and proceed with the takeover.
Without this patch, a takeover requesting
stripesize change causes data corruption!
Do not allow to take snapshot of mirror/raid leg or log or metadata LV.
This was actually never supported, but user was able to create it,
and this put device stack in hardly fixable state (needs manual work).
This prevents such creation to pass.
Also improve validation when recreating snapshot volume type
from origin and COW volume.
Replaced the confusing device error message "not found (or ignored by
filtering)" by either "not found" or "excluded by a filter".
(Later we should be able to say which filter.)
Left the the liblvm code paths alone.
Fixes the following case with 3PVs and 3 legs "mirror" LV:

vgmerge suffers from a similar problem to the one fixed in commit
8146548d25 ("vgsplit: Fix intermediate
metadata corruption.")
When merging, splitting or renaming VGs, use a new PV status flag
PV_MOVED_VG to mark the PVs that hold metadata with the old VG name and
use this to provide PV-level granularity instead of incorrectly assuming
all PVs in the VG are the same.
In a shared VG, only allow pvmove with a named LV,
so that only PE's used by the LV will be moved.
The LV is then activated exclusively, ensuring that
the PE's being moved are not used from another host.
Previously, pvmove was mistakenly allowed on a full PV.
This won't work when LVs using that PV are active on
other hosts.
lvm2 warned about zeroing and too big chunksize (>=512KiB), but
only during lvconvert, so lvcreate was creating thin-pools
without any warning about possible slowness of thin provisioning
because of zeroing.
Since _deactivate_and_remove_lvs() is used in more then one place,
move the needed udev synchronization into this function so other
users automatically get correct fs state before next dm manipulation.
Assumption here is that this udev synchronization 'delay' may also
prevent to 'early' table reloads which might cause kernel problems
for md-core - but we may need more generic time-limited reload
frequency for raid devices.
Note: on udev-less system there will be almost no delay.
Commit 34504855a7 introduced
flag LV_RESHAPE_DATA_OFFSET and used it to avoid incompatible
activation on older runtime.
Enhance vg_validate() raid checking functions with checks for it.
In order to reject out of place reshaping with segment data_offset
field on old runtime, add a respective segment type incompatibility
flag causing "+RESHAPE_DATA_OFFSET" to be suffixed to the segment
type name.
When reshape space is allocated anew, an update and reload is needed to
promote the new size to the cluster node with the exclusively active RaidLV
or reloading the RaidLV will fail with a size related error. Additionally,
store "data_offset <sectors>" with the RaidLV in the lvm2 metadata so that
it can be retrieved on cluster nodes.
Process allocation of reshape space on a 2-legged raid4/5 (interim layout
to convert from/to linear via raid1) properly in the cluster.

If the activation step in lvcreate fails (e.g. the specified
minor number is already used), then the lvcreate is reverted,
but the LV lock in lvmlockd was not being unlocked or properly
freed.
With commit 41c10034aa we actually
do require LV to be used with _vg_write_lv_suspend_commit_backup().
So write a proper separte single wrapper for write && commit && backup.
Since we discovered status reporting from 'md' goes from large set
of weird states we can't just decided based on this word.
So let it pass for rebuild and idle as well
and check for health devices afterwards.
When raid leg rimage device is marked as 'D'ead by mdcore,
lvm2 was not able to replace such device with allocate policy,
as device has not appared as missing.
Add detection of transiently failing devices.
Basically reverting commit 58a9f88b8c.
We can use origin_only in case we are snapshot's origin,
as we do support this stack.
So when we are 'uncaching' origin+snaps - we do need to reload only
origin and we do not need to play with snaps.
Handle change of 'region size' better and follow also standard rule
if the command can't success (i.e. size is already same) we return
error for all such cases.
Also log_pring more info about adjusted value (just like we
do for rounding)
Also avoid keep pointers on 'display_*' values - they are in
ringbuffer for immediate use - not to be kept across multiple calls
(as they could be already overwritten by later calls) - so dropped
seg_region_size_str
Since cache LV can be a stacked device, there is no real reason
trying to use slight optimised tree for origin_only cache reload
(it could be even wrongly implemented in this case).
We can easily go with stardard tree load here.
When user runs command like 'lvconvert --splitcache' the operation
might be actually either slow or not making any progress in kernel,
so lets give user a chance to abort such operation.
When user press 'Ctrl+C' device table is restored to pre-flushing state.
Remove explicit activation of SubLVs and let lv_update_and_reload()
perform the proper (pre-)loading sequencing of tables.
This avoids related callback functions which are removed.

When lock-holding LV differs from actually request locked LV,
we drop origin_only flag as it has no use - it'd be applied
on completely different LV.
Example of problem:
Raid is thin-pool _tdata LV.
Raid run origin_only locking on stacked device.
As lock holder is discovered thinLV.
Whole origin_only operation is then applied only on thinLV
changing the meaning of whole operation.
NOTE: this patch does not change anything for LV that are
already top-level lock holding LVs (i.e. thinLVs, snahoshots/origins).
Disable until we have a proper fix for reshape space allocation,
switching it to begin/end of rimages and activation in the cluster.

Enhance reporting code, so it does not need to do 'extra' ioctl to
get 'status' of normal raid and provide percentage directly.
When we have 'merging' snapshot into raid origin, we still need to get
this secondary number with extra status call - however, since 'raid'
is always a single segment LV - we may skip 'copy_percent' call as
we directly know the percent and also with better precision.
NOTE: for mirror we still base reported number on the percetage of
transferred extents which might get quite imprecisse if big size
of extent is used while volume itself is smaller as reporting jump
steps are much bigger the actual reported number provides.
2nd.NOTE: raid lvs line report already requires quite a few extra status
calls for the same device - but fix will be need slight code improval.
For the test clean-up, I was providing too many devices to the first
command - possibly allowing it to allocate in the wrong place. I was
also not providing a device for the second command - virtually ensuring
the test was not performing correctly at times.
This patch ensures that under normal conditions (i.e. not during repair
operations) that users are prevented from removing devices that would
cause data loss.
When a RAID1 is undergoing its initial sync, it is ok to remove all but
one of the images because they have all existed since creation and
contain all the data written since the array was created. OTOH, if the
RAID1 was created as a result of an up-convert from linear, it is very
important not to let the user remove the primary image (the source of
all the data). They should be allowed to remove any devices they want
and as many as they want as long as one original (primary) device is left
during a "recover" (aka up-convert).
This fixes bug 1461187 and includes the necessary regression tests.
Add the checks necessary to distiguish the state of a RAID when the primary
source for syncing fails during the "recover" process.
It has been possible to hit this condition before (like when converting from
2-way RAID1 to 3-way and having the first two devices die during the "recover"
process). However, this condition is now more likely since we treat linear ->
RAID1 conversions as "recover" now - so it is especially important we cleanly
handle this condition.
Previously, we were treating non-RAID to RAID up-converts as a "resync"
operation. (The most common example being 'linear -> RAID1'.) RAID to
RAID up-converts or rebuilds of specific RAID images are properly treated
as a "recover" operation.
Since we were treating some up-convert operations as "resync", it was
possible to have scenarios where data corruption or data loss were
possibilities if the RAID hadn't been able to sync completely before a
loss of the primary source devices. In order to ensure that the user took
the proper precautions in such scenarios, we required a '--force' option
to be present. Unfortuneately, the force option was rendered useless
because there was no way to distiguish the failure state of a potentially
destructive repair from a nominal one - making the '--force' option a
requirement for any RAID1 repair!
We now treat non-RAID to RAID up-converts properly as "recover" operations.
This eliminates the scenarios that can potentially cause data loss or
data corruption; and this eliminates the need for the '--force' requirement.
This patch removes the requirement to specify '--force' for RAID repairs.
Two of the sync actions performed by the kernel (aka MD runtime) are
"resync" and "recover". The "resync" refers to when an entirely new array
is going through the process of initializing (or resynchronizing after an
unexpected shutdown). The "recover" is the process of initializing a new
member device to the array. So, a brand new array with all new devices
will undergo "resync". An array with replaced or added sub-LVs will undergo
"recover".
These two states are treated very differently when failures happen. If any
device is lost or replaced while "resync", there are no worries. This is
because any writes created from the inception of the array have occurred to
all the devices and can be safely recovered. Even though non-initialized
portions will still be resync'ed with uninitialized data, it is ok. However,
if a pre-existing device is lost (aka, the original linear device in a
linear -> raid1 convert) during a "recover", data loss can be the result.
Thus, writes are errored by the kernel and recovery is halted. The failed
device must be restored or removed. This is the correct behavior.
Unfortunately, we were treating an up-convert from linear as a "resync"
when we should have been treating it as a "recover". This patch
removes the special case for linear upconvert. It allows each new image
sub-LV to be marked with a rebuild flag and treats the array as 'in-sync'.
This has the correct effect of causing the upconvert to be treated as a
"recover" rather than a "resync". There is no need to flag these two states
differently in LVM metadata, because they are already considered differently
by the kernel RAID metadata. (Any activation/deactivation will properly
resume the "recover" process and not a "resync" process.)
We make this behavior change based on the presense of dm-raid target
version 1.9.0+.
On conversion from raid10 to raid0 (takeover), all rmeta
devices and the rimage devices of mirrored stripes are
detached from the raid10 LV. The remaining rimage areas
are being shifted down into the slots of the detached
ones hence requiring renames to show proper _N suffix
sequences (e.g. 0,1,2,3 instead of 0,2,4,6). Only the
top-level raid10 LV has a cluster lock, not the detached
SubLVs thus their deactivation is impossible and e.g the
rename from *_rimage_6 to *_rimage_3 will fail. Fix by
activating exclusively before deactivating and removing.
Resolves: rhbz1448123
Prohibit activation of reshaping RaidLVs on incompatible
lvm2 runtime by storing e.g. 'raid5+RESHAPE' segment type
strings in the lvm2 metadata. Incompatible runtime not
supporting reshaping won't be able to activate those thus
avoiding potential data corruption.
Any new non-reshaping lvconvert command will reset the
segment type string from 'raid5+RESHAPE' to 'raid5'.

When a combination of thin-pool chunk size and thin-pool data size
goes beyond addressable limit, such volume creation is directly
prohibited.
Maximum usable thin-pool size is calculated with use of maximal support
metadata size (even when it's created smaller) and given chunk-size.
If the value data size is found to be too big, the command reports
error and operation fails.
Previously thin-pool was created however lots of thin-pool data LV was
not usable and this space in VG has been wasted.
Only support RAID conversions on active LVs.
If we'd accept e.g. upconverting linear -> raid1 on inactive
linear LVs, any LV flags passed to the kernel aren't properly
cleared thus errouneously passing them on every activation.
Add respective check to lv_raid_change_image_count() and
move existing one in lv_raid_convert() for better messages.
Warn about a PV that has the in-use flag set, but appears in
the orphan VG (no VG was found referencing it.)
There are a number of conditions that could lead to this:
. The PV was created with no mdas and is used in a VG with
other PVs (with metadata) that have not yet appeared on
the system. So, no VG metadata is found by lvm which
references the in-use PV with no mdas.
. vgremove could have failed after clearing mdas but
before clearing the in-use flag. In this case, the
in-use flag needs to be manually cleared on the PV.
. The PV may have damanged/unrecognized VG metadata
that lvm could not read.
. The PV may have no mdas, and the PVs with the metadata
may have damaged/unrecognized metadata.
A PV holding VG metadata that lvm can't understand
(e.g. damaged, checksum error, unrecognized flag)
will appear as an in-use orphan, and will be cleared
by this repair code. Disable this repair until the
code can keep track of these problematic PVs, and
distinguish them from actual in-use orphans.

_check_reappeared_pv() incorrectly clears the MISSING_PV flags of
PVs with unknown devices.
While one caller avoids passing such PVs into the function, the other
doesn't. Move the check inside the function so it's not forgotten.
Without this patch, if the normal VG reading code tries to repair
inconsistent metadata while there is an unknown PV, it incorrectly
considers the missing PVs no longer to be missing and produces
incorrect 'pvs' output omitting the missing PV, for example.
Easy reproducer:
Create a VG with 3 PVs pv1, pv2, pv3.
Hide pv2.
Run vgreduce --removemissing.
Reinstate the hidden PV pv2 and at the same time hide a different PV
pv3.
Run 'pvs' - incorrect output.
Run 'pvs' again - correct output.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1434054

where is_missing_pv() is false, but pv->dev is NULL,

This reverts commit 1e4462dbfb
in favour of an enhanced solution avoiding changes in liblvm
completetly by checking the target versions in libdm and emitting
the respective parameter lines.
The libdevmapper interface compares existing table line retrieved from
the kernel to new table line created to decide if it can suppress a reload.
Any difference between input and output of the table line is taken to be a
change thus causing a table reload.
The dm-raid target started to misorder the raid parameters (e.g. 'raid10_copies')
starting with dm-raid target version 1.9.0 up to (excluding) 1.11.0. This causes
runtime failures (limited to raid10 as of tests) and needs to be reversed to allow
e.g. old lvm2 uspace to run properly.
Check for the aforementioned version range and adjust creation of the table line
to the respective (mis)ordered sequence inside and correct order outside the range
(as described for the raid target in the kernels Documentation/device-mapper/dm-raid.txt).
Starting with dm-raid target version 1.9.0 shrinking of mapped devices is supported.
Check for support being present in lvresize and lvreduce.

it's automatically assumed to be the version 1 (backward compatible).
To ensure older lvm2 will not 'miss-read' metadata with new version 2,
such LV is marked with METADATA_FORMAT status flag (segment is
specifying metadata format). So when cache uses metadata format 2,
it will become inaccesible on older system without such support.
(kernel dm cache < 1.10, lvm2 < 2.02.169).
Add new profilable configation setting to let user select
which metadata format of a created cache pool he wish to use.
By default the 'best' available format is autodetected at runtime,
but user may enforce format 1 or 2 ATM.
Code also detects availability for metadata2 supporting cache target.
In case of troubles user may easily Disable usage of this feature
by placing 'metadata2' into global/cache_disabled_features list.
As now we can properly recognize all paramerters for pool creation,
we may drop PASS_ARG_ defines and rely on '_UNSELECTED' or 0 entries
as being those without user given args.
When setting are not given on command line - 'update' function
fill them from profiles or configuration. For this 'profile' arg
was needed to be passed around and since 'VG' itself is not needed,
it's been all replaced with 'cmd, profile, extents_size' args.
Since cache chunk might be huge and there is no technical need
to enforce rounding and there is actually more 'real' VG space
used then necessary - keep rounding on 'chunk' bounrary only
for thin volumes - where it's the space used anyway.
NB: we support conversion of any-size 'existing' LV into cached LV.
Fix missing reset of '*settings' pointer when no args were given.
Handle cache_chunk settings like all other settings, so it is properly
updated only with non-zero settings and the existing cache-pool
chunk_size is not being reconfigured.
User can specify metadata profile which stores important cache
geometry data for easy configuration.
Fix missing support for getting chunk_size, cache_mode, cache_policy
for a cache/cache pools volumes from configuration or metadata profile.
To more easily recognize unselected state from select '0' state
add new 'THIN_ZERO_UNSELECTED' enum.
Same applies to THIN_DISCARDS_UNSELECTED.
For those we no longer need to use PASS_ARG_ZERO or PASS_ARG_DISCARDS.
Basically code moving operation to have a single place resolving
thin_pool_chunk_size_policy.
Supported are generic & performance profiles.
Function is now shared between thin manipulation code and configuration
_CFG logic to obtain defaults and handle correct reporting upward coding
stack.
In addition to the already supported conversion between 2-legged
raid1 and raid5, raid1 and raid4 can be also converted into each
other with 2 legs (raid4/5 are limited to map a 2-legged raid1).
This patch supports the missing raid4 conversion in the sequence
linear -> 2-legged raid1 -> raid4/5, then restripe to more than one
data stripes for performance and resilience reasons and optionally
convert to striped/raid0.
The other conversion sequence is also possible by converting N-way
striped/raid0 to raid4/5, then restripe to 2 legs followed by a
conversion to raid1 and optionally to linear (loosing all resilience).
On conversion from striped to raid0, data LVs are created
and all segments and their respective areas of the striped
LV are moved across to new segments allocated for the raid0
image LVs. This can cause non-canonical segments to be added
to the image LVs.
Add a call to lv_merge_segments() once all segments have been
added to an image LV to compensate for that. This avoids
unsafe table loads on activation.
Fix comments.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged
raid1 LV causes loss of resilience.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of all resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
Adjust tests.
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV tracking changes
causes loosing partial resilience for any newly written data set.
Full resilience will be provided again after the split off image LV
got merged back in and the new data set got fully synchronized.
Reason being that the data is only stored on the remaining single
writable image during the split.
Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of such partial resilience.
Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.
