detected alignment.
NOTE: lvm2 doesn't detect MD 1.2 metadata (now the default on RHEL6) so
for now I'm forcing 1.0 metadata. This was needed to be able to reuse
the existing loop devices but recreate the md device with different
raid0 striping.
The new standard in the storage industry is to default alignment of data
areas to 1MB. fdisk, parted, and mdadm have all been updated to this
default.
Update LVM to align the PV's data area start (pe_start) to 1MB. This
provides a more useful default than the previous default of 64K (which
generally ended up being a 192K pe_start once the first metadata area
was created).
Before this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 188.00k 192.00k
After this patch:
# pvs -o name,vg_mda_size,pe_start
PV VMdaSize 1st PE
/dev/sdd 1020.00k 1.00m
The heuristic for setting the default alignment for LVM data areas is:
- If the default value (1MB) is a multiple of the detected alignment
then just use the default.
- Otherwise, use the detected value.
In practice this means we'll almost always use 1MB -- that is unless:
- the alignment was explicitly specified with --dataalignment
- or MD's full stripe width, or the {minimum,optimal}_io_size exceeds
1MB
- or the specified/detected value is not a power-of-2
isn't already available (in /proc/mdstat).
switch to requiring 2.6.33 for the alignment_offset tests; 2.6.{31,32}
alignment_offset values aren't reliable. 2.6.33 _should_ have mkp's
alignment_offset fixes but so far it doesn't (as of 2.6.33-rc4).
Now uppercase letters imply Si units, so use lowercase everywhere.
We could stay with uppercase, but then we'd have to deal with rounding, etc.
Also, some output / error messages change slightly (instead of "GB" we're
now saying "GiB").
One test enhancement might be to add some new tests for the units changes
but for now let's just get the test back to passing.
