Make sure log/prefix is set to "" when getting the list of VG names.
We need this for the format to be correct so it's properly searched
through later on.
$ vgcreate vgA /dev/sda
Volume group "vgA" successfully created
$ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
$ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
(the new VG name is prefix of existing VG name)
$ vgimportclone -n vg /dev/sdb
(the new VG name is suffix of existing VG name)
$ vgimportclone -n gA /dev/sdc
Before this patch:
------------------
(we end up with "vg1" and "gA1" names with the "1" suffix which is not needed)
$ vgs -o vg_name
VG
gA1
vg1
vgA
With this patch applied:
------------------------
(we end up with "vg" and "gA" names as they're unique already and no extra suffix is added)
$ # vgs -o vg_name
VG
gA
vg
vgA
Of course, if the name supplied is not unique, the number is added correctly:
$ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
$ vgimportclone -n vgA /dev/sdb
$ vgs -o vg_name
VG
vgA
vgA1
We can replace the expressions with awk/grep/cut/tr with --select now and
more suitable reporting options and modes. Also, we don't need to check
the temporary lvm.conf generated within vgimportclone script since we're
generating it ourselves now using lvmconfig, not using sed anymore like
it was before (so we can be pretty sure it's correct - we use lvmconfig
now even for generating the lvm.conf itself).
Commit 00b36ef06a had a typo
and missed '{' for shell variable, thus command used slightly
different 'tmp' dir name for cache dir (with extra '}').
Such change was unnoticed until a recent fix in persistent
filter, lvm2 missed to update cache file when --config
was specified.
The result was, /tmp dir was accumulating snap.XXXXX} dirs when
running vgimportclose script.
The arg check using pvs is unnecessary. If the arg is not a PV,
the command will just fail later. Using the pvs command at this
point in the command is a problem when lvmetad is running, because
the pvs command does not report duplicate PVs when using lvmetad.
(Alternatively, use_lvmetad could be disabled by adding a --config
override to this pvs command.)
All the LVM commands are run in mode without lvmetad use (since lvmetad
can't handle duplicates). When we're finished with vgimportclone, we
need to notify lvmetad about changes.
Before this patch (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb contains a copy VG called "vg"):

The "restart lvmetad before enabling it" message is a bit misleading
here - we should probably suppress this one, but we can't suppress
warning messages selectively at the moment and we don't want to lose
other warning/error messages printed...
With current dumpconfig, we can generate lvm.conf easily - we can merge
current lvm.conf with the config given on cmd line:
lvm dumpconfig --mergedconfig --config "..."
This is a bit simpler than using awk and it also avoids problems when some of
the configuration is missing in existing lvm.conf file and hardcoded defaults
are used instead. The dumpconfig handles this transparently.
There is no point eating stderr for these commands. In fact the
redirect causes confusion and hurts dubugging.
Also reword an error message if the pvs command fails so as not be
certain that a device is not a PV. Coupled with removing the stderr
redirect this will improve the user experience in the face of errors.
The global filter in system's lvm.conf may conflict with the custom filter we
set up in vgimportclone (they can easily fail to intersect). Since we explicitly
avoid talking to lvmetad in vgimportclone, it is safe and reasonable to do so.
Some major distributions are still using 'mawk' and they are not using
the latest version - we end here with hidden dependency on the latest
version of mawk (1.3.4) while i.e. Debian Lenny seems to stay with 1.3.3.
So we end with completely broken vgimportclone script on such system.
We would need to check for proper support of :space: and abort build if
it doesn't work or simplier replace [:space:] with [ \t] which seems
sufficient to make it work (as can be seen in this patch)
A better fix would be to use command line parameter override - leaving
as FIXME comment.
This patch makes t-vgimportclone.sh test passing on Lenny.
- validate the specified device is a PV and that it is in a VG
- automatically enable DEBUG (-d) if >= 4 -v instances were supplied
- preserve TMP_LVM_SYSTEM_DIR if it contains an lvm.conf and -d was
specified
- fix handling of special-case where PV is listed as "unknown device"
- more descriptive error when a PV is missing ("unknown device")
- unset LVM_SYSTEM_DIR if it was not originally set
- skip final vgscan if no changes were made
