The code seems to work fine for the most trivial case - moving a
simple cache LV. However, it can cause problems when trying to
split out other LVs on different VGs and there hasn't been sufficient
testing for LV stacks that contain cache to enable the code. So,
we actively disable what is already broken and wait for the next
release to fix it.
Start to convert percentage size handling in lvresize to the new
standard. Note in the man pages that this code is incomplete.
Fix a regression in non-percentage allocation in my last check in.
This is what I am aiming for:
-l<extents>
-l<percent> LV/ORIGIN
sets or changes the LV size based on the specified quantity
of logical logical extents (that might be backed by
a higher number of physical extents)
-l<percent> PVS/VG/FREE
sets or changes the LV size so as to allocate or free the
desired quantity of physical extents (that might amount to a
lower number of logical extents for the LV concerned)
-l+50%FREE - Use up half the remaining free space in the VG when
carrying out this operation.
-l50%VG - After this operation, this LV should be using up half the
space in the VG.
-l200%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l+100%LV - Double the logical size of this LV.
-l-50%LV - Reduce the logical size of this LV by half.
Test raid10 availability as a target feature (instead of doing
it in all the places where raid10 should be checked).
TODO: activation needs runtime validation - so metadata with raid10
are skipped from activation in user-friendly way in lvm2.
Skip over LVs that have a cache LV in their tree of LV dependencies
when performing a pvmove.
This means that users cannot move a cache pool or a cache LV's origin -
even when that cache LV is used as part of another LV (e.g. a thin pool).
The new test (pvmove-cache-segtypes.sh) currently builds up various LV
stacks that incorporate cache LVs. pvmove tests are then performed to
ensure that cache related LVs are /not/ moved. Once pvmove is enabled
for cache, those tests will switch to ensuring that the LVs /are/
moved.
Several fixes for the recent changes that treat allocation percentages
as upper limits.
Improve messages to make it easier to see what is happening.
Fix some cases that failed with errors when they didn't need to.
Fix crashes when first_seg() returns NULL.
Remove a couple of log_errors that were actually debugging messages.
Remove 'skip' argument passed into the function.
We always used '0' - as this is the only supported
option (-K) and there is no complementary option.
Also add some testing for behaviour of skipping.
There are typically 2 functions for the more advanced segment types that
deal with parameters in lvcreate.c: _get_*_params() and _check_*_params().
(Not all segment types name their functions according to this scheme.)
The former function is responsible for reading parameters before the VG
has been read. The latter is for sanity checking and possibly setting
parameters after the VG has been read.
This patch adds a _check_raid_parameters() function that will determine
if the user has specified 'stripe' or 'mirror' parameters. If not, the
proper number is computed from the list of PVs the user has supplied or
the number that are available in the VG. Now that _check_raid_parameters()
is available, we move the check for proper number of stripes from
_get_* to _check_*.
This gives the user the ability to create RAID LVs as follows:
# 5-device RAID5, 4-data, 1-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 4')
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# 5-device RAID6, 3-data, 2-parity (i.e. implicit '-i 3')
~> lvcreate --type raid6 -L 100G -n lv vg /dev/sd[abcde]1
# If 5 PVs in VG, 4-data, 1-parity RAID5
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -L 100G -n lv vg
Considerations:
This patch only affects RAID. It might also be useful to apply this to
the 'stripe' segment type. LVM RAID may include RAID0 at some point in
the future and the implicit stripes would apply there. It would be odd
to have RAID0 be able to auto-determine the stripe count while 'stripe'
could not.
The only draw-back of this patch that I can see is that there might be
less error checking. Rather than informing the user that they forgot
to supply an argument (e.g. '-i'), the value would be computed and it
may differ from what the user actually wanted. I don't see this as a
problem, because the user can check the device count after creation
and remove the LV if they have made an error.
Introduce a new parameter called "approx_alloc" that is set when the
desired size of a new LV is specified in percentage terms. If set,
the allocation code tries to get as much space as it can but does not
fail if can at least get some.
One of the practical implications is that users can now specify 100%FREE
when creating RAID LVs, like this:
~> lvcreate --type raid5 -i 2 -l 100%FREE -n lv vg
Users now have the ability to convert their existing logical volumes
into cached logical volumes. A cache pool LV must be specified using
the '--cachepool' argument. The cachepool is the small, fast LV used
to cache the large, slow LV that is being converted.
This patch allows users to convert existing logical volumes into
cache pool LVs. Since cache pool LVs consist of data and metadata
sub-LVs, there is also the '--poolmetadata' (similar to thin_pool)
which allows for the specification of the metadata device.
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'. An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first. Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.
Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow
Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast
The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type. It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.
If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV. They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool
If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv
In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.
This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools. Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs. They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.
Avoid use of external origin with size unaligned/incompatible with
thin pool chunk size, since the last chunk is not correctly provisioned
when it is overwritten.
Avoid starting conversion of the LV to the thin pool and thin volume
at the same time. Since this is mostly a user mistake, do not try
to just convert to one of those type, since we cannot assume if the
user wanted LV to become thin volume or thin pool.
Before the fix tool reported pretty strange internal error:
Internal error: Referenced LV lvol1_tdata not listed in VG mvg.
Fixed output:
lvconvert --thinpool lvol0 -T mvg/lvol0
Can't use same LV mvg/lvol0 for thin pool and thin volume.
In preparation for other segment types that create and use "pools", we
s/create_thin_pool/create_pool/. This way it is not awkward when creating
a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".
Several fields used to display 0 if undefined. Recent changes
to the way the fields are reported threw away some tests for
valid pointers, leading to segfaults with 'pvs -o all'.
Reinstate the original behaviour.
Boolean algebra changes for process_each_lv_in_vg().
1st.
Drop process_lv variable since it's not needed.
2nd.
process_lv was always initilized to 0 - so the condition was always true.
It the condition (!tags_supplied && !lvargs_supplied) evaluates as "true",
process_all is already set to 1, so skip vg tags evaluation.
3rd.
Move check for matching lv name in the front of lv tags check
since this check can't be skipped for lvargs_matched counter.
If this filter evaluates to true, skip lv tags evaluation.
Since activation takes only read-lock, there could be
multiple activation running in parallel.
So instead of checking before taking any real lock,
let the locking resolve the problem and just
detect if the reason for failure has been remote
exlusive activation.
It should be also faster, since each activation does
not need to do explicit lock query.
For merging thin snapshot we have to do couple extra
checks before we allow this operation.
We pretend thin-snapshot and thin-origin
are tied together and we have to properly
maintain locking.
At the end of lvconvert --snapshot with an active origin, the origin
gets reloaded.
Commit 57c0f72b1d ("lvconvert: use
_reload_lv on more places") accidentally replaced this with a snapshot
LV reload (which does nothing because only the origin is active).
Replacement of pv_read by find_pv_by_name in commit
651d5093ed caused spurious
error messages when running pvcreate or vgextend against an
unformatted device.
