New field Data% is able to display info about

Simple Time/Host field are here to display host and time creation.
The RAID plug-in for dmeventd now calls 'lvconvert --repair' to address failures
of devices in a RAID logical volume. The action taken can be either to "warn"
or "allocate" a new device from any spares that may be available in the
volume group. The action is designated by setting 'raid_fault_policy' in
lvm.conf - the default being "warn".
LVM metadata knows only of striped segments - not linear ones.
The activation code detects segments with a single stripe and switches
them to use the linear target.
If the new lvm.conf setting is set to 0 (e.g. in a test script), this
'optimisation' is turned off.
Add filter which tries to check if scanned device is part
of active multipath.
Firstly, only SCSI major number devices are handled in filter.
Then it checks if device has exactly one holder (in sysfs) and
if it is device-mapper device and DM-UUID is prefixed by "MPATH-".
If so, this device is filtered out.
The whole filter can be switched off by setting
mpath_component_detection in lvm.conf.

Go with just 64KiB for stack.
Closer inspection should be made, whether we actually need to play with
settings at all.
Since default stack size is 8MB and gets mapped via page locking thus,
it seems there is no big help with preallocation of stack to some value.
A gentle reminder that anyone relying on the output of reporting commands
like lvs in scripts must use -o to guarantee they get the fields they expect.
The default sequence of fields can change from release to release.
Equally, the 'attr' fields can have new values introduced and/or characters
appended to them.
Makes dumpconfig whole-section output wrong in a different way from before,
but we should be able to merge cft_cmdline properly into cmd->cft now and
remove cascade.
functionality. A number of bugs (copied and pasted all over the code) should
disappear:
- most string lookup based on dm_config_find_node would segfault when
encountering a non-zero integer (the intention there was to print an
error message instead)
- check for required sections in metadata would have been satisfied by
values as well (i.e. not sections)
- encountering a section in place of expected flag value would have
segfaulted (due to assumed but unchecked cn->v != NULL)
leaving behind the LVM-specific parts of the code (convenience wrappers that
handle `struct device` and `struct cmd_context`, basically). A number of
functions have been renamed (in addition to getting a dm_ prefix) -- namely,
all of the config interface now has a dm_config_ prefix.
Add config option to enable crc checking of VG structures.
Currently it's disabled by default.
For the internal test-suite this check it is enabled.
Note: In the case the internal error is detected, debug build with
compile option DEBUG_ENFORCE_POOL_LOCKING helps to catch the source
of the problem.
Implementation described in doc/lvm2-raid.txt.
Basic support includes:
- ability to create RAID 1/4/5/6 arrays
- ability to delete RAID arrays
- ability to display RAID arrays
Notable missing features (not included in this patch):
- ability to clean-up/repair failures
- ability to convert RAID segment types
- ability to monitor RAID segment types
This should be set by default! Normally we have "activation/udev_sync = 1"
in lvm.conf (example.conf.in). But if we use lvm2 without any config file
(or without a definition within '--config' option) the DEFAULT_UDEV_SYNC
is used instead. Together with verify_udev_operations=0 (when we rely on
udev fully), this can cause races as the node could be missing when needed.
(See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723144)
Clvmd detects modifed config file before it takes lv_lock.
If the config file is changed rapidly - the change was ignored within
a seocnd ranged. This patch adds also compare of file size.
So change like some flag for 0 to 1 would pass unnoticed - but
it's quick fix for failing test suite.
FIXME: Implement inotify solution.
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).
This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.
So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".
(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)
Also, add a new 'obtain_device_list_from_udev' setting to lvm.conf with which
we can turn this feature on or off if needed.
If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.
Makes the code more readable and has a smaller number of memory
accesses thus it's small optimisation as well.
For _get_token() optimize number parsing. Check for '.' char only
if it's not a digit. Move pointer incrementation into one place.
For _eat_space() check only p->te for '\0' in skipping of comment line.
Avoid check for '\0' when we know it is space. Also master while loop
doesn't need checking p->tb for '\0'. We just need to check p->tb
isn't already at the end of buffer. This could give 'extra' loop cycle
if we are already there - but safes memory access in every other case.
There is a lot to test.
Two new config settings added that are intended to make the code behave
closely to the way it did before - worth a try if you find problems.
strncpy (which check each byte for \0) is not need as we always copy
the length size - so using memcpy is a bit cheaper.
Add missing log_error message for failed allocation.
Add checks for clonning allocation a fail-out when something is
not allocated correctly.
Also move var declaration to the begining of the function
and fix log_error messages.
To have better control were the config tree could be modified use more
const pointers and very carefully downcast them back to non-const
(for config tree merge).
Add test for NULL from dm_poll_create.
Reorder dm_pool_destroy() before file close and add label out:.
Avoid leaking file descriptor if the allocation fails.
to lvm.conf in the activation section: 'snapshot_autoextend_threshold' and
'snapshot_autoextend_percent', that define how to handle automatic snapshot
extension. The former defines when the snapshot should be extended: when its
space usage exceeds this many percent. The latter defines how much extra space
should be allocated for the snapshot, in percent of its current size.
Add "devices/default_data_alignment" to lvm.conf to control the internal
default that LVM2 uses: 0==64k, 1==1MB, 2==2MB, etc.
If --dataalignment (or lvm.conf's "devices/data_alignment") is specified
then it is always used to align the start of the data area. This means
the md_chunk_alignment and data_alignment_detection are disabled if set.
(Same now applies to pvcreate --dataalignmentoffset, the specified value
will be used instead of the result from data_alignment_offset_detection)
set_pe_align() still looks to use the determined default alignment
(based on lvm.conf's default_data_alignment) if the default is a
multiple of the MD or topology detected values.
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
Introduce --norestorefile to allow user to override the new requirement.
This can also be overridden with "devices/require_restorefile_with_uuid"
in lvm.conf -- however the default is 1.

Allow metadataignore flag to be passed in to pvcreate.
Ideally, more refactoring of the mda allocation / initialization
is warranted, but for now, we just add another parameter to 'add_mda'
to take an existing mda ignored flag. We need to do this or pv_write
loses the state of the mda 'ignored' flag before copying and writing
to disk.
Add a field to struct volume_group to later implement metadata
balancing:
- mda_copies: target # of non-ignored mdas in the VG; default 0 (do
not control pv 'ignore mdas' bit.
This patch just adds the parameter to the structures with the default
values but does not modify any commands. Should be no functional change.

This patch adds a new implementation of locking function instead
of mlockall() that may lock way too much memory (>100MB).
New function instead uses mlock() system call and selectively locks
memory areas from /proc/self/maps trying to avoid locking areas
unused during lock-ed state.
Patch also adds struct cmd_context to all memlock() calls to have
access to configuration.
For backward compatibility functionality of mlockall()
is preserved with "activation/use_mlockall" flag.
As a simple check, locking and unlocking counts the amount of memory
and compares whether values are matching.
the background polldaemon is allowed to start. It can be used
standalone or in conjunction with --refresh or --available y.
Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly
important for snapshot-merge of a root filesystem.
Dracut will be updated to activate all LVs with: --poll n
The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y
NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background
polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and
have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor
initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s)
2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs
if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y'

Add configure --enable-units-compat to set si_unit_consistency off by default.
Use standard output units for 'PE Size' and 'Stripe size' in pv/lvdisplay.
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).

If there is syntax error in metadata, it now prints messages
like:
Couldn't read 'start_extent' for segment 'extent_count'.
Couldn't read all logical volumes for volume group vg_test.
The segment specification is wrong and confusing.
Patch fixes it by introducing "parent" member in config_node which
points to parent section and config_parent_name function, which
provides pointer to node section name.
Also it adds several LV references where possible.
* lib/misc/lvm-file.c (lvm_fclose): New function.
* lib/misc/lvm-file.h (lvm_fclose): Declare it.
* lib/config/config.c (write_config_file): Use the new function to detect
and diagnose unlikely write failure.
* lib/filters/filter-persistent.c (persistent_filter_dump): Likewise.
* lib/format_text/archive.c (archive_vg): Likewise.
* lib/format_text/format-text.c (_vg_write_file): Likewise.
* lib/log/log.c (fin_log): Similar, but use dm_fclose directly.
Include "\n" at end of each fprintf format string.
config/config.c:493: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 5 has type 'long int'
Modified original patch from Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Add --config for overriding most config file settings from cmdline.
Quote arguments when printing command line.
Remove linefeed from 'initialising logging' message.
Add 'Completed' debug message.
Don't attempt library exit after reloading config files.
Always compile with libdevmapper, even if device-mapper is disabled.
Clear many compiler warnings (i386) & associated bugs - hopefully without
introducing too many new bugs:-) (Same exercise required for other archs.)
Default compilation has optimisation - or else use ./configure --enable-debug
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!
Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files. Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.
Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).
e.g. metadata {
dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}
Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
