When showing sizes with 'H|human' units we do use standard rounding.
This however is confusing users from time to time,
when the printed number uses some biger units i.e. GiB and there is just
tiny fraction of space missing.
So here is some real-life example with new 'r' unit.
$lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 1.99g
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- <2.00g
lvol2 vg -wi-a----- <2.01g
Meaning is - lvol1 has 'slightly' less then 2.00g - from sign '<' user
can be aware the LV doesn't have full 2.00GiB in size so he
will be less surpriced allocation of 2G volume will not succeed.
$ vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg 2 2 0 wz--n- <6,00g <2,01g
For uses needing 'old' undecorated human unit simply will continue
to use 'H|h' units.
The new R|r may further change when we would recongnize some
other way how to improve readability.
Commit e947c362dd introduced
config_settings.h file for central place to store all definitions for
config options. By mistake, it used report/colums_as_rows instead
of report/columns_as_rows (missing "n" in "columns").
Commit 3928c96a37 introduced
new defaults for raid number of stripes, which may cause
backwards compatibility issues with customer scripts.
Adding configurable option 'raid_stripe_all_devices' defaulting
to '0' (i.e. off = new behaviour) to select the old behaviour
of using all PVs in the VG or those provided on the command line.
In case any scripts rely on the old behaviour, just set
'raid_strip_all_devices = 1'.

New report/output_format configuration sets the output format used
for all LVM commands globally. Currently, there are 2 formats
recognized:
- basic (the classical basic output with columns and rows, used by default)
- json (output is in json format)
The new report/compact_output_cols setting has exactly the same effect
as report/compact_output setting. The difference is that with the new
setting it's possible to define which cols should be compacted exactly
in contrast to all cols in case of report/compact_output.
In case both compact_output and compact_output_cols is enabled/set,
the compact_output prevails.
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols=""
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=1
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
Commit 9403edbb93 move location of
configure.h and lvm-version.h.
Let's try even better place then /conf dir which should be left
for user configurable files.
Put these files right into include dir.
Relocate generated configure.h and lvm-version.h outside
of compilable .c source tree.
The reason is behind - when compiling in builddir != srcdir
the generated file in lib/misc/configure.h was used for all compiled
source file except ones located in lib/misc dir - those would have used
configure.h file located in this dir - if there have existed one (i.e.
from some other build)
This problem was only visible, when srcdir == buildir was used before
trying to use srcdri != builddir (as configure.h appeared then in
srcdir).
Require global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options to be always defined.
If not defined directly by user in the configuration and if there's no
concrete default option to use, make "" (empty string) the default one -
it's then clearly visible in the "lvmconfig --type default" (and
generated lvm.conf) and also it makes its handling in the code more
straightforward so we don't need to handle undefined values.
This means, if there are no default values for these settings defined,
we end up with this generated now:
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options = [ "" ]
So the value is never undefined and if it is, it's an error.
(The cache_repair_options is actually not used in the code at the moment,
but once the code using this setting is in, it will follow the same logic
as used for thin_repair_options.)
Just like we have DEFAULT_USE_LVMETAD (or DEFUALT_USE_LVMPOLLD), use
fallback_to_lvm1=1 lvm.conf setting if we configured lvm2 with
--enable-lvm1-fallback and use fallback_to_lvm1=0 otherwise.
Also, generate proper lvm.conf.in with unconfigured value.
Make it possible to define format for time that is displayed.
The way the format is defined is equal to the way that is used
for strftime function, although not all formatting options as
used in strftime are available for LVM2 - the set is restricted
(e.g. we do not allow newline to be printed). The lvm.conf
comments contain the whole list that LVM2 accepts for time format
together with brief description (copied from strftime man page).
For example:
(defaults used - the format is the same as used before this patch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-25 16:18:34 +0200
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-29 09:17:11 +0200
(using 'time_format = "@%s"' in lvm.conf - number of seconds
since the Epoch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435241914
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435562231
Configure provides proper settings for
use_lvmetad and use_lvmpolld conf setttings.
When the build of polld & lvmetad, these settings
are enabled by default unless explicitelly disabled
with --disable-use-lvmetad/--disable-use-lvmpolld.
Reinstate config settings matching the last release until every
case where the generator produces different output has been reviewed
and fresh decisions made about which defaults to expose as protection
against changes in newer releases. We should be trying to reduce, not
increase, this number.
By default these are empty strings, so the config settings
should be flagged as undefined, so they will be commented
out of the generated config. Otherwise, the lines:
thin_repair_options=""
cache_repair_options=""
in the dump output cause a warning when processed since
lvm doesn't want an empty string.
Also regenerate lvm.conf.in.
The specific config settings have been removed
from the lvm.conf(5) man page, and replaced with
a description of how to use lvm dumpconfig to
view the settings.
The sample lvm.conf and lvmlocal.conf files are now generated:
example.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
example.conf.gen - generated portion from dumpconfig
example.conf.in - combination of .base and .gen files
example.conf - result of configure processing .in file
lvmlocal.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
lvmlocal.conf.gen - generated portion from dumpconfig
lvmlocal.conf.in - combination of .base and .gen files
lvmlocal.conf - result of configure processing .in file
Do not edit the .in files, but edit config_settings.h
or the .base files, and then use 'make generate' to create
the new .in files.
- configure
with options
- make
creates tools/lvm
- make generate
uses tools/lvm to create example.conf.in and lvmlocal.conf.in
by combining .base files with dumpconfig output.
- configure
with same options as above
creates example.conf and lvmlocal.conf from .in files
Just like MD filtering that detects components of software RAID (md),
add detection for firmware RAID.
We're not adding any native code to detect this - there are lots of
firmware RAIDs out there which is just out of LVM scope. However,
with current changes with which we're able to get device info from
external sources (e.g. external_device_info_source="udev"), we can
do this easily if the external device status source has this kind
of information - which is the case of "udev" source where the results
of blkid scans are stored.
This detection should cover all firmware RAIDs that blkid can detect and
which are identified as:
ID_FS_TYPE = {adaptec,ddf,hpt45x,hpt37x,isw,jmicron,lsi_mega,nvidia,promise_fasttrack,silicon_medley,via}_raid_member
Support error_if_no_space feature for thin pools.
Report more info about thinpool status:
(out_of_data (D), metadata_read_only (M), failed (F) also as health
attribute.)
Support compile type configurable defaults for creation
of sparse volumes.
By default now create 'thin-pools' for sparse volumes.
Use the global/sparse_segtype_default to switch back to old
snapshots if needed.
Apply the same compile logic for newly introduces mirror/raid1 options.
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
This avoids creating void matchers which have no effect anyway and
they just use resources. Also, it makes lvm dumpconfig --type diff
to mark these settings properly as not being different from defaults
(where by default, devices/preferred_names as well as devices/filter
are void).
Also, add a few comments about builtin rules used to select device
alias in case preferred_names is not defined or it doesn't match
any of device aliases.
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.
The thin-generic.profile contains settings for thin/thin pool volumes
suitable for generic environment/use containing default settings.
This allows users to change the global lvm.conf settings at will
and still keep the original settings for volumes that have this
thin profile assigned already.
The "default.profile" name was misleading. It's actually a helper
*template* that can be used for copying and further editing to create
a new profile.
Also, we have separate command and metadata profiles now so the templates
are separated as well - we can't mix profile settings from one group with
another - such profile is rejected by lvm tools.
By default, the thin_pool_chunk_size is automatically calculated.
When defined, it disables the automatic calculation. So to be more
precise here, we should comment it out for the default.profile.
Also, "lvm dumpconfig --type profilable" was used here to generate
the default.profile content. This will be done automatically in the
future once we have the infrastructure for this in (see also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073415).
The global/suffix was missing from example lvm.conf but it can
be very useful when using lvm in scripts and now in profiles as well
Let's expose it more.
man/lvm2-activation-generator.8:
Generator Specification -> Generators Specification
(this is the exact word in the systemd man page)
conf/example.conf.in:
cleanup recent edits related to report section
man/lvm.conf.5:
add a line about a possibility to generate a new
profile with lvm dumpconfig command as an alternative
to copying the default profile
Users can create several profiles for how the tools report
the output very easily and then just use
<lvm reporting command> --profile <report_profile_name>
