This is not only undocumented but is is also in violation with --help
documentation.
Using --yes without --force is useful in pvcreate when it detects
old signature.
pvcreate detects MD and swap signature.
The logic hidden there is not only documented but it is also
user unfriendly. Who invented this logic should run pvcreate
on its own critical MD device to see why;-)
This patch
- creates one function instead of duplication code
- asks if user want to overwrite signature
- allows aborting (!)
(Please note that writing LVM signatute without wiping old
is wrong, it confuses blkid, MD will not work anyway and
swap and LUKS is broken too.)
We can't rely on the fact that udev should prepare the node with right major
and minor number to trigger the module autoloading. We have to take into
account that the node could be missing or it could exist with improper
major and minor number assigned (e.g. from previous kernel versions in
an environment with static nodes and without udev). Make any corrections
if needed!
The lvm repair issues I believe are the superficial symptoms of this
bug - there are worse issues that are not as clearly seen. From my
inline comments:
* If the mirror was successfully recovered, we want to always
* force every machine to write to all devices - otherwise,
* corruption will occur. Here's how:
* Node1 suffers a failure and marks a region out-of-sync
* Node2 attempts a write, gets by is_remote_recovering,
* and queries the sync status of the region - finding
* it out-of-sync.
* Node2 thinks the write should be a nosync write, but it
* hasn't suffered the drive failure that Node1 has yet.
* It then issues a generic_make_request directly to
* the primary image only - which is exactly the device
* that has suffered the failure.
* Node2 suffers a lost write - which completely bypasses the
* mirror layer because it had gone through generic_m_r.
* The file system will likely explode at this point due to
* I/O errors. If it wasn't the primary that failed, it is
* easily possible in this case to issue writes to just one
* of the remaining images - also leaving the mirror inconsistent.
*
* We let in_sync() return 1 in a cluster regardless of what is
* in the bitmap once recovery has successfully completed on a
* mirror. This ensures the mirroring code will continue to
* attempt to write to all mirror images. The worst that can
* happen for reads is that additional read attempts may be
* taken.
Ignore snapshots when performing mirror recovery beneath an origin.
Pass LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY flag around cluster.
Add suspend_lv_origin and resume_lv_origin using LCK_ORIGIN_ONLY.
DM devices were not handled properly on nodes in a cluster that were not
where the splitmirrors command was issued. This was happening because
suspend_lv/resume_lv were being used in a place where activate_lv should
have been used.
When the suspend/resume are issued on (effectively) new LVs, their
'resource' (UUID) is not located in the lv_hash. Thus, both operations
turn into no-ops. You can see this from the output of clvmd from one
of the remote nodes:
<snip>
do_suspend_lv, lock not already held
<snip>
do_resume_lv, lock not already held
'activate_lv' enjoins the other nodes in the cluster to process the lock
and activate the new LV. clvmd output from remote node as follows:
do_lock_lv: resource 'zMseY7CBuO3Ty09vXlplPAHzD0Y0CovjrTdv0R1VcwggMwPdYhutHErRcwm5Nd2S', cmd = 0x19 LCK_LV_ACTIVATE (READ|LV|NONBLOCK), flags = 0x84 (DMEVENTD_MONITOR ), memlock = 1

This can happen with older rules (without support for synthesized events)
that are still part of initrd while using new udev rules in the system itself.
The consequence was that new udev rules incorrectly assumed that not having
DM_UDEV_PRIMARY_SOURCE_FLAG set always means the uevent is synthesized and
inappropriate (device is still not properly activated) and so it should be
ignored. However, initrd is not updated automatically while updating the
libdevmapper/udev rules in the system and so we end up with the rules not
detecting and setting crucial parts in the initrd environment and the rules
in the system that rely on the information that should have been stored in
udev db (which is incorrect in this configuration, of course).
The overall consequence is that the update of libdevmapper/lvm2 without
regenerating the initrd could end up with a boot failure! Ignoring the event
means removing any existing symlinks in /dev!
To fix this, increase udev rules version to make a difference. So from now on,
mark rules without proper support for synthesized events as
DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN="1" and 2 (or higher) if that support is included.
We still need to detect this one! We're not so strict with CHANGE events as
with the ADD events while applying filters in the rules so this one would
pass and it would process the rules prematurely (because it appears *before*
the actual CHANGE event used when resuming a DM device while setting read-only
state at the same time).
clvmd daemon itself does the right thing when invoked as non-root, by
returning 4.
The patch removes the use daemon function from
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions that´s unnecessary and has th bad habit to
mask the return codes from the real daemon.
Add a simple and generic check to see if clvmd is executed by root or not.
Our stop/reload/restart paths in the init script are complex and not all
the tools involved in the process are guaranteed to return 4 if executed
by non-root against a process that´s running as root (for example kill
-TERM will return -1 and parsing the output to catch the error is
suboptimal at best).

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.

We can already detect MD devices internally. But when using MD partitions,
these have "block extended major" (blkext) assigned (259). Blkext major
is also used in general, so we need to check whether the original device
is an MD device actually.
An incorrect fix on July 13, 2010 for an annoyance has caused a regression.
The offending check-in was part of the 2.02.71 release of LVM. That
check-in caused any PVs specified on the command line to be ignored when
performing a mirror split.
This patch reverses the aforementioned check-in (solving the regressions)
and posits a new solution to the list reversal problem. The original
problem was that we would always take the lowest mimage LVs from a mirror
when performing a split, but what we really want is to take the highest
mimage LVs. This patch accomplishes that by working through the list in
reverse order - choosing the higher numbered mimages first. (This also
reduces the amount of processing necessary.)

corruption bug in cmirror. 'dm_bit' is only ever used as a boolean operation
within LVM, but it can return a range of values. If the bit is set, a power of
2 is returned. If the bit is unset, 0 is returned.
'log_test_bit' (a function in the cluster mirror log daemon code) has switched
to using the dm bit operations in rhel6. There are two places in the daemon
code where 'log_test_bit' is not used merely as a boolean, but rather the
return value is used as the return value for the log functions 'is_clean' and
'in_sync' - having assumed that 'dm_bit' was returning 0 or 1 only.
One place the 'in_sync' function is utilized is in 'dm_rh_get_state' - a
function that informs the mirroring code how to treat I/O and which devices to
read/write from. 'dm_rh_get_state' was checking if the return value of
'in_sync' was 1 to determine if the region was DM_RH_CLEAN. Since 'dm_bit'
(and by extension 'log_test_bit' and 'in_sync') was returning powers of 2,
DM_RH_CLEAN was rarely being reported as it should have been. Thinking the
region was out-of-sync, the mirroring code would write only to the primary
device. When the primary device was failed, all of those writes were lost -
leaving the entire mirror corrupted.
udev_sync feature requires semaphores (part of System V IPC) to be configured
in kernel (CONFIG_SYSVIPC). Check whether it is supported and if not, give
a warning message and disable udev synchronisation code automatically to
avoid any further error states and associated problems.
One should use the kernel with System V IPC support enabled or libdevmapper
with udev_sync feature disabled.
