pvck --dump headers reads the metadata text area
to compute the text metadata checksum to compare
with the mda_header checksum.
The new header_only will skip reading the metadata
text and not validate the mda_header checksum.
To write a new/repaired pv_header and label_header:
pvck --repairtype pv_header --file <file> <device>
This uses the metadata input file to find the PV UUID,
device size, and data offset.
To write new/repaired metadata text and mda_header:
pvck --repairtype metadata --file <file> <device>
This requires a good pv_header which points to one or two
metadata areas. Any metadata areas referenced by the
pv_header are updated with the specified metadata and
a new mda_header. "--settings mda_num=1|2" can be used
to select one mda to repair.
To combine all header and metadata repairs:
pvck --repair --file <file> <device>
It's best to use a raw metadata file as input, that was
extracted from another PV in the same VG (or from another
metadata area on the same PV.) pvck will also accept a
metadata backup file, but that will produce metadata that
is not identical to other metadata copies on other PVs
and other areas. So, when using a backup file, consider
using it to update metadata on all PVs/areas.
To get a raw metadata file to use for the repair, see
pvck --dump metadata|metadata_search.
List all instances of metadata from the metadata area:
pvck --dump metadata_search <device>
Save one instance of metadata at the given offset to
the specified file (this file can be used for repair):
pvck --dump metadata_search --file <file>
--settings "metadata_offset=<off>" <device>
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.
The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.
The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.
As was recently done with relative signes for sizes/extents,
limit the signs used with the mirrors option, e.g.
lvcreate --mirrors now does not accept or advertise an
optional minus sign with the value. lvconvert --mirrors
accepts +|-.
OO_LVCREATE_CACHE accepts --cachemetadataformat.
Support new option --cachemetadataformat auto|1|2 for caching.
Word 'auto' can be also be given as '0'.
Add new values for different sign variations, resulting in:
size_VAL no sign accepted
ssize_VAL accepts + or -
psize_VAL accepts +
nsize_VAL accpets -
extents_VAL no sign accepted
sextents_VAL accepts + or -
pextents_VAL accepts +
nextents_VAL accepts -
Depending on the command being run, change the option
values for --size, --extents, --poolmetadatasize to
use the appropriate value from above.
lvcreate uses no sign (but accepts + and ignores it).
lvresize accepts +|- for a relative change.
lvextend accepts + for a relative change.
lvreduce accepts - for a relative change.
command.c and lvmcmdline.c each had a full array defining
all options and values. This duplication was not removed
when the command.c code was merged into the run time.
Clean up and correct the details around --extents and --size.
lvcreate/lvresize/lvreduce/lvextend all now display the
extents option in usages.
The Size and Number value variables for --size and --extents
are now displayed without the [+|-] prefix for lvcreate.
There was confusion in the code about whether or not the
--size option accepted a sign. Make it consistent and clear
that it does.
This exposes a new problem in that an option can only
accept one value type, e.g. --size can only accept a
signed number, it cannot accept a positive or negative
number for some commands and reject negative numbers for
others.
In practice, lvcreate accepts only positive --size
values and lvresize accepts positive or negative --size
values. There is currently no way to encode this
difference. Until that is fixed, the man page output
is hacked to avoid printing the [+|-] prefix for sizes
in lvcreate.
(Change to recent commit 3f4ecaf8c2.)
Use --foo Number[k|UNIT] to indicate that
the default units of the number is k, but other
units listed below are also accepted.
Previously, underlined/italic Unit was used,
like other of variables, but this UNIT is more
like a shortcut than an actual variable.
We use --foo Number[k|Units] to indicate that
the default units of the number is k, but other
units listed below are also accepted.
Capitalize and underline Units so it is consistent
with other variables, and reference it at the end.
Technically, the k should be bold, but this
tends to make the text visually hard to read
because of the excessive highlights scattered
everywhere. So it's left normal text for now
(it's unlikely to confuse anyone.)
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.
The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command. A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args. Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition. Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.
Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:
lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.
lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX
lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.
The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters. Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition. Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.
This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h. usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.
Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one. An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition. The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.
The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.
command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
[ <optional_opt_args> ]
[ <optional_pos_args> ]
Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX. These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.
Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.
Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found. lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition. This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.
Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it. The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.) These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.
Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do. This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis. When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.
