lvmetad is not yet supported in clustered environment so
disable it automatically if using lvmconf --enable-cluster
and reset it to default value if using lvmconf --disable-cluster.
Also, add a few comments in lvm.conf about locking_type vs. use_lvmetad
if setting it for clustered environment.
The lvm2-activation-net.service was ordered only with respect to iscsi
and fcoe service before. In addition to that, we also need ordering
with respect to lvm2-activation.service to prevent parallel vgchange -aay
runs which may cause some problems during activation.
See also https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480066.
With this patch, the ordering is firmly set to:
lvm2-activation-early.service -> lvm2-activation.service -> lvm2-activation-net.service
Thanks to Alexander Tsoy for the original patch (modified a bit here):
https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2013-September/msg00049.html
Remove default "/tmp" as destination directory if no args
specified for lvm2-activation-generator. Require all the
args to be specified directly for proper functionality.
Do not print success status for lvm2-activation-generator:
"LVM: Activation generator successfully completed."
"LVM: Logical Volume autoactivation enabled." (if use_lvmetad=1)
Though this information is quite useful during boot, it may
be confusing for users if it happens anytime later and it
actually happens if systemd reloads. This is usually on package
update to update the systemd state and load any new units that are
newly installed in the system. The systemd reload is global and
so any existing generators are rerun at that moment too.
Recent version of util-linux/umount (v2.23+) provides
umount --all-targets that can unmount all the mount targets of
the same device (the bind mounts). Use this if available when
calling the umount blkdeactivate.
Otherwise, for older versions of util-linux, use findmnt
(that is also a part of the util-linux) to iterate over all
mount targets of the same device - this is the manual way.
The blkdeactivate now suppresses error messages from external
tools that are called. Instead, only a summary message "done"
or "skipped" is issued by blkdeactivate as any error in calling
the external tool (e.g. unmounting or deactivating a device) causes
the device to be skipped and the blkdeactivate continues with the
next device in the tree.
Add new -e/--errors switch to display any error messages from
external tools.
Also, suppress any output given by the external tools and add
new -v/--verbose switch to display it including the verbose
output of the tools called (this will enable error reporting
as well).
Also add blkdeactivate -vv for even more debug (the script's debug).
In case lvmetad is not used, we need to wait for udev to complete
after net-attached storage is initialized (after iscsi/fcoe service).
N.B. This also requires the storage to be attached synchronously
in the kernel itself.
The new lvm2-activation-net.service activates LVM volumes
after network-attached devices are set up (iSCSI and FCoE)
if lvmetad is disabled and hence the autoactivation is not
used.
When the init scripts are run from within systemd, the systemd
needs to know the pidfile for it to work correctly when the
daemon itself is killed. Otherwise, systemd keeps these services
in "active" and "exited state" at the same time
(it assumes RemainAfterExit=yes without the pidfile reference in
chkconfig header).
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=971819#c5.
The global filter in system's lvm.conf may conflict with the custom filter we
set up in vgimportclone (they can easily fail to intersect). Since we explicitly
avoid talking to lvmetad in vgimportclone, it is safe and reasonable to do so.
'lvchange' is used to alter a RAID 1 logical volume's write-mostly and
write-behind characteristics. The '--writemostly' parameter takes a
PV as an argument with an optional trailing character to specify whether
to set ('y'), unset ('n'), or toggle ('t') the value. If no trailing
character is given, it will set the flag.
Synopsis:
lvchange [--writemostly <PV>:{t|y|n}] [--writebehind <count>] vg/lv
Example:
lvchange --writemostly /dev/sdb1:y --writebehind 512 vg/raid1_lv
The last character in the 'lv_attr' field is used to show whether a device
has the WriteMostly flag set. It is signified with a 'w'. If the device
has failed, the 'p'artial flag has priority.
Example ("nosync" raid1 with mismatch_cnt and writemostly):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg Rwi---r-m 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-w 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
Example (raid1 with mismatch_cnt, writemostly - but failed drive):
[~]# lvs -a --segment vg
LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize
raid1 vg rwi---r-p 2 raid1 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_0] vg Iwi---r-- 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rimage_1] vg Iwi---r-p 1 linear 500.00m
[raid1_rmeta_0] vg ewi---r-- 1 linear 4.00m
[raid1_rmeta_1] vg ewi---r-p 1 linear 4.00m
A new reportable field has been added for writebehind as well. If
write-behind has not been set or the LV is not RAID1, the field will
be blank.
Example (writebehind is set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r-- 512
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
Example (writebehind is not set):
[~]# lvs -a -o name,attr,writebehind vg
LV Attr WBehind
lv rwi-a-r--
[lv_rimage_0] iwi-aor-w
[lv_rimage_1] iwi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_0] ewi-aor--
[lv_rmeta_1] ewi-aor--
On glibc, those are erroneously (namespace pollution) pulled in via

If there was a nested mountpoint inside an existing mount path,
blkdeactivate could fail to unmount such a mountpoint as it
needs to deactivate the deepest path first and continue upwards.
For example the simplest reproducer:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 4G 0 disk
|-vg-lvol0 (dm-2) 253:2 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/a
`-vg-lvol1 (dm-3) 253:3 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/a/b
Before this patch:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/a
umount: /mnt/a: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol1 (dm-3) mounted on /mnt/a/b
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol1
(deactivation of vg/lvol0 is skipped as /mnt/a that is on lvol0
can't be unmounted - it still has /mnt/a/b as nested mountpoint!)
With this patch applied:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol1 (dm-3) mounted on /mnt/a/b
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/a
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol0
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol1
===
Also, this patch contains a fix for processing mangled mount paths:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 4G 0 disk
`-vg-lvol0 (dm-2) 253:2 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/x y z
[root@rhel6-a ~]# lsblk -r
vg-lvol0 253:2 0 32M 0 lvm /mnt/x\x20y\x20z
(the mount path is mangled with \xNN that is visible in raw
lsblk output only and which is used in blkdeactive as well)
Before this patch:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
umount: /mnt/x\x20y\x20z: not found
After this patch applied:
[root@rhel6-a ~]# blkdeactivate -u
Deactivating block devices:
UMOUNT: unmounting vg-lvol0 (dm-2) mounted on /mnt/x\x20y\x20z
LVM: deactivating Logical Volume vg/lvol0
For reseting locale environment into significantly less memory
consuming version 'C' - use LC_ALL instead of LANG since it has
higher priority in locale settings.
Otherwise we may observe whole locale-archive which might be

Fix previous commit 360c569ce8.

Don't use lvmetad in lvm2-monitor.service ExecStop to avoid a systemd issue.
- a systemd design issue while processing dependencies
with socket-based activation that ends up with a hang
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843587
(also tracker bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871527)
- not using lvmetad in this case is just a workaround, once the bug
above is resolved, we should enable the lvmetad in that specific case
Remove dependency on fedora-storage-init.service in lvm2 systemd units.
- fedora-storage-init.service and fedora-storage-init-late.service is
going to be separated into respective units that belong to each block
device subsystem:
- mpath + mdraid activated via udev solely
- dmraid with its own dmraid-activation.service unit
- lvm2 with the lvm2-activation-generator to generate the
activation units runtime if lvmetad disabled
(global/use_lvmetad=0 set in lvm.conf) and activation done
via udev+lvmetad if lvmetad enabled (global/use_lvmetad=1 set
in lvm.conf)
Depend on lvm2-lvmetad.socket in lvm2-monitor.service systemd unit.
- as lvm2-monitor uses lvmetad if lvmetad is enabled
blkdeactivate - utility to deactivate block devices
Traverses the tree of block devices and tries to deactivate them.
Currently, it supports device-mapper-based devices together with LVM.
See man/blkdeactivate.8 for more info.
It is targeted for use during shutdown to properly deactivate the
whole block device stack - systemd and init scripts are provided as
well. However, it might be used directly on command line too.
Please, see the commentary at the top of the blkdeactivate script
for dependencies and versions of other utilities required.
lvm2-activation-early.service (generated by activation generator) should
be ordered before cryptsetup.target.
lvm2-monitor.service should be ordered after lvm2-activation.service,
if used. The lvm2-activation.service will replace fedora-storage-init.service
and fedora-storage-init-late.service in the end, but let's have it
prepared now.
The ExecStartPost with pvscan --cache in lvm2-lvmetad.service
is not needed now as this is called transparently within the
first LVM command that queries lvmetad.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" that the "lvm2-activation.service"
had as a dependency (which was fedora-specific solution anyway)
is obsolete now as this unit called "modprobe scsi_wait_scan"
which is not used anymore.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" had "systemd-udev-settle" as
its dependency, so let's depend on this one directly now,
bypassing the out-dated "fedora-wait-storage.service".
The lvm2 activation generator generates systemd units conditionally
based on the global/use_lvmetad lvm.conf setting.
If use_lvmetad=0, the lvm2-activation-early.service and lvm2-activation.service
units will be generated. These units are responsible for direct volume activation
by calling "vgchange -aay --sysinit" (this is actually the original on-boot
activation as it was used before). If use_lvmetad=1, no units will be generated
as we're relying on autoactivation.
Important thing to note is that the lvm2-activation units normally bring
in the udev-settle ("storage-wait") service that waits for udev to settle
(with block devices). We don't need this if lvmetad is used in conjunction
with autoactivation feature... but systemd units can't be enabled or disabled
(or dependencies added/removed) dynamically based on external configuration.
Therefore, we need the unit generator which adds support for such situations:
the units as a whole either exist or not based on the external configuration.
Monitoring is handled using "vgchange --monitor" call. Ensure that lvmetad is up
and running at the time of this call to prevent any fallback to direct scan
within the vgchange. The same applies for shutdown sequence but the other way
round - switch monitoring off and lvmetad afterwards.
The clmvd init script called "vgchange -aly" before to activate
all VGs in cluster environment. This activated all VGs, no matter
if it was clustered or not.
Auto activation for clustered VGs is not supported yet so the behaviour
of -aay is still the same as before for clustered VGs. However, for
non-clustered VGs, we need to check with the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
whether the VG/LV should be activated on boot or not.
There were several hard-coded values for run directory around the code.
Also, some tools are DM specific only, others are LVM specific and there
was no distinction made here before. With this patch applied, we have
this cleaned up a bit (subsystem in brackets, defaults in parentheses):
[common] configurable PID_DIR (/var/run)
lvm [lvm] configurable RUN_DIR (/var/run/lvm)
configurable locking dir (/var/lock/lvm)
clvmd [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/clvmd.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/clvmd.sock)
lvmetad [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/lvmetad.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/lvmetad.socket)
dm [dm] configurable DM_RUN_DIR (/var/run)
cmirrord [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/cmirrord.pid)
dmeventd [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/dmeventd.pid)
server fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-server)
client fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-client)
The changes briefly:
- added configure --with-default-pid-dir
- added configure --with-default-dm-run-dir
- added configure --with-lvmetad-pidfile
- by default, using one common pid directory for everything
(only lvmetad was not following this before)
Fix propagation of -e option - pass it via internal shell variable.
Fix parsing of /proc/mounts files (don't check for substrings).
as reported by O.Mangold with suggested patch:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2012-February/msg00030.html
Properly pass arguments with spaces ("$@")
Add validation for YES and EXTOFF variable content.
LISTEN_PID and LISTEN_FDS environment variables are defined only during systemd
"start" action. But we still need to know whether we're activated during
"reload" action as well - we use the reload action to call "dmeventd -R"/"lvmetad -R"
for statefull daemon restart. We can't use normal "restart" as that is simply
composed of "stop" and "start" and we would lose any state the daemon has.
/etc/tmpfiles.d directory holds configuration files for temporary/volatile
files and directories that should be automatically managed. For example,
if we have some parts of the fs hierarchy on tmpfs, we'd like to recreate
some files or directories on every boot so they're always prepared for use.
Systemd can read such configuration files. For now, the lock and run directory
are the ones that are most probably placed on tmpfs. If this is the case, we
can install the configuration by 'make install_tmpfiles_configuration'.
Normally, restart simply means "stop and start" for systemd. However, if
we're installing new versions of the dmeventd binary/libdevmapper, we need
to restart dmeventd. This fails if we have some devices monitored - we need
to call "dmeventd -R" instead.
The "ExecReload" did not work quite well in some old versions of systemd,
systemd assumed that only the configuration is reloaded on "ExecReload",
not the whole binary itself so it lost track of dmeventd daemon (it lost new
dmeventd PID). This is fixed and seems to be working fine now with recent
versions of dmeventd.
When fsadm is test - it needs to execute lvm and fsadm from non-standard path
setting. So adding a support in fsadm script when user set LVM_BINARY, then
the lvm command invoced from fsadm will have the same PATH setting as before
entering fsadm command.
Needed for testing.
In case someone would use filename paths with spaces when changing
this script surround commands with '"'.
With default settings there is no change in behavior.
Some major distributions are still using 'mawk' and they are not using
the latest version - we end here with hidden dependency on the latest
version of mawk (1.3.4) while i.e. Debian Lenny seems to stay with 1.3.3.
So we end with completely broken vgimportclone script on such system.
We would need to check for proper support of :space: and abort build if
it doesn't work or simplier replace [:space:] with [ \t] which seems
sufficient to make it work (as can be seen in this patch)
A better fix would be to use command line parameter override - leaving
as FIXME comment.
This patch makes t-vgimportclone.sh test passing on Lenny.
Copy this file as '.gdbinit' to your home directory or your working
directory. It adds the following commands to gdb:
- first_seg
- lv_status
- lv_status_r
- lv_is_mirrored
- seg_item
- seg_status
- segs_using_this_lv
You can get a list of these user-defined commands by typing:
(gdb) help user-defined
You can get more information on each command by typing:
(gdb) help <command>
It would be most useful to add "dmsetup ls --tree" to the commands run.
This command helps in answering the question "which devices are actually
underneath a given LV?"
Although the info is available with other existing dmsetup commands,
adding this command gives a much clearer summary of complex setups.
Here's an example of an LVM mirror, with mirror images on partitions
created on top of multipath devices. The multipath devices are on
simple block devices. As you can see, it is easy to see the stacking
from the "dmsetup ls --tree" output:
vgmpathtest-lvmpathmir (253:14)

But it is much harder to see the stacking with only the commands today
("dmsetup info", "dmsetup status", and "dmsetup table"). We could
piece together the stacking from "dmsetup table" but it requires
further processing (take output from "dmsetup info to get
map name to major/minor, then parse "dmsetup table", etc).
Fix for the last commit as $MOUNTED is not only used as bool flag,
but also store mounted location for remount - so parsing output
from mount differently then from /proc/mounts.
Prefix calls of 'tunefs' tools with LANG=C to be sure we always do get
some nonlocalized strings.
Avoid using forced 'resize2fs' for cleanly unmounted filesystems and
run regular fsck -f for this case as required by resize2fs.
'fsadm check' uses date difference for extX filesystems between
the last mount and last check of 'fsck -f' execution and if the mount
was later run 'fsck' with -f so resize2fs is happy and user does not
need to pass '-f' flag.
As util-linux package seems to give all the time different names,

Return status code 3 for fsadm check of mounted filesystem - used later with
lvresize update patch to better support online filesystem resize.
Also makes a more consistent user interruption and returns status code 2
in this case.
Try to distinguish between the case of using interactive shell and non
interactive running - different combinations of '-y' and '-p' option
needs to be used for fsck.
Update the way how fsadm detects mounted filesystem.
With udev /dev/dm-XXX paths are now returned - but mount or /proc/mounts
prints names in form of /dev/mapper/vg-lv - so the match was not found.
Fixex RHBZ #638050.
Current solution uses same trick as mount and detects vg-lv name through
/sys where available - this should be reasonable safe.
Instead of calling mount without parameter to get actual mount table,
switch to use /proc/mounts directly.
Fix missing 'dry' execution of lvresize - fixing problem where resize
command were 'dry-run' executed - but lvresize has been executed for real.
Also adapt code slightly to support better recursive execution of fsadm
through lvresize call.
Under certain conditions it was possible to break (^C) fsadm before actually
resizing filesystem, but lvresize which executed fsadm will think resize
was succesful and shrinks partitions with unresized filesystem on it.
Fix by returning error (1) for this case - this stops lvresize from futher
proceding in resize operation.

Add special case for qdiskd that´s started after cman/lock_gulmd for

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

have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor

- preserve TMP_LVM_SYSTEM_DIR if it contains an lvm.conf and -d was
specified
- fix handling of special-case where PV is listed as "unknown device"
- more descriptive error when a PV is missing ("unknown device")
- unset LVM_SYSTEM_DIR if it was not originally set
- skip final vgscan if no changes were made
