506d88a2ec lvconvert: disable lvmetad for repair
Repairing missing devices does not work reliably
with lvmetad, so disable lvmetad before repair.
A standard lvmetad refresh (pvscan --cache) will
enable lvmetad again.

38292ca1d0 commands: fix command matching for unused options
When a given command:

- matches command definition A based on required options,
  but uses optional options that are not accepted by A.

- matches command definition B based on required options,
  (but fewer required items than A), and uses no
  unaccepted optional options.

then B is the correct choice.  Command A would fail because
of the unaccepted optional options.  The logic was mistakenly
letting A win because it had a greater number of required option
matches, without accounting for the optional option mismatches.

49cd54fc3a commands: fix lvcreate mirrors/stripes options
Systematically outline every combination of:
--type striped, --type mirror, --type raid, --mirrors, --stripes
and make sure each is assigned to one specific cmd def.

This revealed that a new command def is needed for
lvcreate that uses both --mirrors and --stripes
but no --type option.

The use of LVCREATE_RAID shortcut for an option set
resulted in mirrors/stripes being included in optional
opts set when they were already in the required list.

c8671f6f79 commands: use correct relative signs with mirror option

lvcreate --mirrors now does not accept or advertise an
optional minus sign with the value.  lvconvert --mirrors
accepts +|-.

15682270f4 commands: fix lvconvert options for mirrors/stripes
The LVCONVERT_RAID shortcut for including options ended
up including mirrors/stripes as optional opts in defs where
they were already required, or in defs where they would
not be used.  Remove the option set and specify in each
case only the options wanted.

4d0793f0ec pool: rework handling of passed args
As now we can properly recognize all paramerters for pool creation,
we may drop PASS_ARG_  defines and rely on '_UNSELECTED' or 0 entries
as being those without user given args.

When setting are not given on command line - 'update' function
fill them from profiles or configuration. For this  'profile' arg
was needed to be passed around and since  'VG' itself is not needed,
it's been all replaced with 'cmd, profile, extents_size' args.

baa8a9be4a dmstats: start dmfilemapd when creating or updating file maps
Launch an instance of the filemap monitoring daemon when creating,
or updating, a file mapped group, unless the --nomonitor switch is
given.

Unless --foreground is given the daemon will detach from the
terminal and run in the background until it is signaled or the
daemon termination conditions are met.

The --follow={inode|path} switch is added to control the daemon
behaviour when files are moved, unlinked, or renamed while they
are being monitored.

The daemon runs with the same verbosity as the dmstats command
that starts it.

d250aa7208 lvconvert: prompt when splitting off a tracked LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV
Splitting off an image LV of a 2-legged raid1 LV tracking changes
causes loosing partial resilience for any newly written data set.
Full resilience will be provided again after the split off image LV
got merged back in and the new data set got fully synchronized.
Reason being that the data is only stored on the remaining single
writable image during the split.

Ask user to avoid uninformed loss of such partial resilience.

Don't ask for N > 2 legged raid1 LVs.

a6a2788e7c commands: clean up and unify signed option value handling
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.

b6c4b7cfb0 man/help: poolmetadatasize option can take relative value
In lvcreate/lvconvert, --poolmetdatasize can only be an
absolute value, but in lvresize/lvextend, --poolmetadatasize
can be given a + relative value.

The val types only currently support relative values that
go in both directions +|-.  Further work is needed to add
val types that can be relative in only one direction, and
switching various option values to one those depending on
the command name.  Then poolmetdatasize will not appear
with a +|- option in lvcreate/lvconvert, and will
appear with only the + option in lvresize/lvextend.

b7831fc14a lvcreate/lvresize: the --size option accepts signed values
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.

34caf83172 lvconvert: add infrastructure for RaidLV reshaping support
In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces the changes to call the reshaping infratructure
from lv_raid_convert().

Changes:
- add reshaping calls from lv_raid_convert()
- add command definitons for reshaping to tools/command-lines.in
- fix raid_rimage_extents()
- add 2 new test scripts lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_striped.sh
  and lvconvert-raid-reshape-striped_to_linear.sh to test
  the linear <-> striped multi-step conversions
- add lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh reshaping tests
- enhance lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh with new raid10 tests

e2354ea344 lvconvert: add infrastructure for RaidLV reshaping support
In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces infrastructure prerequisites to be used
by raid_manip.c extensions in followup patches.

This base is needed for allocation of out-of-place
reshape space required by the MD raid personalities to
avoid writing over data in-place when reading off the
current RAID layout or number of legs and writing out
the new layout or to a different number of legs
(i.e. restripe)

Changes:
- add members reshape_len to 'struct lv_segment' to store
  out-of-place reshape length per component rimage
- add member data_copies to struct lv_segment
  to support more than 2 raid10 data copies
- make alloc_lv_segment() aware of both reshape_len and data_copies
- adjust all alloc_lv_segment() callers to the new API
- add functions to retrieve the current data offset (needed for
  out-of-place reshaping space allocation) and the devices count
  from the kernel
- make libdm deptree code aware of reshape_len
- add LV flags for disk add/remove reshaping
- support import/export of the new 'struct lv_segment' members
- enhance lv_extend/_lv_reduce to cope with reshape_len
- add seg_is_*/segtype_is_* macros related to reshaping
- add target version check for reshaping
- grow rebuilds/writemostly bitmaps to 246 bit to support kernel maximal
- enhance libdm deptree code to support data_offset (out-of-place reshaping)
  and delta_disk (legs add/remove reshaping) target arguments

3fd3c9430d man/help: change syntax to UNIT
(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.

8ab0725077 lvchange: reject writemostly/writebehind on raid1 during resync
The MD kernel raid1 personality does no use any writemostly leg as the primary.

In case a previous linear LV holding data gets upconverted to
raid1 it becomes the primary leg of the new raid1 LV and a full
resynchronization is started to update the new legs.

No writemostly and/or writebehind setting may be allowed during
this initial, full synchronization period of this new raid1 LV
(using the lvchange(8) command), because that would change the
primary (i.e the previous linear LV) thus causing data loss.

lvchange has a bug not preventing this scenario.

Fix rejects setting writemostly and/or writebehind on resychronizing raid1 LVs.

Once we have status in the lvm2 metadata about the linear -> raid upconversion,
we may relax this constraint for other types of resynchronization
(e.g. for user requested "lvchange --resync ").

New lvchange-raid1-writemostly.sh test is added to the test suite.

3f4ecaf8c2 man/help: improve the style of units indicator
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.)

c1ce371b59 man/help: use separate common option lists
There are two kinds of common options:
1. options common to all variants of a given command name
2. options common to all lvm commands

Previously, both kinds of common options were listed together
under "Common options".  Now the first are printed under
"Common options for command" (when needed), and the second
are printed under "Common options for lvm" (always).
