Create a new table output format that concisely shows multiple devices
on one line.
dmsetup table --concise [device...]
<dev_name>,<uuid>,<flags>[,<table>]*[;<dev_name>,<uuid>,<flags>[,<table>]*]*
Table lines are separated by commas.
Devices are separated by semi-colons.
Flags is currently 'ro' or 'rw' (and might be extended in a
yet-to-be-defined way in future).
Any comma, semi-colon or backslash within a field is quoted by a
preceding backslash.
The format can later be supplied as input to dmsetup or even to the
booting kernel as an alternative way to set up devices.
Based on patches submitted by
Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com>.
Add an independent command definition for "vgchange --locktype",
and split the implementation out of the set of common metadata
changes. It is unlike normal metadata changes, and can only
be run by itself. (Changing the lock type is similar in
principle to changing the VG name or the VG system ID; it
effects the ability of any host to see or access the VG.)
At some point this command lost the ability to forcibly change
the lock type of a shared VG to "none" (making it a local VG).
This can be necessary to repair shared VGs (e.g. recovery steps
that occur in vg_read are disabled for shared VGs because
they are not locked properly, or recovering sanlock locks
when the PV holding them is lost.)
"vgchange --locktype none --lockopt force VG" is used as the
method of forcing the shared VG to become local so that it
can be repaired.
Many will look in 'man lvm.conf' expecting to find a
description of the lvm.conf fields, which are not there.
State at the beginning how to get this (by running
lvmconfig.)
The lvm(8) man page never said what LVM is,
it never defined what the acronym LVM stands for,
it never spelled out other common acronyms VG, PV, LV,
and never described what they are.
This adds a very minimal definition which at least defines
the acronyms and entities, but it could obviously be
expanded on, either here or elsewhere.

narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens
in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding
them in creating help texts. This lead to a sequence
of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional
patches in aforementioned commit series.
On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator
created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens
in need of escaping.
Changes:
- revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator
streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating
help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in
- Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1)
in the respective Makefile targets
- remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any
static manual sources or headers
For each section 8 man page, a .8_gen file is created from one of:
.8_main - Old-style man page - content used directly
.8_des and .8_end - Description and end section of a generated page
.8_pregen - Pre-generated page used if the generator fails
Other man sections are not generated and use the suffix .5_main or .7_main.
Developers should use 'make generate' to regenerate the .8_pregen files.
Require that the path argument to dmfilemapd be an absolute path
and document this in tool output, libdevmapper.h and dmfilemapd.8.
The check is also enforced by dm_stats_start_filemapd() to avoid
forking a new process with an invalid path argument.

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.
For this syntax:
lvconvert --thinpool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
lvconvert --cachepool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
Restore the metadata swapping behavior in addition to
the pool creation behavior. When LV1 is already a pool,
the metadata LV will be swapped with LV2.
When LV1 is not a pool, it will be converted to a
pool using the specified LV for metadata.
This syntax is no longer advertised because of the
ambiguous behavior. The primary syntaxes for pool
creation and metadata swapping will be the advertised
methods.
Kernel 4.10 (dm-crypt v1.15.0) and later supports loading device
tables with crypt segment having key in kernel keyring retention
service.
dmsetup hid key section of tables output. With this patch dmsetup
no longer hides key section if it detects kernel key description
instead of hex byte representation of key itself.
Unconditionally guard there is at least 1/4 of metadata volume
free (<16Mib) or 4MiB - whichever value is smaller.
In case there is not enough free space do not let operation proceed and
recommend thin-pool metadata resize (in case user has not
enabled autoresize, manual 'lvextend --poolmetadatasize' is needed).
Enforce mirror/raid0/1/10/4/5/6 type specific maximum images when
creating LVs or converting them from mirror <-> raid1.
Document those maxima in the lvcreate/lvconvert man pages.

Currently, the output is separated in 3 parts and each part can go into
a separate and user-defined file descriptor:
- common output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_OUT_FD environment variable)
- error output (stderr by default, customizable by LVM_ERR_FD environment variable)
- report output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_REPORT_FD environment variable)
For example, each type of output goes to different output file:
[0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3
[0] fedora/~ # lvs fedora vg/abc 1>out 2>err 3>report
[0] fedora/~ # cat out
[0] fedora/~ # cat err
Volume group "vg" not found
Cannot process volume group vg
[0] fedora/~ # cat report

swap fedora -wi-ao---- 500.00m linear public Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21
Another example in LVM shell where the report goes to "report" file:
[0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3
[0] fedora/~ # lvm 3>report
(in lvm shell)
lvm> vgs

Although the use of the first region_id in a group to store the
DMS_GROUP=... aux_data tag is an internal implementation detail,
it has a user visible consequence in that deleting this region will
cause the group to disappear: add an explanation of this to the
'group' command and 'Regions, areas, and groups' section.
The MD raid6 personality being used to drive lvm raid6 LVs does
read-modify-write updates to any stripes and thus relies on correct
P and Q Syndromes being written during initial synchronization or
it may fail reconstructing proper user data in case of SubLVs failing.
We may not allow the '--nosync' option on
creation of raid6 LVs for that reason.
Update/fix 'man lvcreate' in that regard.
add lvcreate-raid-nosync.sh test script.
- Resolves rhbz1358532
'lvchange --resync LV' or 'lvchange --syncaction repair LV' request the
RAID layout specific parity blocks in raid4/5/6 to be recreated or the
mirrored blocks to be copied again from the master leg/copy for raid1/10,
thus not allowing a rebuild of a particular PV.
Introduce repeatable option '--[raid]rebuild PV' to allow to request
rebuilds of specific PVs in a RaidLV which are known to contain corrupt
data (e.g. rebuild a raid1 master leg).
Add test lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh to test/shell doing rebuild
variations on raid1/10 and 5; add aux function check_status_chars
to support the new test.
- Resolves rhbz1064592
with respect to the changed, configurable default behaviour
introduced with commit 7eb7909193.
E.g. raid default of 2 stripes rather than number of PVs in the VG
or on the command line minus one.
The syntax for converting an LV to a thin LV
included an unnecessary --thin option. I was
probably still confused about these options
when writing this.
Synopsis are very useful for quick orientation and also
we provide then for all remaining command.
Also list ALL supported options in a single ordered list,
user should not seek for them.
blkdeactivate -m disablequeueing causes "multipathd disablequeueing maps"
call inside blkdeactivate script before deactivating devices. This
avoids a situation where blkdeactivate may wait for paths to appear if
multipath is set to queueing and there's a stack of other devices and/or
mount points on top of such multipath device.
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344381.
When logging to epoch files we would like to prevent creating too large
log files otherwise a spining command could fulfill available space
very easily and quickly.
Limit for to 100000 per command.
Make it clear that the "aux data" presented in reports is the user
data stored in the field (and does not include any library-internal
state such as group descriptors) by renaming the field to user_data
and changing the heading to "UserData".
Add support for active cache LV.
Handle --cachemode args validation during command line processing.
Rework some lvm2 internal to use lvm2 defined CACHE_MODE enums
indepently on libdm defines and use enum around the code instead
of passing and comparing strings.
When there are duplicate devices for a PV, one device
is preferred and chosen to exist in the VG. The other
devices are not used by lvm, but are displayed by pvs
with a new PV attr "d", indicating that they are
unchosen duplicate PVs.
The "duplicate" reporting field is set to "duplicate"
when the PV is an unchosen duplicate, and that field
is blank for the chosen PV.
Support parsing --chunksize option also when converting.
Now user can use cache pool created with i.e. 32K chunksize,
while in caching user can select 512K blocks.
Tool is supposed to validate cache metadata size is big enough
to support such chunk size. Otherwise error is shown.
Continuing with lvconvert style updates.
Minimize usage of '\:' as zero-width break space, since html renderers
do not handle this groff sign well (some of them seems to even render
':' there).
But since we do not want see badly rendered man pages itself, prefer
the 'man visual' appearence over html page generation (man2html should
be actually fixed).
Start to use 'user input option' with Capitals more consistently.
This command option can be used to trigger a D-Bus
notification independent of the usual notifications
that are sent from other commands as an effect of
changes to PV/VG/LV state. If lvm is not built with
dbus notification support or if notify_dbus is disabled
in the config, this command will exit with an error.
Showing 'u' in the pv_attr reporting field is mostly unnecessary because
most PVs are allocatable, and being allocatable implies it is (u)sed,
and this is already obvious from other fields in the default 'pvs'
output like the VG name.
So move the new (u)sed pv_attr from character position 4 to 1, and only
show it in those rare cases when the PV is not (a)llocatable or the
relevant metadata is missing.
(Scripts should not be using pv_attr, but rather pv_allocatable,
pv_exported, pv_missing, pv_in_use etc.)
W: manual-page-warning /usr/share/man/man8/lvm.8.gz 491: warning: macro `_cdata',' not defined
rpmlint actually notices we had few hidden word in man page.
the line cannot start with apostrophe as it has then a different
meaning.
Just for convenience to display all new configuration settings
introduced since given version (before, there was only --atversion
to display settings introduced in concrete version).
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type new --sinceversion 2.2.120
allocation {
# cache_mode="writethrough"
# cache_settings {
# }
}
global {
use_lvmlockd=0
# lvmlockd_lock_retries=3
# sanlock_lv_extend=256
use_lvmpolld=1
}
activation {
}
# report {
# compact_output_cols=""
# time_format="%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
# }
local {
# host_id=0
}
Correct some things, e.g. set mode and policy on
the cache lv, not the pool, lvm.conf field for
mode changed.
Add smq which was missing.
Make the sections on cache mode and cache policy
consistent in structure and style.
We want most of our units to be started before any local/remote mount
points are mounted - we used {local,remote}-fs.target for this purpose
before, but it was not 100% correct as there's even {local,remote}-fs-pre.target
special systemd unit reserved for this exact purpose.
See also man 7 systemd.special and "local-fs-pre.target"/"remote-fs-pre.target"
description.
Replace the histogram stats subcommand with a --histogram switch
to enable histogram related fields for both list and report output.
To avoid overloading the existing --histogram rename it to --bounds:
this is also a better description of the option.
Make sure that correct 'dmstats create' messages are shown for all
examples and fix LV examples to use correct dmsetup output name
format (vg/lv -> vg-lv).
Improve the names and labels of stats reports columns, ensure that
the minimum field widths allow unambiguos labels to be shown and
update the man page descriptions of these fields.
Add support to dmstats to create and report histograms.
Add a --histogram switch to 'create' that accepts a string
description of bin boundaries and DR_STATS and DR_STATS_META fields
to report bin configuration and absolute and relative histogram
values:
hist_bins
hist_bounds
hist_ranges
hist_count
hist_count_bounds
hist_count_ranges
hist_percent
hist_percent_bounds
hist_percent_ranges
A new 'histogram' subcommand displays a report that emphasizes
histogram data as either counters or percentage values.
When dmstats is run with -v or higher enable a per-area reporting
mode for statistics regions. This will output one row per area
(rather than one row per region) and adds additional fields of use
when viewing areas:
area_id - index within the region assigned by libdm-stats
area_start - the start location of the area in the containing
device.
Add a pair of fields to expose the current per-interval duation
estimate. The 'interval' field provides a real value in units of
seconds and the 'interval_ns' field provides the same quantity
expressed as a whole number of nanoseconds.
The '--force' switch is only used by dmstats to allow either
creation or deletion of one or more regions on all devices.
These operations do not carry any risk: just a possible mess of
region IDs to be cleaned up.
Remove the use of '--force' for stats commands and change current
uses to a new '--alldevices' switch.
Add the libdm-stats module to libdm: this implements a simple interface
for creating, managing and interrogating I/O statistics regions and
areas on device-mapper devices.
The library interface is documented in libdevmapper.h and provides a
'dm_stats' handle that is used to perform statistics operations and
obtain data.
Public methods are provided to create and destroy handles and to list,
create, and destroy statistics regions as well as to obtain and parse
counter data and calculate rate-based metrics.
This commit also adds a 'dmsetup stats' (aka 'dmstats') command with
'clear', 'create', 'delete', 'list', 'print', and 'report' sub-commands.
See the library documentation and the dmstats.8 manual page for detailed
API and command descriptions.
