87aca628d6 thin: lvresize supports pool metadata resize
Add support for lvresize of thin pool metadata device.

lvresize --poolmetadatasize +20   vgname/thinpool_lv

or

lvresize -L +20 vgname/thinpool_lv_tmeta

Where the second one allows all the args for resize (striping...)
and the first option resizes accoding to the last metadata lv segment.

562c678ee2 DM RAID: Add ability to throttle sync operations for RAID LVs.
This patch adds the ability to set the minimum and maximum I/O rate for
sync operations in RAID LVs.  The options are available for 'lvcreate' and
'lvchange' and are as follows:
  --minrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
  --maxrecoveryrate <Rate> [bBsSkKmMgG]
The rate is specified in size/sec/device.  If a suffix is not given,
kiB/sec/device is assumed.  Setting the rate to 0 removes the preference.

2e0740f7ef RAID: Add writemostly/writebehind support for RAID1
'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--

ff64e3500f RAID: Add scrubbing support for RAID LVs
New options to 'lvchange' allow users to scrub their RAID LVs.
Synopsis:
	lvchange --syncaction {check|repair} vg/raid_lv

RAID scrubbing is the process of reading all the data and parity blocks in
an array and checking to see whether they are coherent.  'lvchange' can
now initaite the two scrubbing operations: "check" and "repair".  "check"
will go over the array and recored the number of discrepancies but not
repair them.  "repair" will correct the discrepancies as it finds them.

'lvchange --syncaction repair vg/raid_lv' is not to be confused with
'lvconvert --repair vg/raid_lv'.  The former initiates a background
synchronization operation on the array, while the latter is designed to
repair/replace failed devices in a mirror or RAID logical volume.

Additional reporting has been added for 'lvs' to support the new
operations.  Two new printable fields (which are not printed by
default) have been added: "syncaction" and "mismatches".  These
can be accessed using the '-o' option to 'lvs', like:
	lvs -o +syncaction,mismatches vg/lv
"syncaction" will print the current synchronization operation that the
RAID volume is performing.  It can be one of the following:
        - idle:   All sync operations complete (doing nothing)
        - resync: Initializing an array or recovering after a machine failure
        - recover: Replacing a device in the array
        - check: Looking for array inconsistencies
        - repair: Looking for and repairing inconsistencies
The "mismatches" field with print the number of descrepancies found during
a check or repair operation.

The 'Cpy%Sync' field already available to 'lvs' will print the progress
of any of the above syncactions, including check and repair.

Finally, the lv_attr field has changed to accomadate the scrubbing operations
as well.  The role of the 'p'artial character in the lv_attr report field
as expanded.  "Partial" is really an indicator for the health of a
logical volume and it makes sense to extend this include other health
indicators as well, specifically:
        'm'ismatches:  Indicates that there are discrepancies in a RAID
                       LV.  This character is shown after a scrubbing
                       operation has detected that portions of the RAID
                       are not coherent.
        'r'efresh   :  Indicates that a device in a RAID array has suffered
                       a failure and the kernel regards it as failed -
                       even though LVM can read the device label and
                       considers the device to be ok.  The LV should be
                       'r'efreshed to notify the kernel that the device is
                       now available, or the device should be 'r'eplaced
                       if it is suspected of failing.

b73de73151 thin: lvconvert support for external origin
Add basic support for converting LV into an external origin volume.

Syntax:

lvconvert --thinpool vg/pool  --originname renamed_origin -T origin

It will convert volume  'origin' into a thin volume, which will
use 'renamed_origin' as an external read-only origin.
All read/write into origin will go via 'pool'.

renamed_origin volume is read-only volume, that could be activated
only in read-only mode, and cannot be modified.

3ab46449f4 vgimport: Allow '--force' to import VGs with missing PVs.
When there are missing PVs in a volume group, most operations that alter
the LVM metadata are disallowed.  It turns out that 'vgimport' is one of
those disallowed operations.  This is bad because it creates a circular
dependency.  'vgimport' will complain that the VG is inconsistent and that
'vgreduce --removemissing' must be run.  However, 'vgreduce' cannot be run
because it has not been imported.  Therefore, 'vgimport' must be one of
the operations allowed to change the metadata when PVs are missing.  The
'--force' option is the way to make 'vgimport' happen in spite of the
missing PVs.

83978cdec8 man page (lvcreate): Better explain stripes option for RAID 4/5/6.
Do a better job explaining the '--stripes/-i' option to lvcreate
when it comes to RAID 4/5/6.  The extra devices needed for parity
are implicitly added to the argument given.  So a 5-device RAID6
logical volume is created with '-i 3' - indicating 3 stripes plus
the implicit 2 devices needed for RAID6.

e191780947 RAID: Make RAID 4/5/6 display sync status under heading s/Copy%/Cpy%Sync
The heading 'Copy%' is specific to PVMOVE volumes, but can be generalized
to apply to LVM mirrors also.  It is a bit awkward to use 'Copy%' for
RAID 4/5/6, however - 'Sync%' would be more appropriate.  This is why
RAID 4/5/6 have not displayed their sync status by any means available to
'lvs' yet.

Example (old):
[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# lvs vg
  LV      VG   Attr      LSize  Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Cpy%Sy Convert
  lv    vg   -wi-a----  1.00g
  raid1 vg   rwi-a-r--  1.00g                             100.00
  raid4 vg   rwi-a-r--  1.01g
  raid5 vg   rwi-a-r--  1.01g
  raid6 vg   rwi-a-r--  1.01g

This patch changes the heading to 'Cpy%Sync' and allows RAID 4/5/6 to print
their sync percent in this field.

Example (new):
[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# lvs vg
  LV    VG   Attr      LSize Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  lv    vg   -wi-a---- 1.00g
  raid1 vg   rwi-a-r-- 1.00g                               100.00
  raid4 vg   rwi-a-r-- 1.01g                               100.00
  raid5 vg   rwi-a-r-- 1.01g                               100.00
  raid6 vg   rwi-a-r-- 1.01g                               100.00

c698ee14bb scripts: introduce blkdeactivate
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.

cd8ea8b437 activate: skip manual activation for --sysinit -aay
When --sysinit -a ay is used with vg/lvchange and lvmetad is up and running,
we should skip manual activation as that would be a useless step - all volumes
are autoactivated once all the PVs for a VG are present.

If lvmetad is not active at the time of the vgchange --sysinit -a ay
call, the activation proceeds in standard 'manual' way.

This way, we can still have vg/lvchange --sysinit -a ay called
unconditionally in system initialization scripts no matter if lvmetad
is used or not.

Support has many limitations and lots of FIXMEs inside,
however it makes initial task when user creates a separate LV for

it for testing.

Easiest API:

More functionality extensions will follow up.
