o There is still a bit missing
+ all are missing the {PV,VG,LV} # - that is not applicable in LVM2
+ pvdisplay doesn't show how many LVs are contained on it
+ much of the snapshot information isn't available for lvdisplay
o Look at the code for other potiential FIXMEs :)
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!
Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files. Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.
Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).
e.g. metadata {
dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}
Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.
from lock_vol() - otherwise it now attempts to acquire the lock and then
immediately releases it.
o Extend the id field in struct logical_volume to hold VG uuid + LV uuid
for format1. This unique lvid can be used directly when calling lock_vol().
o Add the VG uuid to vgcache to make VG uuid lookups possible. (Another
step towards using them instead of VG names internally.)
o #defines for common lock flag combinations
o Try out hyphens instead of colons in device-mapper names - does this
make messages containing filenames easier to read?
o Use first unused lv_number when creating new LV
o Use lv_number for refs to snapshots
o Update persistent minor logic after the lvcreate restructure
o Reset all parameters before use in lvcreate.
and add severe warning if it's used to make a device seem bigger than
it really is. This is not an option people should be using as it
breaks metadata integrity.
o Use uint64_t throughout (rather than unsigned long long)
o Convert a few messages that contain pathnames into the more common form:
pathname: message
all since it only supports vg_write. It has been replaced with:
int archive_vg(struct volume_group *vg,
const char *dir,
const char *desc,
uint32_t retain_days,
uint32_t min_archive);
which is now called directly by tools/archive.c
o Text format now has a description and time field at the top level.
o archiving and backup set the description appropriately. eg,
for an archive:
description = "Created *before* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
for a backup:
description = "Created *after* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
creation_time = 1013166332
This is preparing the way for a simple vgcfgundo command.
slightly different from the current LVM1 method.
lvcreate --persistent y --minor 10 (to specify when created)
lvchange --persistent n (to turn off)
lvchange --persistent y --minor 11 (to change)
--persistent uses a new LV status flag stored on disk
minor number is stored on disk the same way as LVM1 does
(but major number stored is 0; any LVM1 major/minor setting gets lost)
lvchange -ay --minor 12 (to activate using minor 12, regardless of the
on-disk setting, which doesn't get changed)
--minor == -m
--persistent == -M
missing from a VG. (Linear targets use the device-mapper 'error' target
which returns ioerror; striped targets use '/dev/ioerror' for now - which must
already exist e.g. as a sufficiently large block device version of /dev/zero).
struct pv_list {
struct list list;
struct physical_volume pv;
};
to
struct pv_list {
struct list list;
struct physical_volume *pv;
};
o New function in toollib 'create_pv_list', which creates a list of pv's
from a given command line array of pv's.
o Changed lvcreate/extend to use this (fixes lvextend [pv list] bug).
Kernel driver has a version number (stored in kernel/VERSION).
The first two components of this (0.94) give the version number of the
ioctl interface. This number must be changed whenever a change is
made to the ioctl interface that breaks backwards compatibility.
The library has a version number (stored in VERSION) which is
used for linking.
The first and/or second component of this must be changed whenever
a change is made to the library API that breaks backwards
compatibility.
onto a new device). uuid specified must not already exist on the system.
o More message tidying.
o When checking for label, only read PV metadata.
o Add ataraid. [Needs moving into config/defaults files.]
o updated vgcfgrestore args
o change _check_for_open_devices only to check devices present in the hash
table instead of using dev_iter which triggers a full scan even when only
displaying command line help
Supply offset to start of variable data area (so struct size can change
without breaking backward compatibility)
Add command that just returns the driver version
is active in the device-mapper.
o Many operations can be carried out regardless of whether the VG is
active or not.
o vgscan does not activate anything - use vgchange.
o Change lvrename to support renaming of active LVs.
o Remove '//' appearing in some pathnames.
o Dummy lv_check_segments() for compilation.
I've split the old autobackup function into two seperate areas:
'archiving' is performed *before* a vg configuration is changed. This
produces a numbered backup in /etc/lvm/archive.
A 'backup' is performed *after* a vg change. So the directory /etc/lvm/backup
will hold the a copy of the current configuration.
at the top of the file.
o Changed completion_matches -> rl_completion_matches, and added some consts.
This will probably break things on pre readline 4.2 systems.
o There is now a _default_debug, and _default_verbose level, when
using lvm interactively -vv and -dd switches just effect the current
command.
o Added a --quiet switch which sets both verbose and debug to zero.
o Introduced the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR variable.
This makes more sense because the persistent cache, and backup directories
are config specific.
eg, I use /etc/lvm for running my real LV's
but I have another directory /dev/lvm_loops that contains a config
that allows only loopback devices, I use this for testing.
o You must list long args with no short option (eg. --version) at the
front of the args.h file.
o If an argument has no short option, set the short option in args.h to '\0'
o The index into the 'the_args' var is now stored as the option value
for getopt, iff there is no short opt.
A substantial speed-up - particularly in readline mode.
If the hints turn out to be wrong, the relevant parts get thrown away.
vgscan destroys it totally. In both cases it then rebuilds itself as
required.
