Calling pvscan --cache with -aay on a PV without an MDA would spuriously fail
with an internal error, because of an incorrect assumption that a parsed VG
structure was always available. This is not true and the autoactivation handler
needs to call vg_read to obtain metadata in cases where the PV had no MDAs to
parse. Therefore, we pass vgid into the handler instead of the (possibly NULL)
VG coming from the PV's MDA.
Remove no longer needed warning for unsuppoted discards
for non-power-2 lvcreate commands.
(Missed from the patch for the same update in lvchange made
by commit dde5a6c52b)
Attempting pvmove on RAID LVs replaces the kernel RAID target with
a temporary pvmove target, ultimately destroying the RAID LV. pvmove
must be prevented on RAID LVs for now.
Use 'lvconvert --replace old_pv vg/lv new_pv' if you want to move
an image of the RAID LV.
Support swapping of metadata device if the thin pool already
exists. This way it's easy to i.e. resize metadata or their
repair operation.
User may create some empty LV, replace existing metadata
or dump and restore them into bigger LV.
If udev synchronization is disabled by means of --noudevsync
option, we should disable just the synchronization and nothing else.
The udev fallback (verifying udev operations and fixing the
nodes/symlinks if found incorrect) is orthogonal and controlled
by a separate activation/verify_udev_operations configuration option.
Allow restoring metadata with thin pool volumes.
No validation is done for this case within vgcfgrestore tool -
thus incorrect metadata may lead to destruction of pool content.
Configurable settings for thin pool create
if they are not specified on command line.
New supported lvm.conf options are:
allocation/thin_pool_chunk_size
allocation/thin_pool_discards
allocation/thin_pool_zero
Similar to the way the 'mirror', 'raid1' and 'raid10' segment types set
the number of mirrors to 2 ('-m 1') if the argument is not specified,
here we set the number of stripes to 2 if not given on the command line
when creating a RAID10 LV.
Move common functions for lvcreate and lvconvert.
get_pool_params() - read thin pool args.
update_pool_params() - updates/validates some thin args.
It is getting complicated and even few more things will be
implemented, so to avoid reimplementing things differently
in lvcreate and lvconvert code has been splitted
into 2 common functions that allow some future extension.
Target tells us its version, and we may allow different set of options
to be supported with different version of driver.
Idea is to provide individual feature flags and later be
able to query for them.
This patch is intended to fix bug 825323 - FS turns read-only during a double
fault of a mirror leg and mirrored log's leg at the same time. It only
affects a 2-way mirror with a mirrored log. 3+-way mirrors and mirrors
without a mirrored log are not affected.
The problem resulted from the fact that the top level mirror was not
using 'noflush' when suspending before its "down-convert". When a
mirror image fails, the bios are queue until a suspend is recieved. If
it is a 'noflush' suspend, the bios can be safely requeued in the DM
core. If 'noflush' is not used, the bios must be pushed through the
target and if a device is failed for a mirror, that means issuing an
error. When an error is received by a file system, it results in it
turning read-only (depending on the FS).
Part of the problem was is due to the nature of the stacking involved in
using a mirror as a mirror's log. When an image in each fail, the top
level mirror stalls because it is waiting for a log flush. The other
stalls waiting for corrective action. When the repair command is issued,
the entire stacked arrangement is collapsed to a linear LV. The log
flush then fails (somewhat uncleanly) and the top-level mirror is suspended
without 'noflush' because it is a linear device.
This patch allows the log to be repaired first, which in turn allows the
top-level mirror's log flush to complete cleanly. The top-level mirror
is then secondarily reduced to a linear device - at which time this mirror
is suspended properly with 'noflush'.
Use log_warn to print non-fatal warning messages.
Use of log_error would confuse checker for testing
whether proper error has been reported for some real error.
When valgrind usage is desired by user (--enable-valgrind-pool)
skip playing/closing/reopenning with descriptors - it makes
valgridng useless.
Make sleep delay for clvmd start longer.
A while back, the behavior of LVM changed from allowing metadata changes
when PVs were missing to not allowing changes. Until recently, this
change was tolerated by HA-LVM by forcing a 'vgreduce --removemissing'
before trying (again) to add tags to an LV and then activate it. LVM
mirroring requires that failed devices are removed anyway, so this was
largely harmless. However, RAID LVs do not require devices to be removed
from the array in order to be activated. In fact, in an HA-LVM
environment this would be very undesirable. Device failures in such an
environment can often be transient and it would be much better to restore
the device to the array than synchronize an entirely new device.
There are two methods that can be used to setup an HA-LVM environment:
"clvm" or "tagging". For RAID LVs, "clvm" is out of the question because
RAID LVs are not supported in clustered VGs - not even in an exclusively
activated manner. That leaves "tagging". HA-LVM uses tagging - coupled
with 'volume_list' - to ensure that only one machine can have an LV active
at a time. If updates are not allowed when a PV is missing, it is
impossible to add or remove tags to allow for activation. This removes
one of the most basic functionalities of HA-LVM - site redundancy. If
mirroring or RAID is used to replicate the storage in two data centers
and one of them goes down, a server and a storage device are lost. When
the service fails-over to the alternate site, the VG will be "partial".
Unable to add a tag to the VG/LV, the RAID device will be unable to
activate.
The solution is to allow vgchange and lvchange to alter the LVM metadata
for a limited set of options - --[add|del]tag included. The set of
allowable options are ones that do not cause changes to the DM kernel
target (like --resync would) or could alter the structure of the LV
(like allocation or conversion).
Compared to names, UUIDs can't be renamed once they are created
for a device. The 'mangle' command will just issue an error message
about a need for manual intervention in this case - reactivating the
device (remove + create) does the job as the defualt mangling mode
used is "auto" and that will assign a correct mangled form the UUID.
For now this convertions is not supported, thus disabled.
The only supported conversion for now is to create mirrored thin pools
from mirrored devices.
Update code for lvconvert.
Change the lvconvert user interface a bit - now we require 2 specifiers
--thinpool takes LV name for data device (and makes the name)
--poolmetadata takes LV name for metadata device.
Fix type in thin help text -z -> -Z.
Supported is also new flag --discards for thinpools.
