The ExecStartPost with pvscan --cache in lvm2-lvmetad.service
is not needed now as this is called transparently within the
first LVM command that queries lvmetad.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" that the "lvm2-activation.service"
had as a dependency (which was fedora-specific solution anyway)
is obsolete now as this unit called "modprobe scsi_wait_scan"
which is not used anymore.
The "fedora-wait-storage.service" had "systemd-udev-settle" as
its dependency, so let's depend on this one directly now,
bypassing the out-dated "fedora-wait-storage.service".
The lvm2 activation generator generates systemd units conditionally
based on the global/use_lvmetad lvm.conf setting.
If use_lvmetad=0, the lvm2-activation-early.service and lvm2-activation.service
units will be generated. These units are responsible for direct volume activation
by calling "vgchange -aay --sysinit" (this is actually the original on-boot
activation as it was used before). If use_lvmetad=1, no units will be generated
as we're relying on autoactivation.
Important thing to note is that the lvm2-activation units normally bring
in the udev-settle ("storage-wait") service that waits for udev to settle
(with block devices). We don't need this if lvmetad is used in conjunction
with autoactivation feature... but systemd units can't be enabled or disabled
(or dependencies added/removed) dynamically based on external configuration.
Therefore, we need the unit generator which adds support for such situations:
the units as a whole either exist or not based on the external configuration.
Monitoring is handled using "vgchange --monitor" call. Ensure that lvmetad is up
and running at the time of this call to prevent any fallback to direct scan
within the vgchange. The same applies for shutdown sequence but the other way
round - switch monitoring off and lvmetad afterwards.
The clmvd init script called "vgchange -aly" before to activate
all VGs in cluster environment. This activated all VGs, no matter
if it was clustered or not.
Auto activation for clustered VGs is not supported yet so the behaviour
of -aay is still the same as before for clustered VGs. However, for
non-clustered VGs, we need to check with the activation/auto_activation_volume_list
whether the VG/LV should be activated on boot or not.
There were several hard-coded values for run directory around the code.
Also, some tools are DM specific only, others are LVM specific and there
was no distinction made here before. With this patch applied, we have
this cleaned up a bit (subsystem in brackets, defaults in parentheses):
[common] configurable PID_DIR (/var/run)
lvm [lvm] configurable RUN_DIR (/var/run/lvm)
configurable locking dir (/var/lock/lvm)
clvmd [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/clvmd.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/clvmd.sock)
lvmetad [lvm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/lvmetad.pid)
socket (RUN_DIR/lvmetad.socket)
dm [dm] configurable DM_RUN_DIR (/var/run)
cmirrord [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/cmirrord.pid)
dmeventd [dm] configurable pid file (PID_DIR/dmeventd.pid)
server fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-server)
client fifo (DM_RUN_DIR/dmeventd-client)
The changes briefly:
- added configure --with-default-pid-dir
- added configure --with-default-dm-run-dir
- added configure --with-lvmetad-pidfile
- by default, using one common pid directory for everything
(only lvmetad was not following this before)
Fix propagation of -e option - pass it via internal shell variable.
Fix parsing of /proc/mounts files (don't check for substrings).
as reported by O.Mangold with suggested patch:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2012-February/msg00030.html
Properly pass arguments with spaces ("$@")
Add validation for YES and EXTOFF variable content.
LISTEN_PID and LISTEN_FDS environment variables are defined only during systemd
"start" action. But we still need to know whether we're activated during
"reload" action as well - we use the reload action to call "dmeventd -R"/"lvmetad -R"
for statefull daemon restart. We can't use normal "restart" as that is simply
composed of "stop" and "start" and we would lose any state the daemon has.
/etc/tmpfiles.d directory holds configuration files for temporary/volatile
files and directories that should be automatically managed. For example,
if we have some parts of the fs hierarchy on tmpfs, we'd like to recreate
some files or directories on every boot so they're always prepared for use.
Systemd can read such configuration files. For now, the lock and run directory
are the ones that are most probably placed on tmpfs. If this is the case, we
can install the configuration by 'make install_tmpfiles_configuration'.
Normally, restart simply means "stop and start" for systemd. However, if
we're installing new versions of the dmeventd binary/libdevmapper, we need
to restart dmeventd. This fails if we have some devices monitored - we need
to call "dmeventd -R" instead.
The "ExecReload" did not work quite well in some old versions of systemd,
systemd assumed that only the configuration is reloaded on "ExecReload",
not the whole binary itself so it lost track of dmeventd daemon (it lost new
dmeventd PID). This is fixed and seems to be working fine now with recent
versions of dmeventd.
