The new option "--fs String" for lvresize/lvreduce/lvextend
controls the handling of file systems before/after resizing
the LV. --resizefs is the same as --fs resize.
The new option "--fsmode String" can be used to control
mounting and unmounting of the fs during resizing.
Possible --fs values:
checksize
Only applies to reducing size; does nothing for extend.
Check the fs size and reduce the LV if the fs is not using
the affected space, i.e. the fs does not need to be shrunk.
Fail the command without reducing the fs or LV if the fs is
using the affected space.
resize
Resize the fs using the fs-specific resize command.
This may include mounting, unmounting, or running fsck.
See --fsmode to control mounting behavior, and --nofsck to
disable fsck.
resize_fsadm
Use the old method of calling fsadm to handle the fs
(deprecated.) Warning: this option does not prevent lvreduce
from destroying file systems that are unmounted (or mounted
if prompts are skipped.)
ignore
Resize the LV without checking for or handling a file system.
Warning: using ignore when reducing the LV size may destroy the
file system.
Possible --fsmode values:
manage
Mount or unmount the fs as needed to resize the fs,
and attempt to restore the original mount state at the end.
nochange
Do not mount or unmount the fs. If mounting or unmounting
is required to resize the fs, then do not resize the fs or
the LV and fail the command.
offline
Unmount the fs if it is mounted, and resize the fs while it
is unmounted. If mounting is required to resize the fs,
then do not resize the fs or the LV and fail the command.
Notes on lvreduce:
When no --fs or --resizefs option is specified:
. lvextend default behavior is fs ignore.
. lvreduce default behavior is fs checksize
(includes activating the LV.)
With the exception of --fs resize_fsadm|ignore, lvreduce requires
the recent libblkid fields FSLASTBLOCK and FSBLOCKSIZE.
FSLASTBLOCK*FSBLOCKSIZE is the last byte used by the fs on the LV,
which determines if reducing the fs is necessary.
Names matching internal code layout.
Functionc in thin_manip.c uses thin_pool in its name.
Keep 'pool' only for function working for both cache and thin pools.
No change of functionality.
When thin-pool had queued some delete message on extension operation
such message has been 'lost' and thin-pool kernel metadata has been
left with a thin volume that no longer existed for lvm2 metadata.
When cache creation fails on table reload path, implemen more
advanced revert solution, that tries to restore state of LVM
metadata into is look before actual caching started.
Since VDO is always returns 'zero' on unprovisioned read
and every provisioned block is always 'zeroed' on partial writes,
we can avoid 'zeroing' of such LVs.
Add profilable configurable setting for vdo pool header size, that is
used as 'extra' empty space at the front and end of vdo-pool device
to avoid having a disk in the system the may have same data is real
vdo LV.
For some conversion cases however we may need to allow using '0' header size.
TODO: in this case we may eventually avoid adding 'linear' mapping layer
in future - but this requires further modification over lvm code base.
Previously there have been necessary explicit call of backup (often
either forgotten or over-used). With this patch the necessity to
store backup is remember at vg_commit and once the VG is unlocked,
the committed metadata are automatically store in backup file.
This may possibly alter some printed messages from command when the
backup is now taken later.
Instead of calling explicit archive with command processing logic,
move this step towards 1st. vg_write() call, which will automatically
store archive of committed metadata.
This slightly changes some error path where the error in archiving
was detected earlier in the command, while now some on going command
'actions' might have been, but will be simply scratched in case
of error (since even new metadata would not have been even written).
So general effect should be only some command message ordering.
The autoactivation property can be specified in lvcreate
or vgcreate for new LVs/VGs, and the property can be changed
by lvchange or vgchange for existing LVs/VGs.
--setautoactivation y|n
enables|disables autoactivation of a VG or LV.
Autoactivation is enabled by default, which is consistent with
past behavior. The disabled state is stored as a new flag
in the VG metadata, and the absence of the flag allows
autoactivation.
If autoactivation is disabled for the VG, then no LVs in the VG
will be autoactivated (the LV autoactivation property will have
no effect.) When autoactivation is enabled for the VG, then
autoactivation can be controlled on individual LVs.
The state of this property can be reported for LVs/VGs using
the "-o autoactivation" option in lvs/vgs commands, which will
report "enabled", or "" for the disabled state.
Previous versions of lvm do not recognize this property. Since
autoactivation is enabled by default, the disabled setting will
have no effect in older lvm versions. If the VG is modified by
older lvm versions, the disabled state will also be dropped from
the metadata.
The autoactivation property is an alternative to using the lvm.conf
auto_activation_volume_list, which is still applied to to VGs/LVs
in addition to the new property.
If VG or LV autoactivation is disabled either in metadata or in
auto_activation_volume_list, it will not be autoactivated.
An autoactivation command will silently skip activating an LV
when the autoactivation property is disabled.
To determine the effective autoactivation behavior for a specific
LV, multiple settings would need to be checked:
the VG autoactivation property, the LV autoactivation property,
the auto_activation_volume_list. The "activation skip" property
would also be relevant, since it applies to both normal and auto
activation.
Enabled extension/mixing of stripes/linears, error and zero
segtype LVs with stripes/linear, error and zero segtypes.
It is not very useful in practice, as the user cannot store any real
data on error or zero segtypes, but it may get some uses in
some scenarios where i.e. some portion of the device should not be
readable. Mixing of types happens on 'extent_size' level:
lvcreate -L1 -n lv vg
lvextend --type error -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type zero -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type linear -L+1 vg/lv
lvextend --type striped -L+1 vg/lv
lvs -o+segtype,seg_size vg
Note: when the type is not specified, the last segment type is
automatically selected.
It's also a small 'can of worms' since we can't tell LVs if
the LV is linear/error/zero or their mixtures. So the meaning behind
them may need some updates.
We already have this types of LV created i.e by:
vgreduce --removemissing --force
where missing LV segments have been replaced by either
error or zero segtype (lvm.conf).
TODO: it might be worth adding a message while such device is activated.
Add some extra code to handle differently sized thin-pool
from thin-pool data volume.
ATM this can't really happen, but once we start to use multiple
commits while resizing stacked LV, we may actually get into
the position, where data LV has been already resized,
but thin-pool stayed with old size.
But for now - report difference as internal error.
Reuse similar 'acceleration' as used for dependent volumes also
for snapshot - so when origin is being removed with all thick
snapshots, don't bother with individual 'COW' detachments
and write&commits, and when possible handle this all within
a single commit.
Move code for prompting about removed LV to a single function
and use it also to prompt for removal of origin and all its thick
snapshots and also when removing merging origin.
Function does handle postponed write_and_commit so there is
no 'in-flight' operation while waiting on [y|n] answer.
Since cached LV is going to be removed together with its cache,
there is not much to gain if we try to flush cache first.
User may use 'vgcfgrestore' to get back origin + cache.
Assuming user is not using issue_discards.
When data are discarded after remove there is nothing to restore!
This change allows to futher reduce number of commits
during lvremove/vgremove.
When lvremove/vgremove removes thin volumes with its thin-pool as well,
try to skip any updates of such thin-pool, so when everything properly
deactivates, there is no message send to this thin-pool and whole
thin-pool is removed with a single commit.
Another step towards better automatic handling of backup,
and automatically setup needs_backup after commit.
In some next step we should reduce number of backups and takem
then only at the command finish with vg_committed content.
Just like with deactivation, call of 'lv_is_not_in_use()'
now has embeded report for inactivate LV.
Note: this patch cannot be backported to stable-2.02 - as
there lv_is_active() has 'cluster' meaning and differs from lvinfo().
This patch postpones update of lvm metadata for each removed
LV for later moment depending on LV type.
It also queues messages to be printed after such write & commit.
As such there is some change in the behavior - although before
prompt we do make write&commit happens automatically in some
other error case we rather keep 'existing' state - so there
could be difference in amount of removed & commited LVs.
IMHO introduce logic is slightly better and more save.
But some cases still need the early commit - i.e. thin-removal
and fixing this needs some more thinking.
TODO: improve removal at least with the case of the whole thin-pool.
i.e. we can simply recognize removal of 'all LVs/whole VG'.
Taking backup with each removed LV is slowing down the process
considerable and is largerly uneeded. We are supposed to take
backup only on significant points and making sure the backup
is correct when the command is finished.
TODO: check how many other commands can be improved.
User use 'lvconvert -Zn --type vdo-pool' to convert an existing
vdo formated volume and skip lvm2 internal formating.
This however requires user is passing proper matching parameters.
For them user can use --profile|--metadataprofile option whos
support has been also enhanced.
TODO: add support to read values directly from formated volume.
In some cases we use 'creation' also during conversion.
Here it can be actually unwanted side effect we may remove
not just newly created layers - but also original converted LV.
So until we make clear how to properly revert from some errors
in middle of conversion, disable removal for any 'lvconvert' commands.
Automatically figure out resizable layer in the LV stack and
resize it online.
Split check for reshaped raids and postpone removal of
unused space after finished reshaping after metadata archiving.
Drop warning about unsupported automatic resize of monitored thin-pool.
Currently there is not yet support for resize of writecache.
Current allocation limitation requires to fit metadata/log LV on
a single PV. This is usually not a big problem, but since
thin-pool and cache-pool is using this for allocating extents
for their metadata LVs it might be eventually causing errors
where the remaining free spaces for large metadata size is spread
over several PV.
Initial support for thin-pool used slightly smaller max size 15.81GiB
for thin-pool metadata. However the real limit later settled at 15.88GiB
(difference is ~64MiB - 16448 4K blocks).
lvm2 could not simply increase the size as it has been using hard cropping
of the loaded metadata device to avoid warnings printing warning of kernel
when the size was bigger (i.e. due to bigger extent_size).
This patch adds the new lvm.conf configurable setting:
allocation/thin_pool_crop_metadata
which defaults to 0 -> no crop of metadata beyond 15.81GiB.
Only user with these sizes of metadata will be affected.
Without cropping lvm2 now limits metadata allocation size to 15.88GiB.
Any space beyond is currently not used by thin-pool target.
Even if i.e. bigger LV is used for metadata via lvconvert,
or allocated bigger because of to large extent size.
With cropping enabled (=1) lvm2 preserves the old limitation
15.81GiB and should allow to work in the evironement with
older lvm2 tools (i.e. older distribution).
Thin-pool metadata with size bigger then 15.81G is now using CROP_METADATA
flag within lvm2 metadata, so older lvm2 recognizes an
incompatible thin-pool and cannot activate such pool!
Users should use uncropped version as it is not suffering
from various issues between thin_repair results and allocated
metadata LV as thin_repair limit is 15.88GiB
Users should use cropping only when really needed!
Patch also better handles resize of thin-pool metadata and prevents resize
beoyond usable size 15.88GiB. Resize beyond 15.81GiB automatically
switches pool to no-crop version. Even with existing bigger thin-pool
metadata command 'lvextend -l+1 vg/pool_tmeta' does the change.
Patch gives better controls 'coverted' metadata LV and
reports less confusing message during conversion.
Patch set also moves the code for updating min/max into pool_manip.c
for better sharing with cache_pool code.
New VDO targets v6.2.3 corrects support for online rename of VDO device.
If needed if can be disable via new lvm.conf setting:
vdo_disabled_features = [ "online_rename" ]
When removing pool LV from a stacked LV setup, it's been possible
to leak _pmspare and such hidden LV then required manual
user removal.
Fix it by moving automatic removal into _lv_reduce().
Since commit 77fdc17d70 always include
log_len size into needed extents - however now we may need sometimes
more extents then necessary - mainly when multiple PVs are involved
into allocation.
Add logs_still_needed into calculation of sufficient_pes_free()
Since BLKZEROOUT ioctl should be supposedly fastest
way how to clear block device start using this ioctl
for zeroing a device. Commonly we do zero typically
small portion of a device (8KiB) - however since we now
also started to zero metadata devices, in the case
of i.e. thin-pool metadata this can go upto ~16GiB
and here the performance starts to be noticable.
Since dev_set_bytes() now closes dev on error path itself,
remove this unneeded call now (introduced few commits back
in history thus removing comment from WHATS_NEW)
Introduce structures lv_status_thin_pool and
lv_status_thin (pair to lv_status_cache, lv_status_vdo)
Convert lv_thin_percent() -> lv_thin_status()
and lv_thin_pool_percent() + lv_thin_pool_transaction_id() ->
lv_thin_pool_status().
This way a function user can see not only percentages, but also
other important status info about thin-pool.
TODO:
This patch tries to not change too many other things,
but pool_below_threshold() now uses new thin-pool info to return
failure if thin-pool cannot be actually modified.
This should be handle separately in a better way.
Improve error response and reporting, when creating thin snapshots.
If the thin pool kernel metadata already have device with ID lvm2
tries to create, give more meanigful error message and also properly
restore transaction id to the value known to thin-pool in this case.
Before it's been possible to divert by one from kernel TID value,
and lvm2 stacked delete message for such thin device.
Since ATM kernel does not support this operation,
disable 'lvrename' of an active vdopool.
As a workaround, user may simply deactivate, rename and activate.
When user tries to extend vdo pool - he needs to go always
at least by 1 full VDO slab (defined as vdo_slab_size_mb).
To avoid all trouble around find 'workable' size - lvm2 automatically
increases the passed (or by --use-policies calculated) extension size
(and informs a user about sometimes possibly large increase as slab
size can go upto 32GiB)
With VDO users need to always 'think-big' anyway and expect such
operation to be in GiB domain range.
When thetable reload fails during suspend() - we were only calling
plain resume() - and this will reload only those devices,
which were left suspend, but will not try to restore
metadata state according to lvm2 reverted metadata.
So if we were reloading device tree - we have restored
only top-level LV and rest of reverted device manipulation
were left alone and possibly mismatched what is in committed
metadata.
FIXME: There are several cases were such revert will likely not work
properly anyway as some operation are currenly handled in single commit,
while they need multiple commits, but it's step towards better correctness.
At least we catch there errors now earlier.
Metadata size was calculated correctly only for raids.
Fixes problem for crash during lvcreate when thin-pool was created
on a VG where remaining free space had the size to only fit a single
metadata LV and not also its _pmspare.
Lvcreate crashed with this assert message:
lvcreate: metadata/pv_map.c:198: consume_pv_area: Assertion `to_go <= pva->count' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
TODO: there is probably to large overload of several alloc_handle
variables.

Reported-by: Zhiqiang Liu <liuzhiqiang26@huawei.com>
When using --use-policy for automatic extension of thin-pool,
the extension of thin-pool's metadata itself can actually take
some extra space.
Since I'm not aware of exact compensation formula, add just
1% extra to calculated amount and hope it fits.
Wanted target is to always have usable thin-pool that fits
bellow pool_metadata_min_threshold().
Correcting rounding rules for percentage evaluation.
Validate supported range of percentage.
(although ranges are already validated earlier on code path)
Switch remaining zero sized struct to flexible arrays to be C99
complient.
These simple rules should apply:
- The incomplete array type must be the last element within the structure.
- There cannot be an array of structures that contain a flexible array member.
- Structures that contain a flexible array member cannot be used as a member of another structure.
- The structure must contain at least one named member in addition to the flexible array member.
Although some of the code pieces should be still improved.
Currently lvm2 is not wiping signatures when creating 'metadata' volumes
and raid _rmeta was the only exception - so make the behavior consistent
with other metadata devices and drop wiping ATM.
Drop also some extra debug since they are now more explanatory in
wipe_lv() function.
Also note - although lvm2 now does not wipe signatures - the error
from such wipping used to be actually 'ignored' before wipe_lv()
started to return error (with recent commit) and raid creation
continued with 'unzeroed' metadata device.
TODO: Several issues to resolve:
1. We may want to flip to wipping with all LVs (in that case we need to
support passing --yet & --force).
2. Also we may want to clear whole metadata device - however current
function is also used for wipping i.e. snapshot COW device which
is likely not a good candidate for full device zeroing.
We may also need to think about better logic when extent size is
enforcing very large LVs, when only a small portion of LV is ever
being used.
3. Using TRIM instead of zeroing metadata device might be worth to
implement.
mm
To avoid polution of metadata with some 'garbage' content or eventualy
some leak of stale data in case user want to upload metadata somewhere,
ensure upon allocation the metadata device is fully zeroed.
Behaviour may slow down allocation of thin-pool or cache-pool a bit
so the old behaviour can be restored with lvm.conf setting:
allocation/zero_metadata=0
TODO: add zeroing for extension of metadata volume.
Failure in wiping/zeroing stop the command.
If user wants to avoid command abortion he should use -Zn or -Wn
to avoid wiping.
Note: there is no easy way to distinguish which kind of failure has
happend - so it's safe to not proceed any futher.
dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum. When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.
Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):
lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]
Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV
Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV
Settings
Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.
Initialization
When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized. The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)
Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:
$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
Logical volume "rr" created.
$ lvs -a foo

rr foo rwi-a-r--- 1.00g 4.93
[rr_rimage_0] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_0_iorig] 41.02

[rr_rmeta_0] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
[rr_rmeta_1] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
clang: it's supposedly impossible path to hit, as we should always
have origin_lv defined when running this path, but adding protection
isn't a big issue to make this obvious to analyzer.
Since _reserve_area() may fail due to error allocation failure,
add support to report this already reported failure upward.
FIXME: it's log_error() without causing direct command failure.
When resizing 2 volumes like thin-pool and it's metadata and they
would be of a different type - command would be actually expecting
both LVs being of a same segtype - and would throw an error in
case they are different.
This patch fixes is by setting a new segtype from last segment of
2nd. extented device.
Also it fixes the possible 'percentage' extension setup that
might have been used for 'primary' volume - while the 'secondary'
LV always goes with direct size - as we do not support 'percentage'
setup for them
This affects maily usage of thin-pool where the extension of
thin-pool data size may also lead to extension of metadata size.
