The LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env var is new - mention it in dumpconfig's
man page.
Also, dumpconfig always displays the top of the config cascade.
To display all the config found in the cascade merged (just like
it's used during LVM command processing), --mergedconfig option
must be used - this one's already described in that man page,
just make sure it's clear and add reference for this option also
in --profile/--commandprofile/--metadataprofile description.
Once LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE environment variable is specified, the profile
referenced is used just like it was specified using "<lvm command> --commandprofile".
If both --commandprofile cmd line option and LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env
var is used, the --commandprofile cmd line option gets preference.
If pvscan is run with device path instead of major:minor pair and this
device still exists in the system and the device is not visible anymore
(due to a filter that is applied), notify lvmetad properly about this.
This makes it more consistent with respect to existing pvscan with
major:minor which already notifies lvmetad about device that is gone
due to filters.
However, if the device is not in the system anymore, we're not able
to translate the original device path into major:minor pair which
lvmetad needs for its action (lvmetad_pv_gone fn). So in this case,
we still need to use major:minor pair only, not device path. But at
least make "pvscan --cache DevicePath" as near as possible to "pvscan
--cahce <major>:<minor>" functionality.
Also add a note to pvscan man page about this difference when using
pvscan --cache with DevicePath and major:minor pair.
The {pv,vg,lv}display commands don't use reporting capabilites and
as such they can't use --binary. This got into the man pages by
mistake - the display commands do not recognize --binary option.

lvcreate of thin pools can now use '-n lv vg' like other lv types,
or it can name the new thin pool in the free arg as 'vg/lv', which
is not allowed with other lv types.
The cache mode of a new cache pool is always explicitly
included in the vg metadata. If a cache mode is not
specified on the command line, the cache mode is taken
from lvm.conf allocation/cache_pool_cachemode, which
defaults to "writethrough".
The cache mode can be displayed with lvs -o+cachemode.
Previously, this was the recommended form for creating a thin pool:
lvconvert --thinpool VG/ThinDataLV --poolmetadata VG/ThinMetaLV
but this is confusing, because --thinpool does not actually take
an arg, and is more naturally used to specify an existing thin pool.
The new recommended form is:
lvconvert --type thin-pool --poolmetadata VG/ThinMetaLV VG/ThinDataLV
Previously, this was the recommended form for creating a cache pool:
lvconvert --cachepool VG/CacheDataLV --poolmetadata VG/CacheMetaLV

The new recommended form is:
lvconvert --type cache-pool --poolmetadata VG/CacheMetaLV VG/CacheDataLV
This patch adds a new flag --deferred to dmsetup remove. If this flag is
specified and the device is open, it is scheduled to be deleted on
close.
struct dm_info is extended.
The existing dm_task_get_info() is converted into a wrapper around the
new version dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove() so existing binaries
can still use the old smaller structure.
Recompiled code will pick up the new larger structure.

Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
The --binary option, if used, causes all the binary values reported
in reporting commands to be displayed as "0" or "1" instead of descriptive
literal values (value "unknown" is still used for values that could not be
determined).
Also, add report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf option with the same
functionality as the --binary option (the --binary option prevails
if both --binary cmd option and report/binary_values_as_numeric lvm.conf
option is used at the same time). The report/binary_values_as_numeric is
also profilable.
This makes it easier to use and check lvm reporting command output in scripts.
pvmove can be used to move single LVs by name or multiple LVs that
lie within the specified PV range (e.g. /dev/sdb1:0-1000). When
moving more than one LV, the portions of those LVs that are in the
range to be moved are added to a new temporary pvmove LV. The LVs
then point to the range in the pvmove LV, rather than the PV
range.
Example 1:
We have two LVs in this example. After they were
created, the first LV was grown, yeilding two segments
in LV1. So, there are two LVs with a total of three
segments.
Before pvmove:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
After pvmove inserts the temporary pvmove LV:
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
-------------------------------------
PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
-------------------------------------
Each of the affected LV segments now point to a
range of blocks in the pvmove LV, which purposefully
corresponds to the segments moved from the original
LVs into the temporary pvmove LV.
The current implementation goes on from here to mirror the temporary
pvmove LV by segment. Further, as the pvmove LV is activated, only
one of its segments is actually mirrored (i.e. "moving") at a time.
The rest are either complete or not addressed yet. If the pvmove
is aborted, those segments that are completed will remain on the
destination and those that are not yet addressed or in the process
of moving will stay on the source PV. Thus, it is possible to have
a partially completed move - some LVs (or certain segments of LVs)
on the source PV and some on the destination.
Example 2:
What 'example 1' might look if it was half-way
through the move.
--------- --------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 | | LV1s1 |
--------- --------- ---------
| | |
-------------------------------------
pvmove0 | seg 0 | seg 1 | seg 2 |
-------------------------------------
| | |
| -------------------------
source PV | | 256 - 511 | 512 - 767 |
| -------------------------
| ||
-------------------------
dest PV | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
-------------------------
This update allows the user to specify that they would like the
pvmove mirror created "by LV" rather than "by segment". That is,
the pvmove LV becomes an image in an encapsulating mirror along
with the allocated copy image.
Example 3:
A pvmove that is performed "by LV" rather than "by segment".
--------- ---------
| LV1s0 | | LV2s0 |
--------- ---------
| |
-------------------------
pvmove0 | * LV-level mirror * |
-------------------------
/ \
pvmove_mimage0 / pvmove_mimage1
------------------------- -------------------------
| seg 0 | seg 1 | | seg 0 | seg 1 |
------------------------- -------------------------
| | | |
------------------------- -------------------------
| 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 | | 000 - 255 | 256 - 511 |
------------------------- -------------------------

The thing that differentiates a pvmove done in this way and a simple
"up-convert" from linear to mirror is the preservation of the
distinct segments. A normal up-convert would simply allocate the
necessary space with no regard for segment boundaries. The pvmove
operation must preserve the segments because they are the critical
boundary between the segments of the LVs being moved. So, when the
pvmove copy image is allocated, all corresponding segments must be
allocated. The code that merges ajoining segments that are part of
the same LV when the metadata is written must also be avoided in
this case. This method of mirroring is unique enough to warrant its
own definitional macro, MIRROR_BY_SEGMENTED_LV. This joins the two
existing macros: MIRROR_BY_SEG (for original pvmove) and MIRROR_BY_LV
(for user created mirrors).
The advantages of performing pvmove in this way is that all of the
LVs affected can be moved together. It is an all-or-nothing approach
that leaves all LV segments on the source PV if the move is aborted.
Additionally, a mirror log can be used (in the future) to provide tracking
of progress; allowing the copy to continue where it left off in the event
there is a deactivation.
Let's use the size of origin as the real base for percenta calculation,
and 'silenly' add needed metadata space for snapshot.
So now command 'lvcreate -s -l100%ORIGIN vg/lv' should always create a
snapshot to handle full device overwrite.
Expresing -lXX%LV is not valid for snapshot, but error message for
snapshost case was not complete and missed %ORIGIN.
Also document correct settings for in manpage properly where
it missed %PVS.
More updates to manglename option.
Add reference to LVM2 resource page, since for a long time,
this is the right places for sources for libdevmapper....
Warn when --udevcookie/DM_UDEV_COOKIE is used with 'dmsetup remove --force'.
When command is doing multiple ioctl operations on a single device,
it may invoke udev activity, that is colliding with further ioctl commands.
The result of such operation becomes unpredictable.
Use of --retry could partially help...
When MAN7, MAN8CLUSTER or MAN8SYSTEMD_GENERATORS would be empty,
don't call respective INSTALL tools.
On older systems they even generate error causing abort
of makefile target.
Since decisions in the silent mode may not be always obvious,
print skipped prompt with answer 'n'.
Also document '-qq' behaviour (single -q only shuts
logging, while -qq sets silent mode).
