This patch adds a vgmetadatacopies parameter for metadata balancing.
This parameter provides a simple way for users to create a policy for
placing metadata on PVs automatically by LVM. The behavior is implemented
inside LVM by managing the 'ignore' mda bits. We chose the name
'vgmetadatacopies' as this is a natural extension to the existing parameter
'pvmetadatacopies' / 'metadatacopies' in pvcreate.
This is a first step at VG parameter based metadata balancing. Most users
will probably want to state that they want a certain number of PVs to contain
metadata, and they may be less concerned about a specific number of metadata
copies in the volume group. However, for default values (pvmetadatacopies
is 1 by default), the number of metadatacopies in the volume group, and the
number of PVs with metadata are the same. In the future we could add
vgmetadatacopiespvs to define more specifically the number of pvs in the
VG that contain metadata, but for now we start with this parameter.
Another possible future extension would be to define a specific pv tag
to mark the set of PVs that should be used for metadata balancing. This
tag based approach could be used in conjunction with 'vgmetadatacopies'.
