The lvchange has both -k/--setactivationskip and -K/--ignoreactivationskip option available for use. The vgchange has only -K/--ignoreactivationskip, but not the -k/--setactivationskip as the ACTIVATION_SKIP flag is an LV property, not a VG one and so we change it only by using the lvchange...

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
lvchange allows you to change the attributes of a logical volume
|
|
including making them known to the kernel ready for use.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-a ", " \-\-activate " [" \fIa | \fIe | \fIl ]{ \fIy | \fIn }
|
|
Controls the availability of the logical volumes for use.
|
|
Communicates with the kernel device-mapper driver via
|
|
libdevmapper to activate (\-ay) or deactivate (\-an) the
|
|
logical volumes. If autoactivation option is used (\-aay),
|
|
the logical volume is activated only if it matches an item in
|
|
the activation/auto_activation_volume_list set in lvm.conf.
|
|
If this list is not set, then all volumes are considered for
|
|
autoactivation. The autoactivation is not yet supported for
|
|
logical volumes that are part of partial or clustered volume groups.
|
|
.IP
|
|
If clustered locking is enabled, -aey will activate exclusively
|
|
on one node and -aly will activate only on the local node.
|
|
To deactivate only on the local node use -aln.
|
|
Logical volumes with single-host snapshots are always activated
|
|
exclusively because they can only be used on one node at once.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-k ", " \-\-setactivationskip " {" \fIy | \fIn }
|
|
Controls whether Logical Volumes are persistently flagged to be
|
|
skipped during activation. By default, thin snapshot volumes are
|
|
flagged for activation skip. To activate such volumes,
|
|
an extra \fB\-K/\-\-ignoreactivationskip\fP option must be used.
|
|
The flag is not applied during deactivation. To see whether
|
|
the flag is attached, use \fBlvs\fP command where the state
|
|
of the flag is reported within \fBlv_attr\fP bits.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-K ", " \-\-ignoreactivationskip
|
|
Ignore the flag to skip Logical Volumes during activation.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-C ", " \-\-contiguous " {" \fIy | \fIn }
|
|
Tries to set or reset the contiguous allocation policy for
|
|
logical volumes. It's only possible to change a non-contiguous
|
|
logical volume's allocation policy to contiguous, if all of the
|
|
allocated physical extents are already contiguous.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-detachprofile
|
|
Detach any configuration profiles attached to given Logical Volumes.
|
|
See also \fBlvm\fP(8) and \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) for more
|
|
information about configuration profiles.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-discards " {" \fIignore | \fInopassdown | \fIpassdown }
|
|
Set this to \fIignore\fP to ignore any discards received by a
|
|
thin pool Logical Volume. Set to \fInopassdown\fP to process such
|
|
discards within the thin pool itself and allow the no-longer-needed
|
|
extents to be overwritten by new data. Set to \fIpassdown\fP (the
|
|
default) to process them both within the thin pool itself and to
|
|
pass them down the underlying device.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-resync
|
|
Forces the complete resynchronization of a mirror. In normal
|
|
circumstances you should not need this option because synchronization
|
|
happens automatically. Data is read from the primary mirror device
|
|
and copied to the others, so this can take a considerable amount of
|
|
time - and during this time you are without a complete redundant copy
|
|
of your data.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-minor \fIminor
|
|
Set the minor number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-monitor " {" \fIy | \fIn }
|
|
Start or stop monitoring a mirrored or snapshot logical volume with
|
|
dmeventd, if it is installed.
|
|
If a device used by a monitored mirror reports an I/O error,
|
|
the failure is handled according to
|
|
\fBmirror_image_fault_policy\fP and \fBmirror_log_fault_policy\fP
|
|
set in \fBlvm.conf\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-poll " {" \fIy | \fIn }
|
|
Without polling a logical volume's backgrounded transformation process
|
|
will never complete. If there is an incomplete pvmove or lvconvert (for
|
|
example, on rebooting after a crash), use \fB\-\-poll y\fP to restart the
|
|
process from its last checkpoint. However, it may not be appropriate to
|
|
immediately poll a logical volume when it is activated, use
|
|
\fB\-\-poll n\fP to defer and then \fB\-\-poll y\fP to restart the process.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.IR \fB\-\-maxrecoveryrate " " \fIRate [ bBsSkKmMgG ]
|
|
Sets the maximum recovery rate for a RAID logical volume. \fIRate\fP
|
|
is specified as a size/sec/device. If no suffix is given, then
|
|
kiB/sec/device is assumed. Setting the recovery rate to 0 means
|
|
it will be unbounded.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.IR \fB\-\-minrecoveryrate " " \fIRate [ bBsSkKmMgG ]
|
|
Sets the minimum recovery rate for a RAID logical volume. \fIRate\fP
|
|
is specified as a size/sec/device. If no suffix is given, then
|
|
kiB/sec/device is assumed. Setting the recovery rate to 0 means
|
|
it will be unbounded.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-syncaction " {" \fIcheck | \fIrepair }
|
|
This argument is used to initiate various RAID synchronization operations.
|
|
The \fIcheck\fP and \fIrepair\fP options provide a way to check the
|
|
integrity of a RAID logical volume (often referred to as "scrubbing").
|
|
These options cause the RAID logical volume to
|
|
read all of the data and parity blocks in the array and check for any
|
|
discrepancies (e.g. mismatches between mirrors or incorrect parity values).
|
|
If \fIcheck\fP is used, the discrepancies will be counted but not repaired.
|
|
If \fIrepair\fP is used, the discrepancies will be corrected as they are
|
|
encountered. The 'lvs' command can be used to show the number of
|
|
discrepancies found or repaired.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-sysinit
|
|
Indicates that \fBlvchange\fP(8) is being invoked from early system
|
|
initialisation scripts (e.g. rc.sysinit or an initrd),
|
|
before writeable filesystems are available. As such,
|
|
some functionality needs to be disabled and this option
|
|
acts as a shortcut which selects an appropriate set of options. Currently
|
|
this is equivalent to using \fB\-\-ignorelockingfailure\fP,
|
|
\fB\-\-ignoremonitoring\fP, \fB\-\-poll n\fP and setting
|
|
\fBLVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES\fP
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
If \fB\-\-sysinit\fP is used in conjunction with lvmetad(8) enabled and running,
|
|
autoactivation is preferred over manual activation via direct lvchange call.
|
|
Logical volumes are autoactivated according to auto_activation_volume_list
|
|
set in lvm.conf(5).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-noudevsync
|
|
Disable udev synchronisation. The
|
|
process will not wait for notification from udev.
|
|
It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing
|
|
in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running
|
|
or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-ignoremonitoring
|
|
Make no attempt to interact with dmeventd unless \fB\-\-monitor\fP
|
|
is specified.
|
|
Do not use this if dmeventd is already monitoring a device.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-M ", " \-\-persistent " {" \fIy | \fIn }
|
|
Set to y to make the minor number specified persistent.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-p ", " \-\-permission " {" \fIr | \fIrw }
|
|
Change access permission to read-only or read/write.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-r ", " \-\-readahead " {" \fIReadAheadSectors | \fIauto | \fInone }
|
|
Set read ahead sector count of this logical volume.
|
|
For volume groups with metadata in lvm1 format, this must
|
|
be a value between 2 and 120 sectors.
|
|
The default value is "auto" which allows the kernel to choose
|
|
a suitable value automatically.
|
|
"None" is equivalent to specifying zero.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-refresh
|
|
If the logical volume is active, reload its metadata.
|
|
This is not necessary in normal operation, but may be useful
|
|
if something has gone wrong or if you're doing clustering
|
|
manually without a clustered lock manager.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-writebehind " BehindCount"
|
|
Specify the maximum number of outstanding writes that are allowed to
|
|
devices in a RAID 1 logical volume that are marked as \fIwrite-mostly\fP.
|
|
Once this value is exceeded, writes become synchronous (i.e. all writes
|
|
to the constituent devices must complete before the array signals the
|
|
write has completed). Setting the value to zero clears the preference
|
|
and allows the system to choose the value arbitrarily.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-writemostly " PhysicalVolume[:{t|y|n}]"
|
|
Mark a device in a RAID1 logical volume as \fIwrite-mostly\fP. All reads
|
|
to these drives will be avoided unless absolutely necessary. This keeps
|
|
the number of I/Os to the drive to a minimum. The default behavior is to
|
|
set the write-mostly attribute for the specified physical volume in the
|
|
logical volume. It is possible to also remove the write-mostly flag by
|
|
appending a ":n" to the physical volume or to toggle the value by specifying
|
|
":t". The \fI--writemostly\fP argument can be specified more than one time
|
|
in a single command; making it possible to toggle the write-mostly attributes
|
|
for all the physical volumes in a logical volume at once.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-Z ", " \-\-zero " {" \fIy | \fIn }
|
|
Set zeroing mode for thin pool. Note: already provisioned blocks from pool
|
|
in non-zero mode are not cleared in unwritten parts when setting zero to
|
|
\fIy\fP.
|
