This patch makes the keyword combinations found in "lv_layout" and
"lv_role" much more understandable - there were some ambiguities
for some of the combinations which lead to confusion before.
Now, the scheme used is:
LAYOUTS ("how the LV is laid out"):
===================================
[linear] (all segments have number of stripes = 1)
[striped] (all segments have number of stripes > 1)
[linear,striped] (mixed linear and striped)
raid (raid layout always reported together with raid level, raid layout == image + metadata LVs underneath that make up raid LV)
[raid,raid1]
[raid,raid10]
[raid,raid4]
[raid,raid5] (exact sublayout not specified during creation - default one used - raid5_ls)
[raid,raid5,raid5_ls]
[raid,raid5,raid6_rs]
[raid,raid5,raid5_la]
[raid,raid5,raid5_ra]
[raid6,raid] (exact sublayout not specified during creation - default one used - raid6_zr)
[raid,raid6,raid6_zr]
[raid,raid6,raid6_nc]
[raid,raid6,raid6_ns]
[mirror] (mirror layout == log + image LVs underneath that make up mirror LV)
thin (thin layout always reported together with sublayout)
[thin,sparse] (thin layout == allocated out of thin pool)
[thin,pool] (thin pool layout == data + metadata volumes underneath that make up thin pool LV, not supposed to be used for direct use!!!)
[cache] (cache layout == allocated out of cache pool in conjunction with cache origin)
[cache,pool] (cache pool layout == data + metadata volumes underneath that make up cache pool LV, not supposed to be used for direct use!!!)
[virtual] (virtual layout == not hitting disk underneath, currently this layout denotes only 'zero' device used for origin,thickorigin role)
[unknown] (either error state or missing recognition for such layout)
ROLES ("what's the purpose or use of the LV - what is its role"):
=================================================================
- each LV has either of these two roles at least: [public] (public LV that users may use freely to write their data to)
[public] (public LV that users may use freely to write their data to)
[private] (private LV that LVM maintains; not supposed to be directly used by user to write his data to)
- and then some special-purpose roles in addition to that:
[origin,thickorigin] (origin for thick-style snapshot; "thick" as opposed to "thin")
[origin,multithickorigin] (there are more than 2 thick-style snapshots for this origin)
[origin,thinorigin] (origin for thin snapshot)
[origin,multithinorigin] (there are more than 2 thin snapshots for this origin)
[origin,extorigin] (external origin for thin snapshot)
[origin,multiextoriginl (there are more than 2 thin snapshots using this external origin)
[origin,cacheorigin] (cache origin)
[snapshot,thicksnapshot] (thick-style snapshot; "thick" as opposed to "thin")
[snapshot,thinsnapshot] (thin-style snapshot)
[raid,metadata] (raid metadata LV)
[raid,image] (raid image LV)
[mirror,image] (mirror image LV)
[mirror,log] (mirror log LV)
[pvmove] (pvmove LV)
[thin,pool,data] (thin pool data LV)
[thin,pool,metadata] (thin pool metadata LV)
[cache,pool,data] (cache pool data LV)
[cache,pool,metadata] (cache pool metadata LV)
[pool,spare] (pool spare LV - common role of LV that makes it used for both thin and cache repairs)
