Let's say we have an LV, made up of three segments of different PV's,
|
|
I've also added in the device major:minor as this will be useful
|
|
later:
|
|
|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
| PV1 | PV2 | PV3 | 254:3
|
|
+----------+---------+--------+
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now our hero decides to PV move PV2 to PV4:
|
|
|
|
1. Suspend our LV (254:3), this starts queueing all io, and flushes
|
|
all pending io. Once the suspend has completed we are free to change
|
|
the mapping table.
|
|
|
|
2. Set up *another* (254:4) device with the mapping table of our LV.
|
|
|
|
3. Load a new mapping table into (254:3) that has identity targets for
|
|
parts that aren't moving, and a mirror target for parts that are.
|
|
|
|
4. Unsuspend (254:3)
|
|
|
|
So now we have:
|
|
destination of copy
|
|
+--------------------->--------------+
|
|
| |
|
|
+-----------------------------+ + -----------+
|
|
| Identity | mirror | Ident. | 254:3 | PV4 |
|
|
+----------+---------+--------+ +------------+

|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
| PV1 | PV2 | PV3 | 254:4
|
|
+----------+---------+--------+
|
|
|
|
Any writes to segment2 of the LV get intercepted by the mirror target
|
|
who checks that that chunk has been copied to the new destination, if
|
|
it hasn't it queues the initial copy and defers the current io until
|
|
it has finished. Then the current io is written to *both* PV2 and the
|
|
PV4.
|
|
|
|
5. When the copying has completed 254:3 is suspended/pending flushed.
|
|
|
|
6. 254:4 is taken down
|
|
|
|
7. metadata is updated on disk
|
|
|
|
8. 254:3 has new mapping table loaded:
|
|
|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
| PV1 | PV4 | PV3 | 254:3
