* Add a [--poll {y|n}] flag to vgchange and lvchange to control whetherMike Snitzer2010-01-051-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the background polldaemon is allowed to start. It can be used standalone or in conjunction with --refresh or --available y. Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly important for snapshot-merge of a root filesystem. Dracut will be updated to activate all LVs with: --poll n The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and have been deemed acceptable: 1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s) 2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y' Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
* Document --all option in man pages, cleanup {pv|vg|lv}{s|display} man pages.Dave Wysochanski2009-10-261-14/+14
| | | | | | | Option --all is only partially documented currently, so document in all commands. Also make {pv|vg|lv}{display|s} man pages consistent with help output. Remove ununsed 'disk_ARG' parameter. Leave --trustcache out of the man page output. Update --units argument to show all possible units.
* Add --pvmetadatacopies as a synonym for --metadatacopies in various commands.Dave Wysochanski2009-10-051-8/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis. In order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace --metadatacopies everywhere. We still allow --metadatacopies for pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands. Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies. Once we do that, we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies for vg commands). The latter option would likely just require a simple 'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym call. Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym. Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for the implicit pvcreate patches. Should apply cleanly on top of the implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series). NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as --metadatacopies is no longer accepted.
* Update help messages for vgextend / vgcreate to mention PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS.Dave Wysochanski2009-10-051-1/+3

* Add implicit pvcreate support to vgcreate and vgextend.Dave Wysochanski2009-10-051-2/+7
| | | | | | Adds implicit pvcreate support when calling vgcreate or vgextend with device paths that are not yet PVs. This changes the behavior of vgcreate and vgextend from failing with an error message to implicitly pvcreating.
* Add --noudevsync option for relevant LVM tools.Peter Rajnoha2009-08-041-20/+35

* Add --dataalignmentoffset to pvcreate to shift start of aligned data areaMike Snitzer2009-07-301-3/+4
| | | | | | | | Adds pe_align_offset to 'struct physical_volume'; is initialized with set_pe_align_offset(). After pe_start is established pe_align_offset is added to it. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

* Make --snapshot optional with lvcreate --virtualsize.Alasdair Kergon2009-05-271-4/+5

* Add sparse devices: lvcreate -s --virtualoriginsize (hidden zero origin).Alasdair Kergon2009-04-251-2/+4
| | | | | | | | Add lvs origin_size field. Fix linux configure --enable-debug to exclude -O2. Still a few rough edges, but hopefully usable now: lvcreate -s vg1 -L 100M --virtualoriginsize 1T
* Implement, test and document (first iteration of) lvconvert --repair.Petr Rockai2009-04-231-1/+3

* Enable use of cached metadata for pvs & pvdisplay.Milan Broz2009-04-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently PV commands, which performs full device scan, repeatly re-reads PVs and scans for all devices. This behaviour can lead to OOM for large VG. This patch allows using internal metadata cache for pvs & pvdisplay, so the commands scan the PVs only once. (We have to use VG_GLOBAL otherwise cache is invalidated on every VG unlock in process_single PV call.)
* Add --dataalignment to pvcreate to specify alignment of data area. (mbroz)Alasdair Kergon2009-02-221-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed. Intended behaviour of the code now: pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter. In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG. Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).

* This patch changes the arguments that specify the mirrorJonathan Earl Brassow2007-08-011-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | log type. Previously, we had a '--corelog' argument that would change the default type from 'disk' to 'core'. I think that creates too much confusion - especially when doing conversions on mirrors. The new argument '--log' takes either "disk" or "core" as a parameter. This could be expanded in the future for additional logging types as well. Examples: # Creating a 2-way mirror $> lvcreate -m1 ... # implicitly use default disk logging $> lvcreate -m1 --log disk ... # explicit disk logging $> lvcreate -m1 --log core ... # specify core logging $> lvcreate -m1 --corelog ... # old way still works # Conversion examples $> lvconvert --log core ... # convert to core logging $> lvconvert --log disk ... # convert to disk logging $> lvconvert -mX --corelog ... # old way still works $> lvconvert -mX ... # old way of converting to disk logging still works Changes are reflected in the man pages.
