lockd_init_lv() needs to be called later, after the
place where LV names are generated, because it requires
the LV name to be known.
|
| | |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
To handle this, a new LV lock needs to
be created for the newly split LV name.
|
| |
|
|
| |
It's helpful to see the command name being processed.

No arg means all vgs.

The steps are:
- lock the old LV name
- create a lock for the new LV name (creates new lock_args)
- lock the new LV name (only needed if the LV is active)
- set new lock_args in the LV
- rename the LV
- unlock the old LV name
- remove the lock for the old LV args (frees old lock_args)

lvm2-lvmlockd: start/stop the lvmlockd daemon.
lvm2-lvmlocking: start/stop lockspaces for lockd VGs,
and activate/deactivate LVs in those VGs after/before
the lockspaces have started/stopped.
Starting/joining the VG lockspaces can take quite a while,
and require the lock manager used by the VGs to be running.
|
| |
|
|
|
|

lvmlockd keeps track of local vgs so that it can
quickly determine if a vg lock request can be
ignored (for a local vg) or is needed (for a lockd vg).

Adds options to use with --lock-start,
--lock-opt wait|auto|autowait
wait: wait for the start to finish
auto: use when the system is running the command
autowait: both auto and wait
The auto option enables the use of lvm.conf activation_lock_start_list
which defines VG's that should be automatically started by the system.
This is similar to the auto_activation_volume_list used when the system
automatically activates LV's.

When lvm is using clvm, the following are possible:
- change lock type from none to clvm
- change lock type from clvm to none
When lvm is using lvmlockd, the following are possible:
- change lock type from none to clvm (with warning)
- change lock type from clvm to none
- change lock type from none to a lockd type (sanlock|dlm)
- change lock type from clvm to a lockd type (sanlock|dlm)
- change lock type from lockd type to none (TODO)
- change lock type from lockd type to clvm (TODO)
The TODO variations are still missing the steps to
undo/reverse the existing lockd type, so are currently
disabled.
A special 'vgchange --lock-type none --force' can be used
to forcibly clear all locking settings from the VG metadata,
skipping any steps that would normally be done to cleanly
undo/reverse the existing lock type.

An lv lock is a simple ex/sh lock that is:
- acquired before the LV is activated
- released after the LV is deactivated
If the lock cannot be acquired, the LV is not activated.
Unlike gl and vg locks, lv locks are persistent; they
remain after a command acquiring them ends. They are
held by the lvmlockd process. lvmlockd uses persistent
locks in the lock manager so if lvmlockd exits, the
lv locks are not dropped, and the LVs remain protected.
The lvchange/vgchange -a option gains a new "s" arg to
represent shared locks ("e" already means exclusive):
-aey = activate using an ex lock
-asy = activate using a sh lock
An unspecified activation mode, e.g. -ay, defaults to the
ex mode in lvmlockd VGs.
If one host has an LV activated with an ex lock, any other
host that attempts to activate the LV (in any mode) will
fail to acquire the lock and will report the error. If
a host has an LV activated with a sh lock, any other host
can also activate that LV with a sh lock, but any attempt
to activate the LV with an ex lock will fail.
Commands that modify an LV (as opposed to changing the
activation state) also use lv locks. These are lvconvert
and other variations of lvchange. When the LV is already
active (and locked), the lock requests do nothing, but if
the LV is not active, these commands acquire the LV lock
prior to changing the LV. If the LV is active and locked
on another host, the lvchange/lvconvert command will fail
when the LV lock request fails.
Removing an LV with lvremove must also acquire the lv lock
prior to removing the LV. If the LV is active and locked
on another host, lvremove will fail.
A thin pool LV has an lv lock that applies to all usage of
that pool. Thin LVs do not have individual LV locks.
A cache pool LV does not have an independent lv lock. When the
cache pool LV is linked to an origin LV, the lock of the origin
LV will protect the combined origin + cache pool.

The VG lock is a simple read/write lock that protects a VG's
metadata. The VG lock is used in shared mode to read the VG
and in exclusive mode to modify the VG.
The function to acquire/release the VG lock is lockd_vg():
. To acquire the vg lock in ex mode for writing:
lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "ex", 0);
. To acquire the vg lock in sh mode for reading:
lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "sh", 0);
. To release the vg lock:
lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "un", 0);
The lockd_vg() function sends a message to lvmlockd, asking for
the lock in the specified mode. lvmlockd acquires the lock from
the underlying lock manager, and sends the result back to the command.
When the command exits, or calls lockd_vg("un"), lvmlockd releases
the lock in the underlying lock manager.
When lvm is compiled without lvmlockd support, all the lockd_vg calls
simply compile to success (1).
Using the vg lock in commands is simple:
. A command that wants to read the VG should acquire the vg lock
in the sh mode, then read the VG:
lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "sh", 0);
vg = vg_read(cmd, vg_name);
lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "un", 0);
. A command that wants to write the VG should acquire the vg lock
in the ex mode, then make changes to the VG and write it:
lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "ex", 0);
vg = vg_read(cmd, vg_name);
...
vg_write(vg);
vg_commit(vg);
lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "un", 0);
When a command processes multiple VGs, e.g. using toollib process_each,
then VG lock should be explicitly unlocked when the command is done
processing the VG, i.e. lockd_vg(cmd, vg_name, "un", 0) as shown above.
When a command processes a single VG or pair of VGs, then the command can
simply exit and lvmlockd will automatically unlock the VG lock(s) that the
command had acquired.
Locking conflicts:
When a command calls lockd_vg(), the lock request is passed to lvmlockd.
lvmlockd makes the corresponding lock request in the lock manager using a
non-blocking request. If another command on another host holds the vg
lock in a conflicting mode, the lock request fails, and lvmlockd returns
the failure to the command. The command reports the lock conflict and
fails.
A future option may enable lvmlockd to automatically retry lock requests
that fail due to conflicts with locks of commands running concurrently on
other hosts. (These retries could be disabled or limited to a certain
number via a command or config option.) This way, simple, transient
locking conflicts between commands on different hosts would be hidden.
Caching:
lvmlockd uses the lvb in the VG lock to hold the VG seqno. When a command
writes VG metadata with a new seqno (under an ex lock), it sends lvmlockd
the new VG seqno by calling lockd_vg_update(vg). When lvmlockd unlocks
the ex VG lock, it saves this new seqno in the vg lock's lvb. When other
hosts next acquire the VG lock, they will read the lvb, see the new seqno
is higher than the last seqno they saw, and know that their cached copy of
the VG is stale. When lvmlockd sees this, it invalidates the cached copy
of the VG in lvmetad. When a command then reads the VG from lvmetad, it
will see that it's stale, will reread the latest VG from disk, and update
the cached copy in lvmetad.
These commands do not yet work with lvmlockd lock_types (sanlock|dlm):
. vgsplit
. vgmerge
. vgrename
. lvrename

The global lock (gl) is a simple read/write lock that protects
global lvm metadata, i.e. metadata or information that is not
isolated to a single VG. This global information includes:
A) The VG name space.
B) PVs or devices that do not belong to a VG.
The function to acquire/release the global lock is lockd_gl():
. To acquire the gl in exclusive mode for writing/changing A or B:
lockd_gl(cmd, "ex", 0);
. To acquire the gl in shared mode for reading/listing A or B:
lockd_gl(cmd, "sh", 0);
. To release the gl:
lockd_gl(cmd, "un", 0);
The lockd_gl() function sends a message to lvmlockd, asking for
the lock in the specified mode. lvmlockd acquires the lock from
the underlying lock manager, and sends the result back to the command.
When the command exits, or calls lockd_gl("un"), lvmlockd releases
the lock in the underlying lock manager.
When lvm is compiled without lvmlockd support, all the lockd_gl() calls
simply compile to success (1).
Using the global lock in commands is simple:
. A command that wants to get an accurate list of all VG names
should acquire the gl in the sh mode, then read the list.
. A command that wants to add or remove a VG name should acquire
the gl in the ex mode, then add/remove the name.
. A command that wants to get an accurate list of all PVs/devices
should acquire the gl in the sh mode, then read the list.
. A command that wants to change a device to/from a PV or add/remove
a PV to/from a VG should acquire the gl in the ex mode, then make
the change.
. A command that wants to read the properties of an orphan PV
should acquire the gl in the sh mode, then read the properties.
. A command that wants to change the properties of an orphan PV
should acquire the gl in the ex mode, then change the properties.
. The gl is acquired at the start of a command before any processing.
This is necessary so that the cached information used by the command
is valid and up to date (see caching below).
. A command generally knows at the outset which of the things above
it is going to do, so it knows which lock mode to acquire.
. If a command is given a tag, the tag matching requires a complete
and accurate search of all VGs, and therefore implies that the global
shared lock is needed.
Locking conflicts:
When a command calls lockd_gl(), the lock request is passed to lvmlockd.
lvmlockd makes the corresponding lock request in the lock manager using a
non-blocking request. If another command on another host holds the gl in
a conflicting mode, the lock request fails, and lvmlockd returns the
failure to the command. The command reports the lock conflict and fails.
If a reporting command (sh lock), conflicts with another command using an
ex lock (like vgextend), then the reporting command can simply be rerun.
A future option may enable retrying sh lock requests within lvmlockd,
making simple, incidental conflicts invisible. (These retries could be
disabled or limited to a certain number via a command or config option.)
If a command is changing global state (using an ex lock), the conflict
could be with another sh lock (e.g. reporting command) or another ex lock
(another command changing global state.) The lock manager does not say
which type of conflict it was. In the case of ex/sh conflict, a retry of
the ex request could be automatic, but an ex/ex conflict would generally
want inspection before retrying. Uncoordinated commands concurrently
changing the same global state would be uncommon, and a warning of the
conflict with failure is probably preferred, so the state can be
inspected. Still, the same retry options as above could be applied if
needed.
Caching:
In addition to ex/sh mutual exclusion, the lock manager allows an
application to stash a chunk of its own data within a lock. This chunk of
data is called the "lock value block" (lvb). This opaque data does not
affect the locking behavior, but offers a convenient way for applications
to pass around extra information related to the lock. The lvb can be read
and written by any host using the lock (the application can read the lvb
content when acquiring the lock, and write it when releasing an ex lock.)
(The dlm lvb is only 32 bytes. The sanlock lvb is up to 512 bytes.)
An application can use the lvb for anything it wishes, and it's often used
to help manage the cache associated with the lock. lvmlockd stores a
counter/version number in the lvb. It's incremented when anything
protected by the gl (A or B above) is changed. When other hosts see the
version number has increased, they know that A or B have changed.
lvmlockd refines this further by using a second version number that is
incremented only when the VG namespace (A) changes. The lockd_gl() flag
UPDATE_NAMES tells lvmlockd that the VG namespace is being changed.
When lvmlockd acquires the gl and sees that the counters in the lvb have
been incremented, it knows that the objects protected by the gl have been
changed by another host. This implies that the local host's cache of this
global information is likely out of date, and needs to be refreshed from
disk. When this happens, lvmlockd sends a message to lvmetad to
invalidate the cached global information in lvmetad. When a command sees
that the data from lvmetad is stale, it reads from disk and updates
lvmetad.
All users of the global lock want to use valid information from lvmetad,
so they always check that the lvmetad cache is valid before using it, and
refresh it if needed. This check and refresh is done by
lvmetad_validate_global_cache(). Instead of always calling
lockd_gl()+lvmetad_validate_global_cache() back to back, lockd_gl() calls
lvmetad_validate_global_cache() as the final step before returning.
In the future, more optimizations can be made related to global cache
updating. Similar to the UPDATE_NAMES method, commands can tell lvmlockd
more details about what they are chaning under the global lock. lvmlockd
can propagate these details to others using the gl lvb. Knowing these
details, other hosts can limit their rescanning to only what's necessary
given the specific changes.
vgcreate with sanlock:
With the sanlock lock_type, the sanlock locks are stored on disk, on a
hidden LV within the VG. The first sanlock VG created will hold the
global lock. Creating the first sanlock VG is a special case because no
global lock will exist until after the VG is created on disk. vgcreate
calls lockd_gl_create() to handle this special case. The comments in that
function explain the details of how it works.
command gl requirements:
Some commands are listed twice if they have two different
behaviors (depending on args) that need different gl usage.
As listed above (in A,B), the reasons for using the gl are:
A) reading or changing the VG name space
B) reading or changing PV orphans
(orphan properties or assignment to VGs)
command: gl mode used, reason(s) gl is needed
vgsplit: ex, add vg name
vgrename: ex, add vg name
vgcreate: ex, add vg name, rem pv orphan
vgremove: ex, rem vg name, add pv orphan
vgmerge: ex, rem vg name
vgextend: ex, rem pv orphan
vgreduce: ex, add pv orphan
vgscan: sh, get vg names
vgs: sh, get vg names (only if tags used or no args)
vgchange: sh, get vg names (only if tags used or no args)
vgchange: ex, change vg system_id/uuid/lock_type (equivalent to name)
pvcreate: ex, add pv orphan
pvremove: ex, rem pv orphan
pvdisplay: sh, get vg names
pvscan: sh, get vg names
pvresize: sh, get vg names
pvresize: ex, change pv orphan (only if pv is an orphan)
pvchange: sh, get vg names
pvchange: ex, change pv orphan (only if pv is an orphan)
lvchange: sh, get vg names (only if tags used)
lvscan: sh, get vg names

A lock manager requires an application to "start" or "join"
a lockspace before using locks from it. Start is the point
at which the lock manager on a host begins interacting with
other hosts to coordinate access to locks in the lockspace.
Similarly, an application needs to "stop" or "leave" a
lockspace when it's done using locks from the lockspace so
the lock manager can shut down and clean up the lockspace.
lvmlockd uses a lockspace for each sanlock|dlm VG, and the
lockspace for each VG needs to be started before lvm can use
it. These commands tell lvmlockd to start or stop the
lockspace for a VG:
vgchange --lock-start vg_name
vgchange --lock-stop vg_name
To start the lockspace for a VG, lvmlockd needs to know which
lock manager (sanlock or dlm) to use, and this is stored in the
VG metadata as lock_type = "sanlock|dlm", along with data that
is specific to the lock manager for the VG, saved as lock_args.
For sanlock, lock_args is the location of the locks on disk.
For dlm, lock_args is the name of the cluster the dlm should use.
So, the process for starting a VG includes:
- Reading the VG without a lock (no lock can be acquired
because the lockspace is not started).
- Taking the lock_type and lock_args strings from the
VG metadata.
- Asking lvmlockd to start the VG lockspace, providing
the lock_type and lock_args strings which tell lvmlockd
exactly which lock manager is needed.
- lvmlockd will ask the specific lock manager to join the
lockspace.
The VG read in the first step, without a lock, is not used for
for anything except getting the lock information needed to start
the lockspace. Subsequent use of the VG would use the VG lock.
In the case of a sanlock VG, there is an additional step in the
sequence. Between the second and third steps, the vgchange
lock-start command needs to activate the internal LV in the VG
that holds the sanlock locks. This LV must be active before
sanlock can join the lockspace.
Starting and stopping VG's would typically be done automatically
by the system, similar to the way LV's are automatically activated
by the system. But, it is always possible to directly start/stop VG
lockspaces, as it is always possible to directly activate/deactivate
LVs. Automatic VG start/stop will be added by a later patch, using
the basic functionality from this patch.

vgcreate calls lockd_init_vg() to do any create/initialize
steps that are needed in lvmlockd for the given lock_type.
vgcreate calls lockd_free_vg_before() to do any removal/freeing
steps that are needed in lvmlockd for the given lock_type
before the VG is removed on disk.
vgcreate calls lockd_free_vg_final() to do any removal/freeing
steps that are needed in lvmlockd for the given lock_type
after the VG is removed on disk.
When the lock_type is sanlock, the init/free also include
lvm client side steps to create/remove an internal LV on
which sanlock will store the locks for the VG.

The locking required to access a VG is a property of the VG,
and is specified in the VG metadata as the "lock_type".
When lvm sees a VG, it looks at the VG's lock_type to determine
if locks are needed and from where:
- If the VG has no lock_type, or lock_type "none", then no locks
are needed.
This a "local VG". If the VG is visible to multiple hosts,
the VG system_id provides basic protection. A VG with an
unmatching system_id is inaccessible.
- If the VG has lock_type "sanlock" or "dlm", then locks
are needed from lvmlockd, which acquires locks from either
sanlock or dlm respectively.
This is a "lockd VG". If lvmlockd or the supporting lock
manager are not running, then the lockd VG is inaccessible.
- If the VG has the CLUSTERED status flag (or lock_type "clvm"),
then locks are needed from clvmd.
This is a "clvm VG". If clvmd or the supporting clustering or
locking are not running, then the clvm VG is inaccessible.
Settings in lvm.conf tell lvm commands which locking daemon to use:
- global/use_lvmlockd=1: tells lvm to use lvmlockd when accessing
VGs with lock_type sanlock|dlm.
- global/locking_type=3: tells lvm to use clvmd when accessing
VGs with CLUSTERED flag (or lock_type clvm).
LVM commands cannot use both lvmlockd and clvmd at the same time:
- use_lvmlockd=1 should be combined with locking_type=1
- locking_type=3 (clvmd) should be combined with use_lvmlockd=0
So, different configurations allow access to different VG's:
- When configured to use lvmlockd, lvm commands can access VG's
with lock_type sanlock|dlm, and VG's with CLUSTERED are ignored.
- When configured to use clvmd (locking_type 3), lvm commands
can access VG's with the CLUSTERED flag, and VG's with
lock_type sanlock|dlm are ignored.
- When configured to use neither lvmlockd nor clvmd, lvm commands
can access only local VG's. lvm will ignore VG's with lock_type
sanlock|dlm, and will ignore VG's with CLUSTERED (or lock_type clvm).
A VG is created with a specific lock_type:
- vgcreate --lock_type <arg> is a new syntax that can specify the
lock_type directly. <arg> may be: none, clvm, sanlock, dlm.
sanlock|dlm require lvmlockd to be configured (in lvm.conf) and running.
clvm requires clvmd to be configured (in lvm.conf) and running.
- vgcreate --clustered y (or -cy) is the old syntax that still works,
but it is not preferred because the lock_type is not explicit.
When clvmd is configured, -cy creates a VG with lock_type clvm.
When lvmlockd is configured, -cy creates a VG with lock_type sanlock,
but this can be changed to dlm with lvm.conf vgcreate_cy_lock_type.
Notes:
In the VG metadata, the lock_type string is accompanied by
a lock_args string. The lock_args string is lock-manager-specific
data associated with the VG. For sanlock, the location on disk
of the locks, or for dlm, the cluster name.
In a VG with lock_type sanlock|dlm, each LV also has a lock_type
and lock_args in the metadata. The LV lock_type currently always
matches the lock_type of the VG. For sanlock, the LV lock_args
specify the disk location of the LV lock.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
lock_type and lock_args are used in VG and LV structures
and in text format.

and update the lvmetad copy after it is reread from disk.
To test this:
- Create VG foo that is visible to two hosts and usable by both.
- On both run 'lvmeta vg_lookup_name foo' to see the cached copy of
foo and its seqno. Say the seqno is 8.
- On host1 run 'lvcreate -n lv1 -L1G foo'.
- On host1 run 'lvmeta vg_lookup_name foo' to see the new version
of foo in lvmetad. It should have seqno 9.
- On host2 run 'lvmeta vg_lookup_name foo' to see the old cached
version of foo. It should have seqno 8.
- On host2 run 'lvmeta set_vg_version <uuid of foo> 9'.
- On host2 run 'lvmeta vg_lookup_name foo' to see that the vg_invalid
config node is reported along with the old cached version of foo.
- On host2 run 'lvs foo'. It should reread foo from disk and display lv1.
- On host2 run 'lvmeta vg_lookup_name foo' to see that the cached version
of foo is now updated to seqno 9, and the vg_invalid node is not reported.

Add the ability to invalidate global or individual VG metadata.
The invalid state is returned to lvm commands along with the metadata.
This allows lvm commands to detect stale metadata from the cache and
reread the latest metadata from disk (in a subsequent patch.)
These changes do not change the protocol or compatibility between
lvm commands and lvmetad.
Global information
------------------
Global information refers to metadata that is not isolated
to a single VG , e.g. the list of vg names, or the list of pvs.
When an external system, e.g. a locking system, detects that global
information has been changed from another host (e.g. a new vg has been
created) it sends lvmetad the message: set_global_info: global_invalid=1.
lvmetad sets the global invalid flag to indicate that its cached data is
stale.
When lvm commands request information from lvmetad, lvmetad returns the
cached information, along with an additional top-level config node called
"global_invalid". This new info tells the lvm command that the cached
information is stale.
When an lvm command sees global_invalid from lvmated, it knows it should
rescan devices and update lvmetad with the latest information. When this
is complete, it sends lvmetad the message: set_global_info:
global_invalid=0, and lvmetad clears the global invalid flag. Further lvm
commands will use the lvmetad cache until it is invalidated again.
The most common commands that cause global invalidation are vgcreate and
vgextend. These are uncommon compared to commands that report global
information, e.g. vgs. So, the percentage of lvmetad replies containing
global_invalid should be very small.
VG information
--------------
VG information refers to metadata that is isolated to a single VG,
e.g. an LV or the size of an LV.
When an external system determines that VG information has been changed
from another host (e.g. an lvcreate or lvresize), it sends lvmetad the
message: set_vg_info: uuid=X version=N. X is the VG uuid, and N is the
latest VG seqno that was written. lvmetad checks the seqno of its cached
VG, and if the version from the message is newer, it sets an invalid flag
for the cached VG. The invalid flag, along with the newer seqno are saved
in a new vg_info struct.
When lvm commands request VG metadata from lvmetad, lvmetad includes the
invalid flag along with the VG metadata. The lvm command checks for this
flag, and rereads the VG from disk if set. The VG read from disk is sent
to lvmetad. lvmetad sees that the seqno in the new version matches the
seqno from the last set_vg_info message, and clears the vg invalid flag.
Further lvm commands will use the VG metadata from lvmetad until it is
next invalidated.

about losing access to a VG if lvm is downgraded
to an earlier version.

Munge the WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED flags in a temp variable
instead of in the vg/lv fields.
|
| |
|
|
|

The system_id and lock_type compat changes do not apply
to the lvm1 code.

Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written. So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only. This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id. For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.
A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set. A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.
Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting. Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type. Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.
When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag. This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.

This reverts commit bfbb5d269aa1ed56d9308117b57d4d2da49d53f6.
This will be done differently.

snapshots and mirrors
The seg_monitor did not display monitored status for thick snapshots
and mirrors (with mirror log *not* mirrored). The seg monitor did work
correctly even before for other segtypes - thins and raids.
Before (mirrors and snapshots, only mirrors with mirrored log properly displayed monitoring status):

flag, default value is always used for such setting, no matter if it's defined
by user (in --config/lvm.conf/lvmlocal.conf).
A warning message is displayed if this happens:
For example:

Though vgremove operates per VG by definition, internally, it
actually means iterating over each LV it contains to do the
remove.
So we need to direct selection a bit in this case so that the
selection is done per-VG, not per-LV.
That means, use processing handle with void_handle.internal_report_for_select=0
for the process_each_lv_in_vg that is called later in vgremove_single fn.
We need to disable internal selection for process_each_lv_in_vg
here as selection is already done by process_each_vg which calls
vgremove_single. Otherwise selection would be done per-LV and not
per-VG as we intend!

Set ACCESS_NEEDS_SYSTEM_ID VG status flag whenever there is
a non-lvm1 system_id set. Prevents concurrent access from
older LVM2 versions.
Not set on VGs that bear a system_id only due to conversion
from lvm1 metadata.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Use system_id field in preference to lvm1_system_id.
Initialise both for now.
|
| |
|
|
| |
(This system_id setting code shouldn't be in two places.)
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Export _lvm1_system_id as generate_lvm1_system_id and call it in
vg_setup() so it is set before writing the metadata to disk
and not missing from the initial metadata backup file.
|

|
|

format_text processes both lvm2 on-disk metadata and metadata read
from other sources such as backup files. Add original_fmt field
to retain the format type of the original metadata.
Before this patch, /etc/lvm/archives would contain backups of
lvm1 metadata with format = "lvm2" unless the source was lvm1 on-disk
metadata.
|

|
|
|
| |
The check for matching system_id needs to check
that the system_id is not blank.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Apply the same logic as lvchange, which allows
deactivating LVs in a foreign VG.

The vg->lvm1_systemd_id needs to be initialized as all the code around
counts with that. Just like we initialize lvm1_system_id in vg_create
(no matter if it's actually LVM1 or LVM2 format), this patch adds this
init in alloc_vg as well so the rest of the code does not segfaul
when trying to access vg->lvm1_system_id.

In log messages refer to it as system ID (not System ID).
Do not put quotes around the system_id string when printing.
On the command line use systemid.
In code, metadata, and config files use system_id.
In lvmsystemid refer to the concept/entity as system_id.
