* man: update lvmcache cache settingZdenek Kabelac2023-02-131-4/+24
| | | | | | Correct setting of migration_threshold and add clarify how the user can restore default cache settings for cache policies. Also document mq aliasing with smq for newer kernels.
* pvscan: use alternate device names from DEVLINKS to check filterDavid Teigland2023-01-311-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | pvscan --cache <dev> is called by our udev rule at a time when all the symlinks for <dev> may not be created yet (by other udev rules.) The regex filter in lvm.conf may refer to <dev> using a symlink name that hasn't yet been created, which would cause <dev> to not match the filter regex. The DEVLINKS env var, set by udev, contains all the symlink names for <dev> that have been or will be created. So, we add all these symlink names to dev->aliases, as if we had found them in /dev. This allows <dev> to be recognized by a regex filter containing a symlink for <dev>.

* report: adjust lv_active_remotely for shared VGscorubba2022-11-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a note to the manpage that lvmlockd is unable to determine accurately and without side-effects whether a LV is remotely active. Also change the value of the lv_active_remotely option from false to undefined for shared VGs to distinctly communicate that inability to users. Only for local VGs it can be definitely stated that they are not remotely active. Signed-off-by: corubba <corubba@gmx.de>

* lvmconfig: add --valuesonly optionPeter Rajnoha2022-08-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new --valuesonly option causes the lvmconfig output to contain only values without keys for each config node. This is practical mainly in case where we use lvmconfig in scripts and we want to assign the value to a different custom key or simply output the value itself without the key. For example: # lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy raid_fault_policy="warn" # lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly "warn" # my_var=$(lvmconfig --type full activation/raid_fault_policy --valuesonly) # echo $my_var "warn"
* report: report numeric values (not string synonyms) for NUM and BIN fields ↵Peter Rajnoha2022-08-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | with json_std format Internally, NUM and BIN fields are marked as DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_NUM_NUMBER through libdevmapper API. The new 'json_std' format mandates that the report string representing such a value must be a number, not an arbitrary string. This is because numeric values in 'json_std' format do not have double quotes around them. This practically means, we can't use string synonyms ("named reserved values") for such values and the report string must always represent a proper number. With 'json' and 'basic' formats, this is not an issue because 'basic' format doesn't have any structure or typing at all and 'json' format puts all values in quotes, including numeric ones.

* remove static autoactivationDavid Teigland2022-01-275-106/+15
| | | | | | | | | event based autoactivation is now the only method that lvm provides for autoactivation. Setting lvm.conf event_activation=0 can still be used to disable event based autoactivation commands, but doing so will no longer enable static autoactivation.

* system_id: new appmachineid optionDavid Teigland2021-10-071-0/+17
| | | | | | | The new system_id_source="appmachineid" will cause lvm to use an lvm-specific derivation of the machine-id, instead of the machine-id directly. This is now recommended in place of using machineid.

* vdo: add vdoimport supportZdenek Kabelac2021-07-091-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add tool 'vdoimport' to support easy conversion of an existing VDO manager managed VDO volumes into lvm2 managed VDO LV. When physical converted volume is already a logical volume, conversion happens with the VG itself, just with validation for extent_size, so the virtually sized logical VDO volume size can be expressed in extents. Example of basic simple usage: vdoimport --name vg/vdolv /dev/mapper/vdophysicalvolume

* lvmdevices: add deviceidtype optionDavid Teigland2021-06-111-14/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | When adding a device to the devices file with --adddev, lvm by default chooses the best device ID type for the new device. The new --deviceidtype option allows the user to override the built in preference. This is useful if there's a problem with the default type, or if a secondary type is preferrable. If the specified deviceidtype does not produce a device ID, then lvm falls back to the preference it would otherwise use.
