463 | ========================= | |
464 | Some bug fixes & minor enhancements, including: | |
465 | Backwards compatibility with LVM1 metadata improved. | |
466 | Missing man pages written. | |
467 | Tool error codes made more consistent. | |
468 | vgmknodes written. | |
469 | O_DIRECT can be turned off if it doesn't work in your kernel. | |
b2bb7264 | 470 | dumpconfig to display the active configuration file |
f74d51d9 AK |
471 | |
472 | You need to update libdevmapper before using 'vgmknodes' or 'vgscan --mknodes'. | |
473 | If your root filesystem is on an LV, you should run one of those two | |
474 | commands to fix up the special files in /dev in your real root filesystem | |
475 | after finishing with your initrd. Also, remember you can use | |
476 | 'vgchange --ignorelockingfailure' on your initrd if the tool fails because | |
477 | it can't write a lock file to a read-only filesystem. | |
478 | ||
541f8753 AK |
479 | Wednesday 30th April 2003 |
480 | ========================= | |
481 | A pvmove implementation is now available for the new metadata format. | |
482 | ||
483 | When running a command that allocates space (e.g. lvcreate), you can now | |
484 | restrict not only which disk(s) may be used but also the Physical Extents | |
485 | on those disks. e.g. lvcreate -L 10 vg1 /dev/hda6:1000-2000:3000-4000 | |
486 | ||
487 | ||
488 | Monday 18th November 2002 | |
5a52dca9 AK |
489 | ======================== |
490 | ||
491 | The new format of LVM metadata is ready for you to test! | |
492 | We expect it to be more efficient and more robust than the original format. | |
493 | It's more compact and supports transactional changes and replication. | |
494 | Should things go wrong on a system, it's human-readable (and editable). | |
495 | ||
496 | Please report any problems you find to the mailing list, | |
497 | linux-lvm@sistina.com. The software has NOT yet been thoroughly | |
498 | tested and so quite possibly there'll still be some bugs in it. | |
499 | Be aware of the disclaimer in the COPYING file. | |
500 | ||
501 | While testing, we recommend turning logging on in the configuration file | |
502 | to provide us with diagnostic information: | |
503 | log { | |
504 | file="/tmp/lvm2.log" | |
541f8753 | 505 | level=7 |
5518374b | 506 | activation=1 |
5a52dca9 AK |
507 | } |
508 | ||
509 | You should schedule regular backups of your configuration file and | |
510 | metadata backups and archives (normally kept under /etc/lvm). | |
511 | ||
512 | Please read docs/example.conf and "man lvm.conf" to find out more about | |
513 | the configuration file. | |
514 | ||
515 | To convert an existing volume group called vg1 to the new format using | |
516 | the default settings, use "vgconvert -M2 vg1". See "man vgconvert". | |
517 | ||
518 | -M (or --metadatatype in its long form) is a new flag to indicate which | |
519 | format of metadata the command should use for anything it creates. | |
520 | Currently, the valid types are "lvm1" and "lvm2" and they can be | |
521 | abbreviated to "1" and "2" respectively. The default value for this | |
522 | flag can be changed in the global section in the config file. | |
523 | ||
524 | Backwards-compatible support for the original LVM1 metadata format is | |
525 | maintained, but it can be moved into a shared library or removed | |
526 | completely with configure's --with-lvm1 option. | |
527 | ||
528 | Under LVM2, the basic unit of metadata is the volume group. Different | |
529 | volume groups can use different formats of metadata - vg1 could use | |
530 | the original LVM1 format while vg2 used the new format - but you can't | |
531 | mix formats within a volume group. So to add a PV to an LVM2-format | |
532 | volume group you must run "pvcreate -M2" on it, followed by "vgextend". | |
533 | ||
534 | With LVM2-format metadata, lvextend will let you specify striping | |
535 | parameters. So an LV could consist of two or more "segments" - the | |
536 | first segment could have 3 stripes while the second segment has just 2. | |
537 | ||
538 | LVM2 maintains a backup of the current metadata for each volume group | |
539 | in /etc/lvm/backup, and puts copies of previous versions in | |
540 | /etc/lvm/archive. "vgcfgbackup" and "vgcfgrestore" can be used to | |
541 | create and restore from these files. If you fully understand what | |
542 | you're doing, metadata can be changed by editing a copy of a current | |
543 | backup file and using vgcfgrestore to reload it. | |
544 | ||
545 | Please read the pvcreate man page for more information on the new | |
546 | format for metadata. | |
547 | ||
548 | All tools that can change things have a --test flag which can be used | |
549 | to check the effect of a set of cmdline args without really making the | |
550 | changes. | |
551 | ||
552 | ||
553 | What's not finished? | |
554 | ==================== | |
555 | The internal cache. If you turn on debugging output you'll see lots of | |
914c9723 | 556 | repeated messages, many of which will eventually get optimised out. |
5a52dca9 AK |
557 | |
558 | --test sometimes causes a command to fail (e.g. vgconvert --test) even | |
559 | though the real command would work: again, fixing this is waiting for | |
560 | the work on the cache. | |
561 | ||
562 | Several of the tools do not yet contain the logic to handle full | |
563 | recovery: combinations of pvcreate and vgcfgrestore may sometimes be | |
564 | needed to restore metadata if a tool gets interrupted or crashes or | |
565 | finds something unexpected. This applies particularly to tools that | |
566 | work on more than one volume group at once (e.g. vgsplit). | |
567 | ||
568 | Display output. Some metadata information cannot yet be displayed. | |
5a52dca9 AK |
569 | |
570 | Recovery tools to salvage "lost" metadata directly from the disks: | |
571 | but we hope the new format will mean such tools are hardly ever needed! | |
572 |
