1345 | Friday 14th November 2003 |
1346 | ========================= | |
1347 | Some bug fixes & minor enhancements, including: | |
1348 | Backwards compatibility with LVM1 metadata improved. | |
1349 | Missing man pages written. | |
1350 | Tool error codes made more consistent. | |
1351 | vgmknodes written. | |
1352 | O_DIRECT can be turned off if it doesn't work in your kernel. | |
b2bb7264 | 1353 | dumpconfig to display the active configuration file |
f74d51d9 AK |
1354 | |
1355 | You need to update libdevmapper before using 'vgmknodes' or 'vgscan --mknodes'. | |
1356 | If your root filesystem is on an LV, you should run one of those two | |
57015b12 | 1357 | commands to fix up the special files in /dev in your real root filesystem |
f74d51d9 AK |
1358 | after finishing with your initrd. Also, remember you can use |
1359 | 'vgchange --ignorelockingfailure' on your initrd if the tool fails because | |
1360 | it can't write a lock file to a read-only filesystem. | |
1361 | ||
541f8753 AK |
1362 | Wednesday 30th April 2003 |
1363 | ========================= | |
1364 | A pvmove implementation is now available for the new metadata format. | |
1365 | ||
1366 | When running a command that allocates space (e.g. lvcreate), you can now | |
57015b12 | 1367 | restrict not only which disk(s) may be used but also the Physical Extents |
541f8753 AK |
1368 | on those disks. e.g. lvcreate -L 10 vg1 /dev/hda6:1000-2000:3000-4000 |
1369 | ||
1370 | ||
1371 | Monday 18th November 2002 | |
5a52dca9 AK |
1372 | ======================== |
1373 | ||
1374 | The new format of LVM metadata is ready for you to test! | |
1375 | We expect it to be more efficient and more robust than the original format. | |
1376 | It's more compact and supports transactional changes and replication. | |
1377 | Should things go wrong on a system, it's human-readable (and editable). | |
1378 | ||
57015b12 | 1379 | Please report any problems you find to the mailing list, |
5a52dca9 AK |
1380 | linux-lvm@sistina.com. The software has NOT yet been thoroughly |
1381 | tested and so quite possibly there'll still be some bugs in it. | |
1382 | Be aware of the disclaimer in the COPYING file. | |
1383 | ||
57015b12 | 1384 | While testing, we recommend turning logging on in the configuration file |
5a52dca9 AK |
1385 | to provide us with diagnostic information: |
1386 | log { | |
1387 | file="/tmp/lvm2.log" | |
541f8753 | 1388 | level=7 |
5518374b | 1389 | activation=1 |
5a52dca9 AK |
1390 | } |
1391 | ||
1392 | You should schedule regular backups of your configuration file and | |
1393 | metadata backups and archives (normally kept under /etc/lvm). | |
1394 | ||
57015b12 | 1395 | Please read docs/example.conf and "man lvm.conf" to find out more about |
5a52dca9 AK |
1396 | the configuration file. |
1397 | ||
1398 | To convert an existing volume group called vg1 to the new format using | |
1399 | the default settings, use "vgconvert -M2 vg1". See "man vgconvert". | |
1400 | ||
1401 | -M (or --metadatatype in its long form) is a new flag to indicate which | |
1402 | format of metadata the command should use for anything it creates. | |
1403 | Currently, the valid types are "lvm1" and "lvm2" and they can be | |
1404 | abbreviated to "1" and "2" respectively. The default value for this | |
1405 | flag can be changed in the global section in the config file. | |
1406 | ||
1407 | Backwards-compatible support for the original LVM1 metadata format is | |
1408 | maintained, but it can be moved into a shared library or removed | |
1409 | completely with configure's --with-lvm1 option. | |
1410 | ||
1411 | Under LVM2, the basic unit of metadata is the volume group. Different | |
1412 | volume groups can use different formats of metadata - vg1 could use | |
1413 | the original LVM1 format while vg2 used the new format - but you can't | |
1414 | mix formats within a volume group. So to add a PV to an LVM2-format | |
1415 | volume group you must run "pvcreate -M2" on it, followed by "vgextend". | |
1416 | ||
1417 | With LVM2-format metadata, lvextend will let you specify striping | |
1418 | parameters. So an LV could consist of two or more "segments" - the | |
1419 | first segment could have 3 stripes while the second segment has just 2. | |
1420 | ||
1421 | LVM2 maintains a backup of the current metadata for each volume group | |
1422 | in /etc/lvm/backup, and puts copies of previous versions in | |
1423 | /etc/lvm/archive. "vgcfgbackup" and "vgcfgrestore" can be used to | |
57015b12 | 1424 | create and restore from these files. If you fully understand what |
5a52dca9 AK |
1425 | you're doing, metadata can be changed by editing a copy of a current |
1426 | backup file and using vgcfgrestore to reload it. | |
1427 | ||
1428 | Please read the pvcreate man page for more information on the new | |
1429 | format for metadata. | |
1430 | ||
1431 | All tools that can change things have a --test flag which can be used | |
1432 | to check the effect of a set of cmdline args without really making the | |
1433 | changes. | |
1434 | ||
1435 | ||
1436 | What's not finished? | |
1437 | ==================== | |
1438 | The internal cache. If you turn on debugging output you'll see lots of | |
914c9723 | 1439 | repeated messages, many of which will eventually get optimised out. |
5a52dca9 | 1440 | |
57015b12 JM |
1441 | --test sometimes causes a command to fail (e.g. vgconvert --test) even |
1442 | though the real command would work: again, fixing this is waiting for | |
5a52dca9 AK |
1443 | the work on the cache. |
1444 | ||
1445 | Several of the tools do not yet contain the logic to handle full | |
1446 | recovery: combinations of pvcreate and vgcfgrestore may sometimes be | |
1447 | needed to restore metadata if a tool gets interrupted or crashes or | |
1448 | finds something unexpected. This applies particularly to tools that | |
1449 | work on more than one volume group at once (e.g. vgsplit). | |
1450 | ||
1451 | Display output. Some metadata information cannot yet be displayed. | |
5a52dca9 AK |
1452 | |
1453 | Recovery tools to salvage "lost" metadata directly from the disks: | |
1454 | but we hope the new format will mean such tools are hardly ever needed! |
