1072 | Friday 14th November 2003 |
1073 | ========================= | |
1074 | Some bug fixes & minor enhancements, including: | |
1075 | Backwards compatibility with LVM1 metadata improved. | |
1076 | Missing man pages written. | |
1077 | Tool error codes made more consistent. | |
1078 | vgmknodes written. | |
1079 | O_DIRECT can be turned off if it doesn't work in your kernel. | |
b2bb7264 | 1080 | dumpconfig to display the active configuration file |
f74d51d9 AK |
1081 | |
1082 | You need to update libdevmapper before using 'vgmknodes' or 'vgscan --mknodes'. | |
1083 | If your root filesystem is on an LV, you should run one of those two | |
57015b12 | 1084 | commands to fix up the special files in /dev in your real root filesystem |
f74d51d9 AK |
1085 | after finishing with your initrd. Also, remember you can use |
1086 | 'vgchange --ignorelockingfailure' on your initrd if the tool fails because | |
1087 | it can't write a lock file to a read-only filesystem. | |
1088 | ||
541f8753 AK |
1089 | Wednesday 30th April 2003 |
1090 | ========================= | |
1091 | A pvmove implementation is now available for the new metadata format. | |
1092 | ||
1093 | When running a command that allocates space (e.g. lvcreate), you can now | |
57015b12 | 1094 | restrict not only which disk(s) may be used but also the Physical Extents |
541f8753 AK |
1095 | on those disks. e.g. lvcreate -L 10 vg1 /dev/hda6:1000-2000:3000-4000 |
1096 | ||
1097 | ||
1098 | Monday 18th November 2002 | |
5a52dca9 AK |
1099 | ======================== |
1100 | ||
1101 | The new format of LVM metadata is ready for you to test! | |
1102 | We expect it to be more efficient and more robust than the original format. | |
1103 | It's more compact and supports transactional changes and replication. | |
1104 | Should things go wrong on a system, it's human-readable (and editable). | |
1105 | ||
57015b12 | 1106 | Please report any problems you find to the mailing list, |
5a52dca9 AK |
1107 | linux-lvm@sistina.com. The software has NOT yet been thoroughly |
1108 | tested and so quite possibly there'll still be some bugs in it. | |
1109 | Be aware of the disclaimer in the COPYING file. | |
1110 | ||
57015b12 | 1111 | While testing, we recommend turning logging on in the configuration file |
5a52dca9 AK |
1112 | to provide us with diagnostic information: |
1113 | log { | |
1114 | file="/tmp/lvm2.log" | |
541f8753 | 1115 | level=7 |
5518374b | 1116 | activation=1 |
5a52dca9 AK |
1117 | } |
1118 | ||
1119 | You should schedule regular backups of your configuration file and | |
1120 | metadata backups and archives (normally kept under /etc/lvm). | |
1121 | ||
57015b12 | 1122 | Please read docs/example.conf and "man lvm.conf" to find out more about |
5a52dca9 AK |
1123 | the configuration file. |
1124 | ||
1125 | To convert an existing volume group called vg1 to the new format using | |
1126 | the default settings, use "vgconvert -M2 vg1". See "man vgconvert". | |
1127 | ||
1128 | -M (or --metadatatype in its long form) is a new flag to indicate which | |
1129 | format of metadata the command should use for anything it creates. | |
1130 | Currently, the valid types are "lvm1" and "lvm2" and they can be | |
1131 | abbreviated to "1" and "2" respectively. The default value for this | |
1132 | flag can be changed in the global section in the config file. | |
1133 | ||
1134 | Backwards-compatible support for the original LVM1 metadata format is | |
1135 | maintained, but it can be moved into a shared library or removed | |
1136 | completely with configure's --with-lvm1 option. | |
1137 | ||
1138 | Under LVM2, the basic unit of metadata is the volume group. Different | |
1139 | volume groups can use different formats of metadata - vg1 could use | |
1140 | the original LVM1 format while vg2 used the new format - but you can't | |
1141 | mix formats within a volume group. So to add a PV to an LVM2-format | |
1142 | volume group you must run "pvcreate -M2" on it, followed by "vgextend". | |
1143 | ||
1144 | With LVM2-format metadata, lvextend will let you specify striping | |
1145 | parameters. So an LV could consist of two or more "segments" - the | |
1146 | first segment could have 3 stripes while the second segment has just 2. | |
1147 | ||
1148 | LVM2 maintains a backup of the current metadata for each volume group | |
1149 | in /etc/lvm/backup, and puts copies of previous versions in | |
1150 | /etc/lvm/archive. "vgcfgbackup" and "vgcfgrestore" can be used to | |
57015b12 | 1151 | create and restore from these files. If you fully understand what |
5a52dca9 AK |
1152 | you're doing, metadata can be changed by editing a copy of a current |
1153 | backup file and using vgcfgrestore to reload it. | |
1154 | ||
1155 | Please read the pvcreate man page for more information on the new | |
1156 | format for metadata. | |
1157 | ||
1158 | All tools that can change things have a --test flag which can be used | |
1159 | to check the effect of a set of cmdline args without really making the | |
1160 | changes. | |
1161 | ||
1162 | ||
1163 | What's not finished? | |
1164 | ==================== | |
1165 | The internal cache. If you turn on debugging output you'll see lots of | |
914c9723 | 1166 | repeated messages, many of which will eventually get optimised out. |
5a52dca9 | 1167 | |
57015b12 JM |
1168 | --test sometimes causes a command to fail (e.g. vgconvert --test) even |
1169 | though the real command would work: again, fixing this is waiting for | |
5a52dca9 AK |
1170 | the work on the cache. |
1171 | ||
1172 | Several of the tools do not yet contain the logic to handle full | |
1173 | recovery: combinations of pvcreate and vgcfgrestore may sometimes be | |
1174 | needed to restore metadata if a tool gets interrupted or crashes or | |
1175 | finds something unexpected. This applies particularly to tools that | |
1176 | work on more than one volume group at once (e.g. vgsplit). | |
1177 | ||
1178 | Display output. Some metadata information cannot yet be displayed. | |
5a52dca9 AK |
1179 | |
1180 | Recovery tools to salvage "lost" metadata directly from the disks: | |
1181 | but we hope the new format will mean such tools are hardly ever needed! |
