There was one more "not found" message issued in case the device
could not be found in device cache (commit 2e82a07 fixed this only
for PV lookup itself). But if we "allow_unformatted" for
find_pv_by_name, we should not issue this message even in case
the device can't be found in dev cache as we just need to know
whether there's a PV or not for the code to decide on next steps
and we don't want to issue any messages if either device itself
is not found or PV is not found.
For example, when we were creating a new PV (and so allow_unformatted = 1)
and the device had a signature on it which caused it to be filtered
by device filter (e.g. MD signature if md filtering is enabled),
or it was part of some other subsystem (e.g. multipath), this message
was issued on find_pv_by_name call which was misleading.
Also, remove misleading "stack" call in case find_pv_by_name
returns NULL in pvcreate_check - any error state is reported
later by pvcreate_check code so no need to "stack" here.
There's one more and proper check to issue "not found" message if
the device can't be found in device cache within pvcreate_check fn
so this situation is still covered properly later in the code.
Before this patch (/dev/sda contains MD signature and is therefore filtered):
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume /dev/sda not found
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/sda at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]:
With this patch applied:
$ pvcreate /dev/sda
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/sda at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]:
Non-existent devices are still caught properly:
$ pvcreate /dev/sdx
Device /dev/sdx not found (or ignored by filtering).
Fix get_pool_params to only read params.
Add poolmetadataspare option to get_pool_params.
Move all profile code into update_pool_params.
Move recalculate code into pool_manip.c
Few unecessary comments were written to on-disc metadata.
Use outfc() to have comments only in archived files.
(may also save couple bytes in ringbuffer).
Support --repair and --use-policies with mirrors.
(fixes another regression from lvconvert change for thin and cache).
TODO: the code path for mirror needs update.
Cache pools are similar as with thin pools.
Add (needs %s) - since cache has currently
a bit strange need for extra few kb over
our default 4M extent size so make it more obvious.
Since the type passed LV is changed and content of data detroyed,
query user with prompt to confirm this operation.
Also add a proper wiping of header.
LVM1 format stores the ALLOCATABLE flag directly in PV header, not
in VG metadata. So the code needs to be fixed further to work
properly for lvm1 format so that the correct PV header is written
(the flag is set only if the PV is in some VG, unset otherwise).

activation: Add "degraded" activation mode
Currently, we have two modes of activation, an unnamed nominal mode
(which I will refer to as "complete") and "partial" mode. The
"complete" mode requires that a volume group be 'complete' - that
is, no missing PVs. If there are any missing PVs, no affected LVs
are allowed to activate - even RAID LVs which might be able to
tolerate a failure. The "partial" mode allows anything to be
activated (or at least attempted). If a non-redundant LV is
missing a portion of its addressable space due to a device failure,
it will be replaced with an error target. RAID LVs will either
activate or fail to activate depending on how badly their
redundancy is compromised.
This patch adds a third option, "degraded" mode. This mode can
be selected via the '--activationmode {complete|degraded|partial}'
option to lvchange/vgchange. It can also be set in lvm.conf.
The "degraded" activation mode allows RAID LVs with a sufficient
level of redundancy to activate (e.g. a RAID5 LV with one device
failure, a RAID6 with two device failures, or RAID1 with n-1
failures). RAID LVs with too many device failures are not allowed
to activate - nor are any non-redundant LVs that may have been
affected. This patch also makes the "degraded" mode the default
activation mode.
The degraded activation mode does not yet work in a cluster. A
new cluster lock flag (LCK_DEGRADED_MODE) will need to be created
to make that work. Currently, there is limited space for this
extra flag and I am looking for possible solutions. One possible
solution is to usurp LCK_CONVERT, as it is not used. When the
locking_type is 3, the degraded mode flag simply gets dropped and
the old ("complete") behavior is exhibited.
