Also, remember you can use 1706'vgchange --ignorelockingfailure' on your initrd if the tool fails because 1707it can't write a lock file to a read-only filesystem. 1708 1709Wednesday 30th April 2003 1710========================= 1711A pvmove implementation is now available for the new metadata format. 1712 1713When running a command that allocates space (e.g. lvcreate), you can now 1714restrict not only which disk(s) may be used but also the Physical Extents 1715on those disks. e.g. lvcreate -L 10 vg1 /dev/hda6:1000-2000:3000-4000 1716 1717 1718Monday 18th November 2002 1719======================== 1720 1721The new format of LVM metadata is ready for you to test! 1722 We expect it to be more efficient and more robust than the original format. 1723 It's more compact and supports transactional changes and replication. 1724 Should things go wrong on a system, it's human-readable (and editable). 1725 1726Please report any problems you find to the mailing list, 1727linux-lvm@sistina.com. The software has NOT yet been thoroughly 1728tested and so quite possibly there'll still be some bugs in it. 1729Be aware of the disclaimer in the COPYING file. 1730 1731While testing, we recommend turning logging on in the configuration file 1732to provide us with diagnostic information: 1733 log { 1734 file="/tmp/lvm2.log" 1735 level=7 1736 activation=1 1737 } 1738 1739You should schedule regular backups of your configuration file and 1740metadata backups and archives (normally kept under /etc/lvm). 1741 1742Please read docs/example.conf and "man lvm.conf" to find out more about 1743the configuration file. 1744 1745To convert an existing volume group called vg1 to the new format using 1746the default settings, use "vgconvert -M2 vg1". See "man vgconvert". 1747 1748-M (or --metadatatype in its long form) is a new flag to indicate which 1749format of metadata the command should use for anything it creates. 1750Currently, the valid types are "lvm1" and "lvm2" and they can be 1751abbreviated to "1" and "2" respectively. The default value for this 1752flag can be changed in the global section in the config file. 1753 1754Backwards-compatible support for the original LVM1 metadata format is 1755maintained, but it can be moved into a shared library or removed 1756completely with configure's --with-lvm1 option. 1757 1758Under LVM2, the basic unit of metadata is the volume group. Different 1759volume groups can use different formats of metadata - vg1 could use 1760the original LVM1 format while vg2 used the new format - but you can't 1761mix formats within a volume group. So to add a PV to an LVM2-format 1762volume group you must run "pvcreate -M2" on it, followed by "vgextend". 1763 1764With LVM2-format metadata, lvextend will let you specify striping 1765parameters. So an LV could consist of two or more "segments" - the 1766first segment could have 3 stripes while the second segment has just 2. 1767 1768LVM2 maintains a backup of the current metadata for each volume group 1769in /etc/lvm/backup, and puts copies of previous versions in 1770/etc/lvm/archive. "vgcfgbackup" and "vgcfgrestore" can be used to 1771create and restore from these files. If you fully understand what 1772you're doing, metadata can be changed by editing a copy of a current 1773backup file and using vgcfgrestore to reload it. 1774 1775Please read the pvcreate man page for more information on the new 1776format for metadata. 1777 1778All tools that can change things have a --test flag which can be used 1779to check the effect of a set of cmdline args without really making the 1780changes. 1781 1782 1783What's not finished? 1784==================== 1785The internal cache. If you turn on debugging output you'll see lots of 1786repeated messages, many of which will eventually get optimised out. 1787 1788--test sometimes causes a command to fail (e.g. vgconvert --test) even 1789though the real command would work: again, fixing this is waiting for 1790the work on the cache. 1791 1792Several of the tools do not yet contain the logic to handle full 1793recovery: combinations of pvcreate and vgcfgrestore may sometimes be 1794needed to restore metadata if a tool gets interrupted or crashes or 1795finds something unexpected. This applies particularly to tools that 1796work on more than one volume group at once (e.g. vgsplit). 1797 1798Display output. Some metadata information cannot yet be displayed. 1799 1800Recovery tools to salvage "lost" metadata directly from the disks: 1801but we hope the new format will mean such tools are hardly ever needed! 1802
