[lvm-devel] [PATCH] (5/5) (experimental) lvconvert --repair

[Petr Rockai]

Hi,

this last patch implements a (somewhat) experimental lvconvert extension that
presents basis for further hotspare work. It needs user documentation, but
otherwise it seems to work well in my (somewhat limited) testing.

Running lvconvert --repair on a partially broken mirror will remove the missing
legs and/or log. Furthermore, if supplied with a PV list on commandline, it
will replace missing pieces with freshly allocated ones, when enough
allocatable space is available in the supplied PVs.

There is no special "hotspare" allocation policy yet, but when we have one in
place, it should be easy to add automatic hotspare allocation capability to
--repair.
