Hello,
To handle a double failure of a mirrored log, Jon's two patches are
commited, however, lvconvert command can't still handle an error
when mirror leg and mirrored log got failure at the same time.
[Patch]: Handle both devices of a mirrored log failing (bug 607347)
posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00009.html
commit: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00027.html
[Patch]: Handle both devices of a mirrored log failing (bug 607347) -
additional fix
posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00093.html
commit: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-July/msg00101.html
In the second patch, the target type of mirrored log is replaced with
error target when remove_log is set to 1, but this procedure should be
also used in other cases such as the number of mirror leg is 1. This
patch relocates the procedure to the main path.
In addition, I added following three changes.
- Removed tmp_orphan_lvs handling procedure
It seems that _delete_lv() can handle detached_log_lv properly
without adding mirror legs in mirrored log to tmp_orphan_lvs.
Therefore, I removed the procedure.
- Removed vg_write()/vg_commit()
Metadata is saved by vg_write()/vg_commit() just after detached_log_lv
is handled. Therefore, I removed vg_write()/vg_commit().
- With Jon's second patch, we think that we don't have to call
remove_mirror_log() in _lv_update_mirrored_log() because will be
handled remove_mirror_images() in _lvconvert_mirrors_repaire().
Appreciate your reviews and comments.
Thanks,
Taka
