Subject: [linux-lvm] Question about vgreduce on raid lvm cache
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2019 08:35:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae5c61f5-8872-6923-cc28-d1ebfb075111@suse.com> (raw)
Hello list,
I met a lvm cache issue recently.
The machine had an LVM VG configured with:
dev1 + dev2 -> data_lv with raid 1 mirror
dev3 + dev4 -> data_cache_lv with raid 1 mirror and type cache
These were assembled to a cached volume with:
"lvconvert --type cache --cachemode writeback --cachepool data/data_cache_lv data/data_lv"
The device dev4 then died and was removed from the system.
When attempting to remove the device using "vgreduce --removemissing", lvm removed both data_cache_lv and data_lv from the data vg.
This is unexpected behaviour, as dev1, dev2, dev3 were all still present.
The expected behaviour should:
```
vgreduce --removemissing
lvconvert -m0 system/lv
```
When it's a non-cached type, and you performe vgreduce, lvs are NOT removed.
the (reproduced) command list:
```
pvcreate /dev/mapper/dev1 /dev/mapper/dev2 /dev/mapper/dev3 /dev/mapper/dev4
vgcreate VG /dev/mapper/dev1 /dev/mapper/dev2 /dev/mapper/dev3 /dev/mapper/dev4
lvcreate --type raid1 -m 1 -L150 -n data_lv VG /dev/mapper/dev1 /dev/mapper/dev2
lvcreate --type raid1 -m 1 -L150 -n data_cache_lv VG /dev/mapper/dev3 /dev/mapper/dev4
lvconvert --type cache --cachemode writeback --cachepool VG/data_cache_lv VG/data_lv
dmsetup remove -f dev4
vgreduce --removemissing --force VG
```
Thanks.
