NEEDINFO

Shrinking a data pool cannot be safely done online.  This could well
require moving data away from the part of the device that is to be
removed.  On offline tool is being written (part of thinp-tools).

>  - Metadata backup for pools where the mappings aren't changing.

I'm not sure where this requirement came from.  LVM would have to be
very certain that the mappings are not changing (ie. always activating
in read-only-metadata mode).  The backup could be made in binary or
xml format; either using dd, or thin_dump.

>  - When doing a merge of an internal snap offer the option to keep
>    the old origin around.

NEEDINFO - isn't this just a rename of both then?  What's the point?

Yes, 'merge' is a trivial rename + reactivation.  This requirement is
purely about providing a friendly command line interface.  The point is one or both of the devices may be active, so we need to reload tables pointing to different thin devices.

>  - Undo external snap (with no merging).
>    Mostly done, external origin ends up with a different name.

NEEDINFO - I don't understand this request.

When taking an external snapshot the external dev becomes read-only,
we then create two snapshots within the pool.  One which acts as a
writeable version of the origin/external dev, and one which is the
'snapshot' requested.

People may want to undo this, and go back to modifying the origin
directly.

>
>  - Merge of external snap

NEEDINFO - do you mean merge to external origin?

Yes.

Bug 1164915
NEEDINFO: Not clear on design.

An offline tool would examine the old style snapshot, and either modify an
existing pool, or create a new one:


- The data device would be extended with the COW store from the old snap.
- Mappings would be added to map a thin onto the COW blocks.

- The origin would become read only; but a new snap of it would be
  used to provide writeable origin (see external snap discussion
  above).

Optionally we could pull the origin into the pool as well.  Probably
default behaviour if the origin is an LV.

DONE.
NEEDINFO:  We can have / on thinLVs, but how well are we handling recovery scenarios?

No idea.  LVM team to answer.

This is also interesting for RHEV, we investigate having / on a thinLV for RHEV-H
