1131777 – LVM cache: If writethrough, allow abandoning cachepool (lvconvert --uncache) if it has failed, and is also inactive

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:	Support for ability to uncouple a cache pool from a logical volume LVM now has the ability to uncouple a cache pool from a logical volume if a device in the cache pool has failed. Previously, this type of failure would require manual intervention and complicated alterations to LVM metadata in order to separate the cache pool from the origin logical volume. To uncouple a logical volume from its cache-pool use the following command: # lvconvert --uncache vg/lv Note the following limitations: * The cache logical volume must be inactive (may require a reboot) * A `writeback` cache requires the "--force" option due to the possibility of abandoning data lost to failure.

Description Jonathan Earl Brassow 2014-08-20 04:24:53 UTC

If 'writethrough' caching is being employed for a cache LV and the cache-pool dies (either cacheDataLV or cacheMetaLV) in an unrecoverable way, allow the repair tools to abandon the cache-pool and convert the origin back to a non-cache LV.

Comment 2 Marian Csontos 2014-08-20 09:15:24 UTC

In my opinion with enough "--force" one should be able to convert writeback devices too. We do not want users to edit metadata by hand, do we? Recovery tools should be still able to save at least some data...

Comment 10 Zdenek Kabelac 2016-09-19 13:11:32 UTC

There is not yet ANY support for repair of broken  cache volumes.

'lvconvert --repair' on a cache volumes is not yet driven by lvm2 and needs manual steps with replacement of cache-pool metadata LV with a fixed version.

In some future (hopefully near-by) we will provide support for offline decommission of cached blocks as well as some automated repair of (slightly0 damaged cache metadata volume.

Comment 11 Corey Marthaler 2016-09-19 21:15:37 UTC

With out knowing the specific writethrough case that this was intended to fix, or the devel testing results proving that it worked, I attempted the following seven cases and only two of them passed. So marking this FailedQA for now.

Comment 12 Corey Marthaler 2016-09-20 18:35:20 UTC

After talking to devel, this fix was intended for just a specific case where the cache origin and pool also happen to be inactive during or immediately just after the pool failure. So, marking this verified in the latest rpms for this specific scenario *only*. I'll file a bug(s) for all the other cache pool failure scenarios that still fail when abandoning is attempted.
