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 Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
*dmstats* now supports mapping of files to `dmstats` regions The "--filemap" option of the "dmstats" command now allows the user to easily configure *dmstats* regions to track I/O operations to a specified file in the file system. Previously, I/O statistics were only available for a whole device, or a region of a device, which limited administrator insight into I/O performance to a per-file basis. Now, the "--filemap" option enables the user to inspect file I/O performance using the same tools used for any *device-mapper* device.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:1445 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE lvm2 bug fix and enhancement update 2016-11-03 13:46:41 UTC

Description Bryn M. Reeves 2015-11-27 18:26:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
Add the ability to automatically create dmstats regions that correspond to the ranges of sectors used by file system objects (initially just files but potentially also directories, journals and other regions of interest to performance analysis).

This is currently possible through the use of external scripts that map the object's extents to sector ranges passed to 'dmstats create' via the --start and --length argument, e.g. dms-filemap.py:

  http://fpaste.org/295215/64862414/

Integrate this into the dmstats tool so that e.g.:

# dmstats create --filemap /path/to/some/file

Will automatically create appropriate regions on the device containing some/file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lvm2-2.02.127-*.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dmstats create --filemap /path/to/some/file

Actual results:
# dmstats create --filemap /path/to/some/file
dmstats: unrecognized option '--filemap'
Couldn't process command line.

Expected results:
# dmstats create --filemap /path/to/some/file
vg_hex-lv_home: Created new region with 1 area(s) as region ID 2

Comment 2 Bryn M. Reeves 2016-07-08 08:29:58 UTC 
The functionality for this bug is now complete (although still awaiting review & merge upstream):

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/log/?h=dev-bmr-dmstats-filemap

Once the infrastructure for creating and managing groups (bug 1282563) was complete the work to add this additional feature turned out to be less than anticipated.

Some rough documentation on the feature:

Comment 6 Corey Marthaler 2016-09-23 18:37:54 UTC 
Verified that file maps can be created and monitored as I/O is running to those files.
