1439925 – RAID TAKEOVER: conversion attempts *from* linear should execute interim possibilities until segtype is achieved

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.

Description Corey Marthaler 2017-04-06 21:15:34 UTC

Description of problem:
All volume type (besides linear) conversion attempts that are unsupported provide possible layouts in the warning messages.

# linear
[root@host-073 ~]# lvcreate -L 100M --type linear VG
  Logical volume "lvol0" created.
# striped
[root@host-073 ~]# lvcreate -L 100M -i 2 --type striped VG
  Using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
  Rounding size 100.00 MiB (25 extents) up to stripe boundary size 104.00 MiB(26 extents).
  Logical volume "lvol1" created.
# raid1
[root@host-073 ~]# lvcreate -L 100M -m 1 --type raid1 VG
  Logical volume "lvol2" created.


[root@host-073 ~]# lvconvert --type raid6 VG/lvol0
  Using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
  Conversion operation not yet supported.

[root@host-073 ~]# lvconvert --type raid6 VG/lvol1
  Using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
  Replaced LV type raid6 with possible type raid6_n_6.
Do you want to convert raid6 LV VG/lvol1 to raid6_n_6? [y/n]: n
  Logical volume VG/lvol1 NOT converted.
  Converting VG/lvol1 from striped is directly possible to the following layouts:
    raid0
    raid0_meta
    raid10
    raid4
    raid5_n
    raid6_n_6

[root@host-073 ~]# lvconvert --type raid6 VG/lvol2
  Using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
  Unable to convert LV VG/lvol2 from raid1 to raid6.
  Converting VG/lvol2 from raid1 is directly possible to the following layouts:
    mirror
    raid4
    raid5_n
    raid5_la
    raid5_ls
    raid5_ra
    raid5_rs

Comment 2 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2017-05-10 15:30:34 UTC

nice to have in 7.4, but not ex/bl worthy.  need to move to 7.5

Comment 7 Heinz Mauelshagen 2018-06-05 14:27:48 UTC

lvm2 upstream commit bd7cdd0b09ba123b064937fddde08daacbed7dab

Comment 12 Corey Marthaler 2018-08-13 20:47:02 UTC

Fix verified in the latest rpms. Linear segtypes can be eventually converted through interim steps to all the major raid types (mirror, raid1, raid4, raid5, raid6, raid10).
