Exclude VG_GLOBAL from vg_write_lock_held so scans open devs read-only again. Add unit test case for liblvm VG create/delete APIs. Add liblvm APIs to implement creation and deletion of VGs. Initialize cmd->cmd_line to "liblvm" in new liblvm library. Place handles to liblvm objects for pv, vg, lv, lvseg, pvseg inside lvm.h. Refactor vgsplit and vgextend to remove READ_REQUIRE_RESIZEABLE flag. - Changed exit() to _exit() after fork() to avoid flushing libc buffers twice. + Use _exit() not exit() after forking to avoid flushing libc buffers twice. Add cast to log_info arg in _find_labeller to avoid Sparc64 warning. Make cmd->cmd_line const. Fix dev name mismatch in vgcreate man page example. Refactor vg_remove_single for use in liblvm. - Make all tools consistent with lock ordering - obtain VG_ORPHAN lock second. - Check MD devices for a partition table during device scan. - Add extended device (blkext) and MD partition (mdp) types to filters. - Fix and precise metadata read errors for segment areas. - Fix segment metadata read function errors to use proper segment name. + Make all tools use consistent lock ordering obtaining VG_ORPHAN lock second. + Check md devices for a partition table during device scan. + Add extended device (blkext) and md partition (mdp) types to filters. + Make text metadata read errors for segment areas more precise. + Fix text segment metadata read errors to mention correct segment name. + Include segment and LV names in text segment import error messages. Add parent node to config_node structure. - Fix segment import functions to print segment name and logical volume name. - Update vgsplit and vgcreate to call the new vg_create, then call 'set' fns. + Update vgsplit and vgcreate to call new vg_create and 'set' functions. Change vg_create to take minimal parameters, obtain a lock, and return vg_t. Refactor vgchange extent_size, max_lv, max_pv, and alloc_policy for liblvm. Update t-vgcreate-usage.sh to test for default vg properties. Fix memory leak in vgsplit when re-reading the vg. Make exit/cleanup code more robust when some lvm init function fails. - Use implicit set of LCK_NONBLOCK instead of explicit vg_read() flag. - Remove unnecessary locking and existence code from new vg_read() interface. + Use LCK_NONBLOCK implicitly instead of explicit vg_read() flag. + Remove unnecessary locking and existence tests from new vg_read() interface. Permit several segment types to be registered by a single shared object. Update the man pages to document size units uniformly. Allow commandline sizes to be specified in terms of bytes and sectors.
