--info This collects and displays lock state from lvmlockd. The display is primitive, incomplete and
will change in future version. To print the raw lock state from lvmlockd, combine this option
with --dump|-d.
--dump This collects the circular log buffer of debug statements from lvmlockd and prints it.
--kill This is run by sanlock when it loses access to the storage holding leases for a VG. It runs the
command specified in lvm.conf lvmlockctl_kill_command to deactivate LVs in the VG. If the
specified command is successful, locks will be dropped for the VG in lvmlockd (the equivalent of
lvmlockctl--drop will be run.) If no command is specified, or the command fails, then the user
must intervene to forcefully deactivate LVs in the VG, and if successful, run lvmlockctl--drop.
For more, see lvmlockd(8).
--drop This should only be run after a VG has been successfully deactivated following an lvmlockctl
--kill command. It clears the stale lockspace from lvmlockd. When lvmlockctl_kill_command is
used, the --kill command may run drop automatically. For more, see lvmlockd(8).
--gl-enable
This enables the global lock in a sanlock VG. This is necessary if the VG that previously held
the global lock is removed. For more, see lvmlockd(8).
--gl-disable
This disables the global lock in a sanlock VG. This is necessary if the global lock has
mistakenly been enabled in more than one VG. The global lock should be disabled in all but one
sanlock VG. For more, see lvmlockd(8).
--stop-lockspaces
This tells lvmlockd to stop all lockspaces. It can be useful to stop lockspaces for VGs that the
vgchange--lock-stop command can no longer see, or to stop the dlm global lockspace which is not
directly stopped by the vgchange command. The wait and force options can be used with this
command.
