lvm lvpoll — Continue already initiated poll operation on a logical volume

Description

       lvm  lvpoll is an internal command used by lvmpolld(8) to monitor and complete lvconvert(8) and pvmove(8)
       operations. lvpoll itself does not initiate these operations and should  not  normally  need  to  be  run
       directly.

Environment Variables

       See lvm(8) for information about environment  variables  used  by  lvm.   For  example,  LVM_VG_NAME  can
       generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.

Examples

       Continue polling a pvmove operation.
       lvmlvpoll--polloperationpvmovevg00/pvmove0

       Abort a pvmove operation.
       lvmlvpoll--polloperationpvmove--abortvg00/pvmove0

       Continue polling a mirror conversion.
       lvmlvpoll--polloperationconvertvg00/lvmirror

       Continue mirror repair.
       lvmlvpoll--polloperationconvertvg/damaged_mirror--handlemissingpvs

       Continue snapshot merge.
       lvmlvpoll--polloperationmergevg/snapshot_old

       Continue thin snapshot merge.
       lvmlvpoll--polloperationmerge_thinvg/thin_snapshot

Name

       lvm lvpoll — Continue already initiated poll operation on a logical volume

Notes

       To  find  the  name  of  the  pvmove LV that was created by an original pvmove/dev/name command, use the
       command:
       lvs-a-Smove_pv=/dev/name.

Options

--abort
              Stop processing a poll operation in lvmpolld.

       -A|--autobackupy|n
              Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically after a change.  Enabling this is strongly
              advised!  See vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.

       --commandprofileString
              The  command profile to use for command configuration.  See lvm.conf(5) for more information about
              profiles.

       --configString
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf(5) settings.  The  String  arg  uses  the
              same format as lvm.conf(5), or may use section/field syntax.  See lvm.conf(5) for more information
              about config.

       -d|--debug ...
              Set  debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail of messages sent to the log file
              and/or syslog (if configured).

       --devicesPV
              Restricts the devices that are visible and accessible to the command.   Devices  not  listed  will
              appear  to  be missing. This option can be repeated, or accepts a comma separated list of devices.
              This overrides the devices file.

       --devicesfileString
              A file listing devices that LVM should use.  The file  must  exist  in  /etc/lvm/devices/  and  is
              managed  with  the  lvmdevices(8) command.  This overrides the lvm.conf(5) devices/devicesfile and
              devices/use_devicesfile settings.

       --driverloadedy|n
              If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.  For testing and debugging.

       --handlemissingpvs
              Allows a polling operation to continue when PVs are  missing,  e.g.  for  repairs  due  to  faulty
              devices.

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       -i|--intervalNumber
              Report progress at regular intervals.

       --journalString
              Record information in the systemd journal.  This information is in addition to information enabled
              by  the  lvm.conf  log/journal  setting.   command: record information about the command.  output:
              record the default command output.  debug: record full command debugging.

       --lockoptString
              Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See lvmlockd(8) for more information.

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --nohints
              Do not use the hints file to locate devices for PVs. A command may read more devices to  find  PVs
              when  hints  are  not  used.  The command will still perform standard hint file invalidation where
              appropriate.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking. Use with caution, concurrent commands may produce incorrect results.

       --polloperationpvmove|convert|merge|merge_thin
              The command to perform from lvmpolld.

       --profileString
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on the command.

       -q|--quiet ...
              Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --verbose.  Repeat once to  also  suppress
              any prompts with answer 'no'.

       -t|--test
              Run  in  test  mode.  Commands  will  not  update  metadata.  This is implemented by disabling all
              metadata writing but nevertheless returning success to the calling  function.  This  may  lead  to
              unusual  error  messages  in  multi-stage  operations if a tool relies on reading back metadata it
              believes has changed but hasn't.

       -v|--verbose ...
              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the detail of messages sent to stdout  and
              stderr.

       --version
              Display version information.

       -y|--yes
              Do  not  prompt  for confirmation interactively but always assume the answer yes. Use with extreme
              caution.  (For automatic no, see -qq.)

Variables

LV     Logical Volume name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.  An LV positional arg generally includes the  VG
              name and LV name, e.g. VG/LV.

       String See the option description for information about the string content.

       Size[UNIT]
              Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit.  Input units are always treated as base two
              values, regardless of capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to 1024.  The default input unit
              is  specified  by  letter,  followed by |UNIT.  UNIT represents other possible input units: b|B is
              bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is KiB, m|M is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB,  p|P  is  PiB,
              e|E  is  EiB.  (This should not be confused with the output control --units, where capital letters
              mean multiple of 1000.)
