From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Petr Rockai Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:36:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] (11/11) re-instantiate automatic VG recovery Message-ID: <87fxme2amo.fsf@eriador.mornfall.net> List-Id: To: lvm-devel@redhat.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Finally! This one restores the functionality that has been severed from the toollib, that is the automatic metadata recovery in case of running after an interrupted commit. This could do with a better naming and all, but that will be dealt with in later patches (in another series, I suppose). All in all, this is a fairly big bundle, and hopefully it should hit CVS soon after the dust from the device-mapper merge has settled. It is definitely work in progress and there will be regressions. However, since it's now easier than ever to write tests for the testsuite, using the new tools, I would welcome this as a good opportunity to augment our suite with all the regressions we can find that the bundle has created (and even more). This is essential to improve confidence in new code and makes it a lot less hassle to change things. I have been running the branch through our resident buildbot (http://nevrast.englab.brq.redhat.com:8010/waterfall) for a while now -- and it's pretty much green. I would also like to thank everyone who's worked on the testsuite, it's already been of great help in development -- and I hope it will become even much more useful, as it covers more and more use-cases, bugs and, hopefully, all of our favourite regressions. Now, I'm done for. I have been staring at diffs just a little too long by now, but I'll try to write up a summary on what still needs to be done, and some ideas on how to approach that, in not-so-distant (I hope) future. Yours, Petr. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
