Struct devicemapper::DM [−][src]
pub struct DM { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description
Context needed for communicating with devicemapper.
Implementations
Devicemapper version information: Major, Minor, and patchlevel versions.
Remove all DM devices and tables. Use discouraged other than for debugging.
If DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set, the request will succeed for in-use devices, and they will be removed when released.
Valid flags: DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE
Returns a list of tuples containing DM device names, a Device, which holds their major and minor device numbers, and on kernels that support it, each device’s last event_nr.
Create a DM device. It starts out in a “suspended” state.
Valid flags: DM_READONLY, DM_PERSISTENT_DEV
Example
use devicemapper::{DM, DmOptions, DmName}; let dm = DM::new().unwrap(); // Setting a uuid is optional let name = DmName::new("example-dev").expect("is valid DM name"); let dev = dm.device_create(name, None, &DmOptions::new()).unwrap();
Remove a DM device and its mapping tables.
If DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set, the request for an in-use devices will succeed, and it will be removed when no longer used.
Valid flags: DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE
Change a DM device’s name OR set the device’s uuid for the first time.
Prerequisite: if new == DevId::Name(new_name), old_name != new_name Prerequisite: if new == DevId::Uuid(uuid), device’s current uuid must be “”. Note: Possibly surprisingly, returned DeviceInfo’s uuid or name field contains the previous value, not the newly set value.
Suspend or resume a DM device, depending on if DM_SUSPEND flag is set or not.
Resuming a DM device moves a table loaded into the “inactive”
slot by table_load()
into the “active” slot.
Will block until pending I/O is completed unless DM_NOFLUSH flag is given. Will freeze filesystem unless DM_SKIP_LOCKFS flags is given. Additional I/O to a suspended device will be held until it is resumed.
Valid flags: DM_SUSPEND, DM_NOFLUSH, DM_SKIP_LOCKFS
Example
use devicemapper::{DM, DevId, DmFlags, DmOptions, DmName}; let dm = DM::new().unwrap(); let name = DmName::new("example-dev").expect("is valid DM name"); let id = DevId::Name(name); dm.device_suspend(&id, &DmOptions::new().set_flags(DmFlags::DM_SUSPEND)).unwrap();
Get DeviceInfo for a device. This is also returned by other methods, but if just the DeviceInfo is desired then this just gets it.
Wait for a device to report an event.
Once an event occurs, this function behaves just like
table_status
, see that function for more details.
This interface is not very friendly to monitoring multiple devices. Events are also exported via uevents, that method may be preferable.
Load targets for a device into its inactive table slot.
targets
is an array of (sector_start, sector_length, type, params).
params
are target-specific, please see [Linux kernel documentation]
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/ ->
Documentation/device-mapper
for more.
Example
use devicemapper::{DM, DevId, DmName}; let dm = DM::new().unwrap(); // Create a 16MiB device (32768 512-byte sectors) that maps to /dev/sdb1 // starting 1MiB into sdb1 let table = vec![( 0, 32768, "linear".into(), "/dev/sdb1 2048".into() )]; let name = DmName::new("example-dev").expect("is valid DM name"); let id = DevId::Name(name); dm.table_load(&id, &table).unwrap();
Clear the “inactive” table for a device.
Query DM for which devices are referenced by the “active” table for this device.
If DM_QUERY_INACTIVE_TABLE is set, instead return for the inactive table.
Valid flags: DM_QUERY_INACTIVE_TABLE
Return the status of all targets for a device’s “active” table.
Returns DeviceInfo and a Vec of (sector_start, sector_length, type, params).
If DM_STATUS_TABLE flag is set, returns the current table value. Otherwise returns target-specific status information.
If DM_NOFLUSH is set, retrieving the target-specific status information for targets with metadata will not cause a metadata write.
If DM_QUERY_INACTIVE_TABLE is set, instead return the status of the inactive table.
Valid flags: DM_NOFLUSH, DM_STATUS_TABLE, DM_QUERY_INACTIVE_TABLE
Example
use devicemapper::{DM, DevId, DmFlags, DmOptions, DmName}; let dm = DM::new().unwrap(); let name = DmName::new("example-dev").expect("is valid DM name"); let id = DevId::Name(name); let res = dm.table_status(&id, &DmOptions::new().set_flags(DmFlags::DM_STATUS_TABLE)).unwrap(); println!("{} {:?}", res.0.name(), res.1);
Returns a list of each loaded target type with its name, and version broken into major, minor, and patchlevel.
Send a message to the device specified by id and the sector specified by sector. If sending to the whole device, set sector to None.
