Sorry for interrupting your discussion. But, I just cannot help to ask:
It's not the first time I see "there are more prio work". So I'm
wondering: can upstream
consider to have these high priority works available on homepage [1] or
trello tool [1]?
I really hope upstream can do so. Thus,
1. Users can expect what changes will likely happen for lvm.
2. It helps developer reach agreements on what problems/features should
be on high
priority and avoid overlap efforts.
I know all core developer are working for RedHat. But, I guess you
experts will also be happy
to see any real contributions from other engineers. For me, some big
issues in LVM I can see by now:
- lvmetad slows down activation much if there are a lot of PVs on system
(say 256 PVs, it takes >10s to pvscan
in my testing).
- pvmove is slow. I know it's not fault of LVM. The time is almost spent
in DM (the IO dispatch/copy).
- snapshot cannot be used in cluster environment. There is a usecase:
user has a central backup system
running on a node. They want to make snapshot and backup some LUNs
attached to other nodes, on this
backup system node.
If our upstream have a place to put and discuss what the prio works are,
I think it will encourage me to do
more contributions - because I'm not 100% sure if it's a real issue and
if it's a work that upstream hopes
to see, every engineer wants their work to be accepted by upstream :)
I can try to go forward to do meaningful
work (research, testing...) as far as I can, if you experts can confirm
that "that's a real problem. Go ahead!".
