    dm thin metadata: do not allow the data block size to change · 9aec8629
    Mike Snitzer 提交于
    The block size for the thin-pool's data device must remained fixed for
    the life of the thin-pool.  Disallow any attempt to change the
    thin-pool's data block size.
    
    It should be noted that attempting to change the data block size via
    thin-pool table reload will be ignored as a side-effect of the thin-pool
    handover that the thin-pool target does during thin-pool table reload.
    
    Here is an example outcome of attempting to load a thin-pool table that
    reduced the thin-pool's data block size from 1024K to 512K.
    
    Before:
    kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: growing the data device from 204800 to 409600 blocks
    
    After:
    kernel: device-mapper: thin metadata: changing the data block size (from 2048 to 1024) is not supported
    kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:4: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
    kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
