Synchronizes all physical partitions for a logical partition.

int lvm_resynclp (LV_ID, LP_Num, Force) struct Lv_id *LV_ID; long LP_Num; int Force;
Note: You must have root user authority to use this subroutine.
The lvm_resynclp subroutine initiates resynchronization for all the existing physical partition copies of the specified logical partition, if required.
The LV_ID parameter specifies the logical volume that contains the logical partition needing resynchronization. The LP_Num parameter is the logical partition number within the logical volume to be resynchronized. The volume group must be varied on, or an error is returned.
The Force parameter is used to specify whether all physical copies or only stale physical copies of a logical partition are to be resynchronized. When the Force parameter is False, a good physical copy is propagated only to the stale physical copies. This is sufficient for most logical volumes.
If the Force parameter is True, a good physical copy is chosen and propagated to all other copies of the logical partition whether or not they are stale. Setting the Force parameter to True is sometimes necessary in cases where mirror-write consistency recovery was not specified for the logical volume. This is especially important after a crash occurs while writing to the logical volume. It is recommended that mirror write consistency be selected for most mirrored logical volumes. For more information on mirror write consistency, see the lvm_createlv and lvm_changelv subroutines.
Upon successful completion, the lvm_resynclp subroutine returns a value of 0.
If the lvm_resynclp subroutine fails, it returns one of the following error codes:
