7.119. lvm2

download PDF
Updated lvm2 packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The lvm2 packages include complete support for handling read and write operations on physical volumes (PVs), creating volume groups (VGs) from one or more PVs, and creating one or more logical volumes (LVs) in VGs.
Two enhancements are described in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 Release Notes, linked from the References section:

Bug Fixes

BZ#853259
This update enhances selection support in the Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
BZ#1021051
The "lvchange -p" command can change in-kernel permissions on a logical volume (LV)
BZ#736027
Volume groups (VGs) built from a high number of physical volumes (PVs) can experience significant lags. Enabling the lvmetad service reduces the operation time even on systems where the VG has metadata on all PVs.
BZ#1021728
The lvremove utility failed to remove damaged thin pools that were not repaired. The double "--force --force" option can now remove such pool volumes.
BZ#1130245
When the lvmetad service was used with "global/use_lvmetad=1" set, LVM leaked open sockets, and lvmetad kept threads for existing sockets. Now, LVM no longer leaks open lvmetad sockets, and lvmetad frees unused threads.
BZ#1132211
Activating a thin pool failed under certain circumstances. The lvm2 utility now properly rounds to 64 kB thin pool chunk size, thus fixing this bug.
BZ#1133079
The lvconvert utility displayed internal error messages under certain circumstances. Now, lvconvert verifies if the "--originname" value differs from the "--thinpool" value before the conversion begins. The messages are no longer displayed.
BZ#1133093
The user could not use the lvconvert utility to repair or split mirrors from cache data and cache metadata volumes due to strict checks for LV names. The checks have been relaxed, and lvconvert can be successfully used for these operations.
BZ#1136925
The lvm2 utility previously in some cases attempted to access incorrect devices for locking. Now, lvm2 uses the expected LV lock for snapshot volumes, thus fixing this bug.
BZ#1140128
When the volume_list parameter was set to forbid activating volumes during thin pool creation on error code path, some volumes could remain active in the device mapper table without the proper lock being held. All such volumes are now correctly deactivated before lvm2 exits.
BZ#1141386
Changing the VG clustering attribute could malfunction when clustered locking was selected. The code now correctly checks and propagates locks even for non-clustered VGs in this situation. The bug no longer occurs.
BZ#1143747
It is no longer possible to set the "--minor" and "--major" options for thin pool volumes with the lvm2 utility. If the user attempts to set them, lvm2 correctly informs the user they are not supported.
BZ#1171805, BZ#1205503
The vgimportclone script did sometimes not work as expected and in some cases also failed to rename and import duplicated VGs. The script now properly handles when the "filter" setting is missing from the lvm.conf file, and its code has been made more robust, thus fixing these bugs.
BZ#1184353
The "--clear-needs-check-flag" option was missing from the default value for the thin_check_options option in the "global" section of the lvm.conf file after installing lvm2. Now, "--clear-needs-check-flag" is set by default after installation.
BZ#1196767
The pvs utility did not list all PVs when reporting only label fields for given PVs if "obtain_device_list_from_udev=0" was set in lvm.conf. Now, LVM2 generates correct content for the persistent cache, thus fixing this bug.

Enhancements

BZ#1202916
With this update, LVM cache is fully supported. Users can now create LVs with a small fast device that serves as a cache to larger and slower devices. For information on creating cache LVs, see the lvmcache(7) man page.
BZ#1211645
This update adds the "--enable-halvm", "--disable-halvm", "--mirrorservice", and "--startstopservices" options to the lvmconf script. For more information, see the lvmconf(8) man page.
Users of lvm2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
