Type: Bug Fix Advisory

Details

An updated lvm2-cluster package that fixes several bugs is now available.

The lvm2-cluster package contains support for Logical Volume Management
(LVM) in a clustered environment.

This update ensures that the bugs fixed by the lvm2 advisory RHBA-2008:0083
are also fixed in a clustered environment.

This updated package fixes the following bugs:

* adds clvmd backup VG metadata on remote nodes.

* decodes cluster locking state in log messages.

* when an LV is active on other cluster nodes, running the "lvremove"
command now prompts for the removal of such an LV.

* the "clvmd -R" command fully refreshes the device cache in this updated
package.

* the "clvmd -d [-C]" command now allows you to turn on clvmd debugging in
a running daemon.

* a possible crash in clusters with more than 50 nodes has been resolved.

* a potential deadlock in clvmd thread handling has been resolved.

Users of lvm2-cluster are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issue.
