Details

An updated system-config-lvm package that fixes various bugs is now
available.

The system-config-lvm package contains a utility for graphically
configuring logical volumes.

This updated package fixes the following bugs:

* system-config-lvm failed to start when launched on systems that contained
unsynchronized mirror volumes, i.e. logical volumes created with the
"--nosync" option.

* with certain Device-Mapper Multipath configurations, running the
"system-config-lvm" command caused a traceback, and an "AttributeError:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'add_extent_block'" error.

* attempting to delete an active snapshot with the system-config-lvm
graphical configuration tool failed with the message:

lvchange command failed. Command attempted: "/usr/sbin/lvchange -an
/dev/vgsnap/lvsnap1" - System Error Message: Can't change snapshot
logical volume "lvsnap1"

With this updated package, it is once again possible to delete an active
snapshot.

Users of system-config-lvm are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves these issues.
