Synopsis

Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated lvm2-cluster packages that fix several bugs and add enhancements
are now available.
Description
The lvm2-cluster packages contain support for Logical Volume Management
(LVM) in a clustered environment.
This update ensures that the bugs fixed by the lvm2 advisory are also fixed
in a clustered environment.
This update applies the following bug fixes:
- Changes the clvmd initscript to provide a standard exit status code (4) when
executed by a non-root user.
- Changes the clvmd initscript restart command to start the daemon if it was not
running.
- Changes the clvmd initscript never to deactivate non-clustered logical
volumes.
- Changes the clvmd initscript now to report only clustered logical volumes
during activation.
- Avoids a crash in clvmd -R if no response is received from the daemon.
- Disallows vgchange --clustered if there are active mirrors or snapshots.
- Fixes a crash during automatic target module loading.
- Avoids a deadlock discovered during clvmd stress testing. (BZ#561226)
- Fixes 'lvconvert --splitmirrors' in cluster operation.
- Fixes a data corruption bug in cluster mirrors.
- Disallows 'mirrored' log type for cluster mirrors.
- Disallows lvchange --ignoremonitoring for clustered volumes.
- Avoids file conflicts when installing both lvm2 and lvm2-cluster debuginfo
packages. (BZ#586980)
This update adds the following enhancements:
- Adds -S command to clvmd to restart the daemon preserving exclusive locks.
- Ensures the cluster log daemon is running before allowing the creation of a
clustered mirror.
- Provides a manual page for lvmconf(8). (BZ#498436)
Users of lvm2-cluster are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues and add these enhancements.
