Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated lvm2-cluster package that fixes several bugs and adds various
enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The lvm2-cluster packages contain support for Logical Volume Management (LVM) in
a clustered environment.
This updated lvm2-cluster package ensures that the fixes provided with the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux lvm2 advisory are also fixed in a clustered environment.
The full list of changes is detailed in the WHATS_NEW file located in the
/usr/share/doc/lvm2-[version]/ directory.
This package also provides fixes for the following bugs:
- Wrongly-paired unlocking in the pvchange command has been fixed. (BZ#667517)
- O_DIRECT is now always used when block devices are opened to check for
partitioning. (BZ#673615)
- The clvmd daemon now respects the settings in the lvm.conf configuration file
when it initializes syslog.
- The exclusive lock now remains unchanged when a device is suspended by the
clvmd daemon.
- The clvmd daemon now properly increments the DLM lockspace reference count.
- The clvmd daemon now creates the /var/run/lvm/ directory during initialization
if it is missing.
In addition, this updated package provides the following enhancements:
- Activating snapshots of clustered logical volumes is now supported.
(BZ#501437)
- The clvmd daemon now supports the "--help" option, and returns proper exit
status codes upon exit. (BZ#666991)
- The clvmd daemon now supports the "-f" option, which prevents it from forking,
and the description for the "clvmd -d[number]" command has been improved.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated lvm2-cluster package, which
resolves these issues and adds these enhancements.
