RHBA-2007:0847 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
lvm2-cluster bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated lvm2-cluster packages that fix various bugs and add enhancements
are now available.
Description
The lvm2-cluster packages contain support for logical volume management in
a clustered environment.
This update ensures that the bugs fixed by lvm2 advisory RHBA-2007:0753 and
device-mapper advisory RHBA-2007:0749 are also fixed in a clustered
environment.
Additionally, these updated packages fix the following bugs:
- several bugs in the clvmd daemon that could cause the daemon to hang or
crash have been resolved.
- clvmd failed to update its view of storage when changes were made to
LVM2 block devices. In these updated packages the "clvmd -R" command is run
automatically when using the "pvscan" and "vgscan" commands, which
resolves this issue.
- the "clvmd -R" command fully refreshes the device cache in these updated
packages.
This update also adds the following enhancement:
- more detailed error messages. Many unnecessary error messages are now
suppressed.
- updated man page.
For a complete description of changes please refer to the WHATS_NEW file
in the src.rpm package.
All lvm2-cluster users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues and add these enhancements.
