Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated system-config-lvm packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
system-config-lvm is a utility for graphically configuring logical volumes.
This update includes the following fixes:
- system-config-lvm started very slowly. In these updated packages,
system-config-lvm uses caching for such information, which resolves this
issue. (BZ#525116)
- system-config-lvm did not start correctly in some cases when a physical
volume was created on a logical volume. In these updated packages,
system-config-lvm contains fixes for this situation. (BZ#522200)
- system-config-lvm failed when scanning mirrored logical volume with
corelog. In these updated package, system-config-lvm works correctly with
such volumes.(BZ#516609)
- system-config-lvm failed to create volumes in a Japanese environment. In
these updated package, system-config-lvm correctly translates strings
from/to correct encoding. (BZ#515322)
- system-config-lvm corrupted data when used on a volume exported through
iSCSI. In these updated packages, system-config-lvm refuses to work with
volumes which are used if they are not mounted. (BZ#514268)
- system-config-lvm started extremely slowly when used over a slow network.
In these updated package, the system-config-lvm progress bar is updated
less frequently but is still fluent even on local displays.(BZ#502042)
- system-config-lvm lost mount attributes in /etc/fstab after a change of
volumes. In these updated packages, system-config-lvm preserves all
attributes from /etc/fstab.(BZ#475434, BZ#455945)
- system-config-lvm did not support ext4 file systems. In these updated
packages, system-config-lvm supports ext4 file systems.(BZ#444525)
- system-config-lvm did not work correctly in the Oriya language when some
numbers where written using their glyphs. In these updated packages,
system-config-lvm uses Arabic numbers everywhere.(BZ#243646)
- system-config-lvm used extents as a default unit size for volumes. In
these updated package, system-config-lvm uses MB, GB, or TB, depending on
the size of volume. (BZ#217752)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated system-config-lvm packages,
which resolve these issues.
