lvm2 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated lvm2 package that resolves several issues is now available.
Description
The lvm2 package contains support for Logical Volume Management (LVM).
This updated lvm2 package provides fixes for the following bugs:
- With this update, the "File-based locking initialization failed." warning,
which was displayed during the system start-up, is now suppressed. (BZ#673975)
- Under certain circumstances, mainly on shared storage systems, the buffered
read of a device was used instead of a direct device access. This could result
in the use of outdated metadata values. This update ensures that all device scan
operations use the direct device access. (BZ#673981)
- This update fixes a faulty initialization which in certain cases lead to a
full unconditional rescan of devices. As a result, all lvm operations were
slowed down and exhibited poor performance. (BZ#673986)
All users of lvm2 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
