RHBA-2009:1475 - lvm2-cluster bug-fix update


Synopsis

lvm2-cluster bug-fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated lvm2-cluster packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The lvm2-cluster packages contain support for Logical Volume Management (LVM) in a clustered environment.

This update applies the following bug fixes:

  • Make all tools use consistent lock ordering. This fixes vgextend command to block instead of failing when requested Volume Group is locked read-only.

  • Use read-only instead or write lock for lvchange --refresh.

  • Adds global/wait_for_locks to lvm.conf so blocking for locks can be disabled.

  • Fixes bug where non-blocking file locks could be granted in error.

Users of lvm2-cluster are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
