Synopsis

lvm2 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated lvm2 package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The lvm2 package provides support for Logical Volume Management (LVM).

This update fixes the following bug:

• Due to an incorrect test condition in the underlying code, lvm operations could enter an infinite loop if the system contained 4 or more volume groups with duplicate names. With this update, the erroneous test condition has been corrected and lvm commands now complete as expected in this scenario. (BZ#773587)

All users of lvm2 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
