RHBA-2013:1472 - lvm2 bug fix update
Synopsis
lvm2 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated lvm2 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The lvm2 packages include all of the support for handling read and write operations on physical volumes, creating volume groups from one or more physical volumes and creating one or more logical volumes in volume groups.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, on certain HP servers using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 with the xfs file system, a regression in the code caused the lvm2 utility to ignore the "optimal_io_size" parameter and use a 1MB offset start. Consequently, there was an increase in the disk write operations which caused data misalignment and considerably lowered the performance of the servers. With this update, lvm2 no longer ignores "optimal_io_size" and data misalignment no longer occurs in this scenario. (BZ#965810)
Users of lvm2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
