RHBA-2018:3442 - lvm2 bug fix update
Synopsis
lvm2 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated lvm2 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The lvm2 packages include complete 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:
- A bug in the I/O layer of LVM caused LVM to read and write back the first 128kB of data that immediately followed the LVM metadata on the disk. If another program or the file system was modifying these blocks when an LVM command was used, changes might have been lost. As a consequence, this might have lead to data corruption in rare cases. With this update, LVM no longer writes past the metadata area. As a result, the data corruption no longer occurs in the described scenario. (BZ#1644206)
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.
