Hi,
I've ported the submitted patch here into the package and plan to upload
an NMU shortly.
To quote the actual patch file I ended up with:
Description: fix renamed LV detection
It looks like the detection of the LVM logical volumes fails in
certain edge conditions. In particular, it was reported that
renaming an LV will make grub fail to boot from the system as it
cannot properly detect it anymore.
.
I have looked at the code surrounding the patch and cannot claim to
understand the entire function here, as it is huge and quite
cryptic. But it seems sane: the `ptr` we're inspecting here starts
at the `rlocn->offset`, but we were adding `mda_size` to the
(somewhat) unrelated metadatabuf instead. Now we're marking the
`mda_end` correctly, based on the rlocn->offsite and ->size.
.
I have not tested this myself as the test setup is quite involved,
but it seems others (e.g. "Hoyer, David" <david.ho...@netapp.com>)
have tested the patch and confirmed it worked.
A.
