Bug#409435: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64: old version of libdevmapper1.02 installed == eat filesystem on pvmove
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-9 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss I just upgraded to 2.6.18.4 and tried pvmove /dev/hdc1 /dev/sda1 Result (dmesg): device-mapper: mirror log: unrecognised sync argument to mirror log: 2 device-mapper: table: 254:3: mirror: Error creating mirror dirty log device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table device-mapper: mirror log: unrecognised sync argument to mirror log: 2 device-mapper: table: 254:3: mirror: Error creating mirror dirty log device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table device-mapper: table: device 254:3 too small for target device-mapper: table: 254:1: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table and the volume was inaccessible. after a pvmove --abort, the whole system hang. after reboot, the files and whole directories were missing, the filesystem was corrupted. After some digging around, this seems to have been reported some time ago and seems to be caused by an old version of libdevmapper1.02 (#383418). Unfortunately, the bug was closed. indeed, upgrading it made pvmove seemingly work (neither upgrading dmsetup nor lvm2 upgrades this library to the required version). I think I had 1.02.06-1 and upgraded to 1.02.12-1. Please, I urge you, add an antidependency to the kernel against old and incompatible versions of libdevmapper. This problem is *severe*, causes serious data loss, is a known issue, and is so easily avoidable and so hard to diagnose.

Unfortunately, the bug was closed. According to #383418, this bug only affects versions of libdevmapper1.02 previous to the version currently in etch, and there is no libdevmapper1.02 in sarge. There is a libdevmapper1.01, but it's not clear that version of the lib is also affected. > indeed, upgrading it made pvmove seemingly work (neither upgrading dmsetup > nor lvm2 upgrades this library to the required version).

But it's not a bug in the kernel -- it's a bug in an obsolete, never released, and unsupported version of devmapper. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
