Re: [linux-lvm] Issue after upgrading the LVM2 package from 2.02.176 to 2.02.180

2020-09-17 Thread Roger Heflin
There is only a reject, there are no included devices.  Once you add a
filter it overrides the default filter including all I believe.

The fixes may have been fixing filtering as once you specify a filter
then there is no implied include (anymore). You should probably look
at the list of fixes that happened between those 2 versions.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the information shared.
Filter which we used in our conf file was,
# Accept every block device:
  filter = [ "r|^/dev/drbd.*|" ]


Thanks.

#1:
Device /dev/sda3 excluded by a filter.)
Failed to execute command: pvcreate -ffy /dev/sda3
ec=0

excluded by filter is likely the issue, I think there was a bug were
it allowed that pvcreate to work when it should have blocked it
because of the filter.  It should not allow a pvcreate against
something blocked by a filter.

#2: Read-only locking type set. Write locks are prohibited.
I am going to guess either / is not mounted rw, or you don't have the
directory mounted rw that is needed to create the locks (/var/run/lvm
usually).

Hi

Please consider first to use the recent/upstream version of lvm2
(ATM either 2.02.187  or  2.03.10 or git  master/stable-2.0)

Unfortunately we can't be analyzing all the bugs from all the versions out 
there.

So please try to provide reproducer with versions listed above.
If you can't reproduced - then you may try to bisect to discover fixing patch.

If you need to fix a particular version on your distro,
you may need to ask your package maintainer to backport
list of patches for you.
In some case however this might be hard - aka it might be more efficient
to simply go with newer version.

Re: [linux-lvm] Issue after upgrading the LVM2 package from 2.02.176 to 2.02.180

Hi Roger,

I have tried this with the older LVM package(.176) and this issue was not
seen. Issue was seen with .180 version every time.

Re: [linux-lvm] Issue after upgrading the LVM2 package from 2.02.176 to 2.02.180

2020-09-14 Thread Roger Heflin
In general I would suggest fully disabling lvmetad from the config
files and from being started up.

Issues around it not answering (like above) and answering but somehow
having stale/wrong info have burned me too many times to trust it.  It
may be a lvmetad bug, or be udevd weirdness.

The only significant improvement it makes is it reduces the lvm
command time on installs with significant numbers of devices, but
given that the info has been wrong often enough that is not worth the
risk.
