3.46. lvm2

Bug Fixes

BZ#204997

Prior to this update, the user had to specify major number together with minor number when using persistent (-My/--persistent y) device numbers for logical volumes (LVs). However, in kernel versions higher than 2.4, the "--major" option is ignored because the kernel now assigns major numbers by itself. This behavior cannot be overridden. Now, when specifying the persistent minor number with the "lvcreate/lvchange -My/--persistent y --minor !" command, the user no longer needs to specify the major number with the "--major" argument. If the "--major" argument is used, the user is now informed by the following message:

"Ignoring supplied major number - kernel assigns major numbers dynamically. Using major number <major number assigned by kernel> instead."

BZ#1053849

Previously, if the pvmove command was executed on clustered volume groups, temporarily activated pvmove devices were activated on all nodes. This was incorrect and in some situations, such as using tags or HA-LVM configuration, it caused pvmove failures. With this update, pvmove activates all needed pvmove devices exclusively when moving logical volumes are already exclusively activated.

Enhancement

BZ#569511

Previously, the lvm-dumpconfig utility displayed the whole configuration but without the logical volume (LVM) configuration tags set for the host. This update introduces the "lvm tags" command which displays the configuration tags set for the current host including the tag configuration which is used on the host.
