Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated lvm2-cluster package that fixes several bugs and adds
enhancements is now available.
Description
The lvm2-cluster package contains support for Logical Volume Management
(LVM) in a clustered environment.
This update ensures that the bugs fixed by the lvm2 advisory RHBA-2009:8160
are also fixed in a clustered environment.
This updated package applies the following bug fixes:
- Several bugs in the clvmd daemon that could cause the daemon to hang or
crash, have been resolved.
- Fixes uninitialized mutex in clvmd if all daemons are not running at
start up.
- Make clvmd refresh its internal state correctly when "lvm.conf" is updated.
- Make clvmd return at once if other nodes down in a gulm or openais cluster.
Also, this updated package adds the following enhancements:
- More detailed error messages. Many unnecessary error messages are now
suppressed.
- Updated man page and mention of the default "--clustered" setting in the
vgcreate man page.
- pvmove is now supported in a clustered VG if clustered mirroring support
is installed (kmod-cmirror).
- Indicate whether or not a VG is clustered in vgcreate log messages.
- clvmd now maintains local backups of VG metadata on each node.
- Decodes numbers in clvmd debugging output.
- Doesn't call openlog for every debug line output by clvmd.
Users of lvm2-cluster are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues and add these enhancements.
