RHBA-2009:1475 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated lvm2-cluster packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The lvm2-cluster packages contain support for Logical Volume Management
(LVM) in a clustered environment.

This update applies the following bug fixes:

• Make all tools use consistent lock ordering. This fixes vgextend command

to block instead of failing when requested Volume Group is locked read-only.

• Use read-only instead or write lock for lvchange --refresh.
• Adds global/wait_for_locks to lvm.conf so blocking for locks can be disabled.
• Fixes bug where non-blocking file locks could be granted in error.

Users of lvm2-cluster are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
