lvm2-cluster bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

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

This update ensures that the bugs fixed by the lvm2 advisory are also fixed
in a clustered environment.

This update applies the following bug fixes:

• Fixes pvmove abort to be cluster-aware when temporary mirror activation
  fails.
  
• Always query active device by using uuid only in cluster.
  
• Unlocks shared lock in clvmd if device activation call failed.
  
• Fixes clvmd to never scan suspended devices.
  
• Never uses distributed lock for LV in non-clustered VG.
  
• Fixes clvmd memory leak in lv_info_by_lvid.
  
• Fixes clvmd segfault when refresh_toolcontext fails.
  
• Makes clvmd return 0 on success rather than 1.
  

This update adds the following enhancements:

• Propagates commit and revert metadata notifications to other nodes in
  cluster.
  
• Allows implicit convert to the same cluster lock mode.
  
• Adds LSB standard headers and functions to clvmd initscript.
  

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