system-config-lvm bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-config-lvm package that fixes two bugs is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The system-config-lvm package contains a utility for configuring logical volumes
(LVs) using a graphical user interface.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- The system-config-lvm utility did not start correctly when there were too many
existing LVs and returned a traceback. This was due to a bug in the best_fit
function, which tried to fit all existing LVs into the display area. This update
modifies the underlying source code to make the system-config-lvm utility fully
functional even when there are more then 350 LVs existing on the system.
(BZ#834231)
- Initializing a disk via the system-config-lvm utility with an EFI GPT
partition table did not work correctly because the fdisk utility, which is used
by system-config-lvm to manipulate disk partition tables, does not support EFI
GPT partition tables. With this update, attempting to initialize a disk using an
EFI GPT partition table returns an informative error message. Support for EFI
GPT partition tables was not added. (BZ#700253)
All users of system-config-lvm are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
