RHBA-2013:0385 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated system-config-lvm packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The system-config-lvm packages contain a utility for configuring logical volumes
(LVs) using a graphical user interface.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• When there was a RAID1 mirrored volume created using the lvm utility,

system-config-lvm did not start correctly. The underlying source code has been
modified to prevent system-config-lvm from terminating unexpectedly. The RAID1
volumes are now shown properly, however, they are visible as its underlying
logical volumes. (BZ#852864)

• During an attempt to work with a mirror log, the system-config-lvm utility

failed on start. This bug has been fixed and mirrored volumes are now supported
as expected. (BZ#820539)

• Due to a bug in the best_fit() function, which tried to fit all existing

logical volumes (LVs) into the display area, system-config-lvm did not start
correctly on systems with large amount of existing LVs. This bug has been fixed
and system-config-lvm is fully functional even on systems with more then 350
LVs. (BZ#840070)

All users of system-config-lvm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.
