Summary: Systems with mirrored LVM drives do need labeling https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473136 Summary: Systems with mirrored LVM drives do need labeling Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: release-notes AssignedTo: relnotes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: jjcogliati-r1@xxxxxxxxx QAContact: kwade@xxxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora In the release notes section 2.1.4.2 for Fedora 10, it says "Systems that use Logical Volume Management (LVM) and the device mapper usually do not require relabeling." This is incorrect if you have a mirrored LVM partition, since the UUID for the mirrored partition is not unique: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvol0_mimage_1: UUID="c9bee71a-ebda-4357-a509-cd92e4a60697" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvol0_mimage_0: UUID="c9bee71a-ebda-4357-a509-cd92e4a60697" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvol0: UUID="c9bee71a-ebda-4357-a509-cd92e4a60697" TYPE="ext3" LABEL="mirrored" SEC_TYPE="ext2" If there is no label, with the UUID mount can pick up one of the mirror images (lvol0_mimage_1 or lvol0_migage_0) which will fail. This is probably a bug in blkid or anaconda as well, so I will file one under blkid. For the release notes, it should probably mention that mirrored LVM partitions do need to be labeled. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
