Hi In RHEL 5.5, when executing "lvchange --monitor n -ay vg2/test_long", dmevetd is not started, but lvm still passes "block_on_error" flag to dm-raid1 target. The table looks like this. vg2-test_long: 0 65536 mirror disk 3 253:4 1024 block_on_error 2 253:5 0 253:6 0 I think it is a bug that can cause deadlocks, because if dmeventd doesn't handle the failure and "block_on_error" flag is used the I/Os are blocked forever. Should I file a RHEL bug for this? Or do you have some other explanation for it?
