Hi, this was brought up before in https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg87598.html We recently got bug reports about the same issue, and it was only yesterday that I finally managed to reproduce it in a VM. My reproduction steps are: - add a scsi device to a vm (not virtio). Maybe works with sata too, but scsi reproduced it - add it to an LVM VG, and create an LV - run blkmapd -f: # blkmapd -f blkmapd: open pipe file /run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/blocklayout failed: No such file or directory double free or corruption (out) Aborted (core dumped) The "No such file or directory" has nothing to do with it. You can "modprobe blocklayoutdriver" to get rid of it, but the invalid free() still happens. in 2.6.1, gdb shows: #9 0x00005555555571e5 in bl_add_disk (filepath=0x7fffffffd480 "/dev/dm-2") at device-discovery.c:232 232 free(serial->data); (gdb) l 227 disk->dev = dev; 228 disk->size = size; 229 disk->valid_path = path; 230 } 231 if (serial) { 232 free(serial->data); 233 free(serial); 234 } 235 } 236 return; As lixiaokeng said in that first post, this should be just free(serial). Or use bl_free_scsi_string(), like his suggested patch does.
