thanks for the patch.
I've only compiled some of the kernels, since I'm still putting the
finishing touches on the patches. I'll try compiling all of them on a
spare machine and fix any problems, then repost the patches.

Thanks,
I tried the version of the 3 April and the new version of yesterday.
I applied the patches in the order provided by the "series" file, used
the standard fedora .config, but on both the versions I got this
compilation error:

I am missing something?
There are some kernel patches that you need. Either way, the DSO
shouldn't be crashing, so I'll look into that.
My temporary workaround was to check the number of returned arguments:

Hi All,
I was curious to try the experimental dmeventd + the mirror checking
dso.
Everytime I created a mirror volume, dmeventd was crashing when the
mirror finished the syncing process.
I tracked it down to _get_mirror_event that is expeting a return
string
from the status ioctl to dm like "2 253:4 253:5 400/400 1 AA 3
cluster
253:3 A" but it gets only "2 253:4 253:5 400/400" so it SIGSEGV when
is
going to read over the number of returned arguments in the "args"
array
from split_words.
The same string is returned by "dmsetup status".
Do these informations aren't already implemented in the ioctl, or are
there some patches around that I can try? (my kernel is the latest
available in fedora rawhide: 2.6.16-1.2131_FC6)
Another question, If I understand it correctly, the mirror library
for
dmeventd will look to possible problems (eg the lost of a PV
containing
a mirror), and it will call the right lvm command to fix it?
For example, if a PV containing a side of a 2 way mirrored volume is
lost, what are the various actions that it will do (I noticed an
lvreduce --removemissing, but my fear is that this command will also
remove unmirrored volumes)?
Thanks!
Bye!
Simone Gotti.
