Dear LVM guys, I find an issue in the
LVM1 kernel code for function lvm.c::lvm_do_vg_create(): In the original code, the
vg_count will be increased only when this function is executed successfully.
But I think the vg_count should be increased after the variable
vg[VG_CHR(minor)] is updated. Given the reason that after the variable
vg[VG_CHR(minor)] is updated, for any failure case, lvm_do_vg_create() will
always call lvm_do_vg_remove() that will decrease the vg_count. So the vg_count
should be increased first before any call for lvm_do_vg_remove(). This issue did exist for
our product for our Best regards, More Index: lvm.c =================================================================== RCS file:
