lvm2 lvmetad hangs with 100% cpu

[Pirate Fibonacci <pirate112358@gmail.com>]

All,

I'm using fedora20. fresh install. I start with an empty volume group, vg-targetd

I've included some python code that reproduces the hang.

the script creats 11 logical volumes. attaches them to the BlockStorageObject from the rtslib. iscsi...

then we go in to a loop calling lvscan() about the 42 iteration, the program will hang with lvmetad going 100% cpu

using the lvm lib, I don't have this issue.

thanks

Jeffrey

        output.append(dict(volume_name=lv.name, size=int(lv.size()), uuid=lv.uuid))

# hangs after 42 iterations with 12 volumes
