Hello List, I am using lvm2 v2.03.10(or v2.03.05), I setup a lvm2-lockd based (three nodes) cluster. I created PV, VG and LV, formated LV with a cluster file system (e.g. ocfs2). So far, all the things work well, I can write the files from each node. Next, I extended the online LV from node1, e.g. ghe-tw-nd1# lvresize -L+1024M vg1/lv1 WARNING: extending LV with a shared lock, other hosts may require LV refresh. Size of logical volume vg1/lv1 changed from 13.00 GiB (3328 extents) to 14.00 GiB (3584 extents). Logical volume vg1/lv1 successfully resized. Refreshing LV /dev//vg1/lv1 on other hosts... But, the other nodes cannot aware this LV size was changed, e.g. 2020-09-29 16:01:48 ssh ghe-tw-nd3 lsblk load pubkey "/root/.ssh/id_rsa": invalid format NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT vda 253:0 0 40G 0 disk ├─vda1 253:1 0 8M 0 part ├─vda2 253:2 0 38G 0 part / └─vda3 253:3 0 2G 0 part [SWAP] vdb 253:16 0 80G 0 disk ├─vdb1 253:17 0 10G 0 part ├─vdb2 253:18 0 20G 0 part │ └─vg1-lv1 254:0 0 13G 0 lvm /mnt/shared <<== here └─vdb3 253:19 0 50G 0 part 2020-09-29 16:01:49 ssh ghe-tw-nd2 lsblk load pubkey "/root/.ssh/id_rsa": invalid format NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT vda 253:0 0 40G 0 disk ├─vda1 253:1 0 8M 0 part ├─vda2 253:2 0 38G 0 part / └─vda3 253:3 0 2G 0 part [SWAP] vdb 253:16 0 80G 0 disk ├─vdb1 253:17 0 10G 0 part ├─vdb2 253:18 0 20G 0 part │ └─vg1-lv1 254:0 0 13G 0 lvm /mnt/shared <<== here └─vdb3 253:19 0 50G 0 part 2020-09-29 16:01:49 ssh ghe-tw-nd1 lsblk load pubkey "/root/.ssh/id_rsa": invalid format NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT vda 253:0 0 40G 0 disk ├─vda1 253:1 0 8M 0 part ├─vda2 253:2 0 38G 0 part / └─vda3 253:3 0 2G 0 part [SWAP] vdb 253:16 0 80G 0 disk ├─vdb1 253:17 0 10G 0 part ├─vdb2 253:18 0 20G 0 part │ └─vg1-lv1 254:0 0 14G 0 lvm /mnt/shared <<== LV size was changed on node1 └─vdb3 253:19 0 50G 0 part This behavior breaks our cluster high availability, we have to de-activate/activate LV to get LV size refresh. Is this behavior by-design? Could we extend the online LV automatically on each node (when any node triggers a LV resize command)?
