Wendy's patch above has just been committed to the RHEL3 U3 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-15.4.EL). An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-433.html |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Red Hat Issue Tracker number: IT# 35830 Bug Reported by: Glen Johnson (IBM LTC) IBM Technical Account Manager: Mike Gahagan HardWare Environment: ppc64 The "pvmove" command uses the PE_LOCKED_COPY (0x4004fe51) ioctl to finish the move from one physical extent to another. Unfortunately, this ioctl has not been handled at all on ppc64 kernel and always return -EINVAL. If we add (hack) COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(PE_LOCKED_COPY) as: --- arch/ppc64/kernel.orig/ioctl32.c 2004-03-05 10:32:56.000000000 +0530 +++ arch/ppc64/kernel/ioctl32.c 2004-03-02 16:23:39.000000000 +0530 @@ -4366,6 +4366,7 @@ COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(VG_RENAME), COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(VG_REDUCE), COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(PE_LOCK_UNLOCK), +COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(PE_LOCKED_COPY), COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(PV_FLUSH), COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(LVM_LOCK_LVM), COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(LVM_GET_IOP_VERSION), then then "pvmove" completes without error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL3 (kernel-2.4.21-x.EL) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: On a ppc64 machine: 1. Create two physical volume, and then create a volume group on them. e.g. shell> parted #create 2 spare disk partitions - each 800MB. shell> vgscan #if first run of LVM shell> pvcreate /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 shell> vgcreate vg001 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 2. Create a logical volume, then create and mount a file system on it. e.g. shell> lvcreate -L 200M -n lv001 vg001 shell> mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg001/lv001 shell> mkdir /lvmtst shell> mount /dev/vg001/lv001 /lvmtst 3. Move the physical extent from one physical volume to another e.g. shell> pvdisplay -v /dev/sda5 shell> pvdisplay -v /dev/sda6 shell> pvmove -v /dev/sdc5 pvmove -- ERROR reading input physical volume "/dev/sdc5" (still 4194304 bytes to read) pvmove -- ERROR "pv_move_pe(): read input PV" moving physical extents Actual Results: The "pvmove" command fails with the following error messages: pvmove -- ERROR reading input physical volume "/dev/sdc5" (still 4194304 bytes to read) pvmove -- ERROR "pv_move_pe(): read input PV" moving physical extents Expected Results: The command (pvmove) finished successfully Additional info: 1. The x86 doesn't have this problem. 2. Experiments were done on p655.test.redhat.com (192.168.33.46). 3. Contact James Laska (QA Engineer) if you need machine access.
