Doc Text:
New parameters introduced to VDO volume configuration files in RHEL 7.6 previously broke compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5. Consequently, the vdo utility failed to read the configuration file, and the VDO volume was not started. With this update, the problem has been fixed, and vdo is now able to start the old VDO volume as expected.

Description Oneata Mircea Teodor 2018-08-21 09:57:48 UTC

Comment 2 Joe Shimkus 2018-08-21 14:33:12 UTC
Merged changes.

Comment 4 Jakub Krysl 2018-09-07 13:35:06 UTC
tested with: 
kmod-kvdo-6.1.0.185-17.el7_5.x86_64
vdo-6.1.0.185-18.x86_6

Adding new lines and values to config does not prevent vdo from starting anymore.

The description reasonable captures the issue.
