Description Sandeep K. Shandilya 2006-09-21 15:40:22 UTC

Description of problem:
mkinitrd does not add lvm details even if the current installation is on an lvm
and clustering is enabled.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
beta1


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL5 beta1 on lvm
2. run a mkinitrd on the current kernel.
3. uncompress the initrd
  
Actual results:
The initrd does not contain the lvm modules and the init script in the initrd
does not load them.

Expected results:
The lvm components should be in the initrd.

Additional info:
vgscan doesn not run it exits with the message
Locking_type 2 initialisation failed.
Change the locking type to 1 /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and everything works fine.

Could you include the steps you used to enable clustering here?  We don't do
that in the installer, so there's some step you've left out, and I want to make
sure I'm addressing the correct scenario.

Hello

Clustering is not enabled on system as yet but the lvm.conf file has the line
locking_type=2 and all commands like vgscan abort with the message
Connect() failed on local socket: Connection refused
Locking type 2 Initialisation failed
If I edit lvm.conf and change locking_type=1 then everything works fine and the
initrd is correctly built.

We don't install with locking_type=2 .  How is it getting set to that value?

During installation there is a prompt for the serial no, I enter VCS (means I 
choose Virutalisation, Clustering and and Advanced Storage) and I see that 
locking type is set to 2 in lvm.conf. That may be the real issue.

Can you please try this with a more recent tree than beta1, and report if it's
still a problem?

tried with the latest weekly build with
mkinitrd version 5.1.19-1.
lvm2 or lvm2-clustering version 2.02.10-1.0.RHEL5
The issue does not occur. This has been fixed.
