Description Dean Jansa 2008-07-18 19:10:38 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #446260 +++

Description of problem:

HA-LVM will not run on ia64 due to the lvm.sh script looking for initrd in /boot
rather than /boot/efi/efi/redhat.   The resulting error in /var/log/messages is:
 May 13 14:26:42 link-14 clurgmgrd: [5556]: <err> HA LVM requires the initrd
image to be newer than lvm.conf


From lvm.sh:

 # Fixme: we might be able to perform a better check...
        if [ "$(find /boot/*.img -newer /etc/lvm/lvm.conf)" == "" ]; then
                ocf_log err "HA LVM requires the initrd image to be newer than
lvm.conf"
                return $OCF_ERR_GENERIC
        fi


The path in the find needs to be changed for ia64 or something along the lines of:

find /boot -name *.img -newer /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

which should work on all archs.

That find seems a bit suspect as well, as it finds any initrd which is newer
than lvm.conf.  Shouldn't it check the one you booted with is newer?

Yes, it should; but how do you find out which initrd was used?  I suppose you
could look in grub... gets a bit crazy.  Perhaps we can start with your suggestion.
Comment 1 Dean Jansa 2008-07-18 19:13:21 UTC 
The check is still looking in the wrong spot in ia64:


lvm.sh: if [ "$(find /boot/*.img -newer /etc/lvm/lvm.conf)" == "" ]; then

rgmanager-1.9.80-1
RHEL4-U7-re20080703.3 tree

Oops, there was a clone for RHEL4 already -- closing.
