This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping The solution provided before was not complete. Also, the PV code has changed a little since then. I'll try to revisit the problem and do appropriate changes. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'.

(In reply to comment #6) > Any progress on this? This bug still exists in version LVM2 2.02.83. Yes, a new set of patches enabling this were posted on lvm-devel: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2011-January/msg00163.html ...making further clean up and editings based on the review and comments. The patches are in upstream now. We only allow resizing PVs with two metadata areas that are not part of a VG yet (for resizing PVs in a VG, we need to add more infrastracture for making this safe). Well, OK, but I hardly think this counts as "fixed", since resizing a PV that isn't part of a VG was never difficult to start with: delete it, resize the underlying device, and recreate it. The interesting case is resizing PVs that *are* part of VGs, because that's something you can't do any other way if there are multiple MDAs. Agreed - another step is needed to finish this off. OK, resizing a PV with 2 mdas that is part of a VG is possible now. I've just committed a simple patch removing the restriction we had in the code. However if either the PV or the VG write fails in the process for any reason, we need to revert to previous state manually using pvcreate and vgcfgrestore (a simple error message/hint is now provided in case such error occurs - for example, the same principle is applied in vgconvert which uses PV write together with VG write). Providing a solution for PV label write together with VG metadata write with automatic revert is another piece of work since that would be used in more situations, not just the pvresize one... In rawhide since lvm2 v2.02.85. |
