Description Bill Nottingham 2010-02-16 21:34:23 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #561938 +++


Installing with default partitioning (use entire drive, lvm based) gives an error message after rebooting into installed system:
Setting up Logical Volume Management:   File-based locking initialisation failed.
  /dev/mapper/vg_ibmjs206-lv_swap: lsetfilecon failed: Permission denied
  2 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_ibmjs206" now active
[  OK  ]

OK, after further investigation, there was a slight change in v 2.02.60 - it adds more messages when locking initialisation fails. But when booting, we use "--ignorelockingfailure" option because the filesystem is remounted read-write only later on within the boot process.

So we just need to suppress those messages when "--ignorelockingfailure" is used since the "failure" is expected.

(..however, the symptoms were very similar to the bug with lvm library I've described before. So if you install udisks package you'll see the same :))

--- Additional comment from prajnoha on 2010-02-15 14:24:08 EST ---

We have added LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable to disable those warnings and errors if needed. The patch has been posted to upstream lvm2.

I notified the initscript team to use this in the rc.sysinit, so I'm waiting for the response now...

Cloning for rawhide to get a better fix rather than settng a magic environment variable.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-03-15 15:08:06 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.

A new --sysinit option has been added for vgchange and lvchange to provide a single shortcut for setting all options needed, including the functionality of LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES.

It should appear in next lvm2 release (rc.sysinit will be changed accordingly to use this option instead of all the ones it uses today to provide better maintenance with respect to lvm2).
