Description

From the man page for clvmd:
OPTIONS
-d [<value>]
Enable debug logging. Value can be 0, 1 or 2.
0 disables debug logging in a running clvmd
1 sends debug logs to stderr (clvmd will not fork in this case)
2 sends debug logs to syslog
If -d is specified without a value then 1 is assumed if you are
starting a new clvmd, 2 if you are enabling debug in a running
clvmd.
The real problem is the -d is overloaded. there should be a separate flag to indicate to clvmd that it should not fork. Can this be fixed as documented so I can debug startup timeouts? This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** There should be new option (as already mentioned in comment #2). Proposed patch here https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2011-January/msg00126.html (In reply to comment #0) > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. clvmd -d 2 > 2. clvmd should continue running while returning you to the command prompt. One important note: Please be aware of the fact that you have to use "clvmd -d2" not "clvmd -d 2" (leave the space out!). Fix verified in the latest rpms. * Note: like mentioned in comment #10, "clvmd -d2" not "clvmd -d 2" is what's required for this to work. "clvmd -d 2" evals to no argument, and thus is the same as -d1. 2.6.32-128.el6.x86_64 lvm2-2.02.83-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 lvm2-libs-2.02.83-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 lvm2-cluster-2.02.83-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 udev-147-2.35.el6 BUILT: Wed Mar 30 07:32:05 CDT 2011 device-mapper-1.02.62-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 device-mapper-libs-1.02.62-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 device-mapper-event-1.02.62-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 device-mapper-event-libs-1.02.62-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 cmirror-2.02.83-3.el6 BUILT: Fri Mar 18 09:31:10 CDT 2011 An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
