Code regression caused corruption of thin snapshot, if the underlaying pool was created without zeroing (which is non-default option used in some particular cases).
As a consequence the first 4KB in the snapshot could have been invalided. This regression has been fixed.
Description of problem:
Can not create thin snapshots when pool is created with --zero n.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lvm2-2.02.99-0.367.el6_4.x86_64 (upstream)
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
#!/bin/bash
VG=vg
POOL=pool
ORIGIN=origin
SNAP=snap
OPTS="--zero n"
lvcreate --thin -L 2G $OPTS ${VG}/${POOL}
lvcreate --virtualsize 500M --thinpool ${VG}/${POOL} -n ${ORIGIN}
lvcreate -s /dev/${VG}/${ORIGIN} -n ${SNAP} -vvvv &> lvcreate-s-failed.$(date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S").out
Actual results:
Last lvcreate fails as snap device is not activated and can not be written to:
/dev/vg/snap: not found: device not cleared
Aborting. Failed to wipe snapshot exception store.
Expected results:
Pass
