RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Some invocations of lvconvert referring to a cache pool LV that was of the wrong type could trigger an internal error. To remedy the problem, lvconvert now offers to convert the LV to a cache pool and when declined, cleanly aborts the operation.

Comment 2 Alasdair Kergon 2014-06-05 22:33:58 UTC
Yes - that should have been trapped cleanly before encountering that internal error.

Comment 3 Petr Rockai 2014-10-06 06:01:34 UTC
This no longer happens with current upstream code: lvconvert instead offers to convert the LV to a cachepool and when declined, cleanly aborts the operation.

Comment 6 Nenad Peric 2014-11-21 14:09:38 UTC
The behavior noticed with version 112-1 is as described in Comment #3:
