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.

Description Corey Marthaler 2015-08-20 18:45:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is a continuation from bug 1255171#c3.

# This works, but apparently isn't supposed to.
lvchange(8)
       --cachepolicy policy, --cachesettings key=value
              Only applicable to cached LVs; see also lvmcache(7). Sets the cache policy and its associated tunable settings. In most use-cases, default values should be adequate.


# This is supposed to work but doesn't?
lvconvert(8)
       --cachepolicy policy
              Only applicable to cached LVs; see also lvmcache(7). Sets the cache policy. mq is the basic policy name. sqm is more advanced version available in newer kernels.

** Both lvcreate(8) and lvconvert(8) have this "sqm" typo that needs to be fixed. **

Comment 2 Zdenek Kabelac 2015-08-24 08:20:13 UTC 
Missing part of cache enhancement for lvconvert - upstreamed via this commit:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2015-August/msg00165.html
Comment 4 Corey Marthaler 2015-10-08 13:54:47 UTC 
Checked that --cachepolicy does now work with both lvchange and lvconvert. Marking this bug verified in the latest rpms. However two bug regarding --cachepolicy still currently exist in 7.2 (bug 1269677 and bug 1269679).
