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.

Bug 1261071

Summary:	Reproducible LVM errors on a few systems when .cache file contains a device that is no longer on the system

Fixed In Version:	lvm2-2.02.118-3.el6_7.3	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	When the /etc/lvm/cache/.cache file contained an entry that no longer existed, the code read an uninitialised structure which lead to unreliable behaviour. This bug exposed itself as messages with undefined major and minor numbers. For example: /dev/nonexistent_device: stat failed: No such file or directory Path /dev/nonexistent_device no longer valid for device(0,1) This has been fixed and nonexistent devices are handled correctly while reading the .cache file. The messages referencing undefined (major,minor) pair are not generated and unitialized structures are not used anymore.	Story Points:	---
