Created attachment 1086562 [details] Tarball with logs Description of problem: I have a VM with many disks (26x /dev/vdX), PVs (11), 2 VGs, 36 LVs, 145 LVs including internal devices. Installer seems to be stuck, program log looks like an infinite cycle. After 12+ minutes is does finish scanning and after 5+ minutes of intensive activating/deactivating devices it is ready to continue. During the scanning anaconda spawned 8037 `lvm lvs --noheadings -o {pool_lv,data_lv,metadata_lv} ...` commands. Only 423 unique ones, so it is running each unique command on average 19 times (the average is exactly 19, so it is not only on average but running each command 19 times.) So it is running approximately 19x3 commands per each LV including internal ones. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-23.19.10-1 How reproducible: 100% Actual results: Installer GUI is not responsive, program log looks like runing in circles. Expected results: Installer should not run for 17 minutes. Additional info: See attached tarball for disk layout and anaconda logs. I wonder if something like `lvm lvs --noheading --nameprefixes --all -olv_name,pool_lv,data_lv,metadata_lv` would return results better suitable for machine consumption? Perhaps running through something like this `https://gist.github.com/csonto/8baa94a22b8625a83931` to produce JSON.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I believe this is no longer the case with LVM DBus and a few optimizations we did.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
