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 2016-06-17 16:31:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
Filing a low severity bug about the amount of time it takes to start the initial global lock. Would it be possible to print a warning in this specific case like "This operation may take awhile..." to prevent the user from thinking this operation may be deadlocked? vgchange does appear to know that this is the case with the "lockspace not found or started" warning.


[root@mckinley-04 ~]# time vgchange --lock-start global
  Skipping global lock: lockspace not found or started
  VG global starting sanlock lockspace
  Starting locking.  Waiting until locks are ready...

real    2m42.135s
user    0m0.019s
sys     0m0.055s


Additional starts take roughly 20 seconds:
[root@mckinley-04 ~]#  time vgchange --lock-start cache_sanity
  VG cache_sanity starting sanlock lockspace
  Starting locking.  Waiting until locks are ready...

real    0m23.211s
user    0m0.021s

Comment 1 David Teigland 2016-06-17 16:40:46 UTC 
Yes, a warning about the time length or even a countdown would be beneficial and quick to add.

For 7.4 I'm thinking about ways to shorten/skip the sanlock delays for adding a lockspace and for waiting for failed leases.
