Description of problem: Create a new VG with Maximum Physical Volumes of 1. Select an Unallocated Volume, click Add to existing Volume Group, select the VG you just created and click Add. The GUI remains at the "Add Physical Volume to VG"; no apparent error from this perspective. On the command line you get the traceback: No space for '/dev/sdd1' - volume group '1PV' holds max 1 physical volume(s). Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sdd1' to volume group '1PV'. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/InputController.py", line 810, in on_ok_add_pv_to_vg errorMessage(e.getMessage) NameError: global name 'errorMessage' is not defined It would be nice if the first line (or two) of this were returned to the user in an Error dialog. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-lvm-0.9.1-2.5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This is fixed in 0.9.8-1.0, by informing user that the max number of PVs or LVs has been allocated, and that no more are allowed. Down the road, a better way would be to not allow buttons and/or tree elements associated with VGs that have maxed out from being sensitive to selection, but this will work great for now (and, perhaps, is more informative as to why the operation is not possible).
Verified in system-config-lvm-0.9.8-1.0. "The number of Physical Volumes in this Volume Group has reached its maximum limit."
