Description of problem: It looks like the autobackup flag is always set to "n" whether the checkbox on the create VG dialog is checked or not. I added a debug print in CommandHandler.py before the vgcreate command (~line 95) to print out the value of autobackup_arg before the command is executed. Then created two volumes: one with the autobackup box checked and one without. Both times the autobackup_arg was 'n'. Point 2: The man page for vgcreate states that autobackup is on by default. So once this is working the box should be checked by default to be consistent with default command line behavior. Another strange note about this flag (and this is LVM-specific, not the GUI) is that whether you run with '-A y' or '-A n' the VG backup text file gets updated in /etc/lvm/backup/VGname when you make a change to the VG. If I understand this correctly LVM is running autobackup=y even when you specify you don't want it. 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:
Fixed in 0.9.4-1.0 by removing checkbox. LVM2 pkg maintainer wishes that the option to NOT backup metadata is never presented to the user.
Verified in system-config-lvm-0.9.6-1.0 that: - On new VG creation the Autobackup checkbox is not available - For each VG the backup is in fact on. Check /etc/lvm/backup/VGname.
