Description Derek Anderson 2004-10-26 18:09:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
I noticed there is code for checking duplicate VG naming and that it
was not catching duplicate names.  Did a little debugging on this:

ok_new_vg() calls query_VGs() to get the existing Volume Groups. 
query_VGs() gets output in this format:

"  VG1,1,0,0,wz--n,135.66,135.66"

splits on commas and puts words 0, 4, and 5 in a structure.  Back in
ok_new_vg it's then comparing "VG1" to "  VG1" and not matching. 
Stripping whitespace in query_VGs should remedy this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-lvm-0.9.1-2.5

Looks like the same thing exists in the following procedures with
potential for other problems:

query_PEs()
get_free_space_on_VG()

could use 'name = words[0].strip()'

Fixed in 0.9.4-1.0
Comment 3 Derek Anderson 2004-11-04 16:08:53 UTC 
Verified in system-config-lvm-0.9.6-1.0:

"A Logical Volume with the name HOMER already exists in this Volume
Group. Please choose a unique name."
