Fixed In Version: imgbased-1.0.17

Previously, imgbased filtered out stderr from LVM commands to improve parsing reliability. In this release, imgbased now logs stderr from LVM commands in order to provide this information in the imgbased logs, for example during an upgrade failure.

#imgbase check

Comment 1 Ryan Barry 2018-05-02 18:45:16 UTC 
imgbased already logs detailed information in /tmp/imgbased.log or /var/log/imgbased.log, depending on the version.

Are you expecting this to appear in RHVM, or just the stderr in the logs?

'imgbase check' should not be creating LVs.
Comment 3 Yaning Wang 2018-06-04 10:01:18 UTC 
Verify Steps:

from rhvh-4.1-0.20180126.0
upgrade to rhvh-4.2.3.1-0.20180531.0

Results:

upgrade failed due to no enough space

stderr be captured in `imgbased.log`
