Description of problem:
Basically CLVM was setup on one of the nodes, and then another node came up and it was getting a connect() failed error.  the only way to resovle was to set the locking type to one.

See the output from a run of lvcreate on twedldum...

  Aborting. Failed to activate snapshot exception store. Remove new LV

      Locking V_vg0 at 0x6

However, on twedldum-
vgdisplay -vvv shows:
vg0 UUID: zxDALJ-yxHm-oZQ6-qxuh-o4QM-fvZu-qU9Gbu
vg0/var_snapshot UUID: qAh32l-uObi-nFHZ-g1Cm-2LbP-jx0r-tGep2X

LVM2 is trying to lock /vg0/var_snapshot on twedldee (the other node)!
This is impossible because it is a local disk.  Twedldee gets the UUID
and says "WTF is that" return a locking failure.  We don't see the error
because it would be generated on the other node.

What's happening on clvmd startup is that locking is failing for local
filesystems but clvmd only "sees" the "lock failure" state.  I think this is generating the connect failure messages somehow.  It is
probably assuming that the other node has a lock on the non-clustered VG freaks out and reports it as a connect failure.

vgchange -ay then goes into a dead-lock situation waiting for the other node to relase the lock the first node thinks its holding.  This will never happen because clvmd on the other node has no knowledge of the first nodes local filesystem UUIDs.  Therefor, clvmd startup ends up in a deadlock situation for a local VG that doesn't need locking in the first place!

LVM2 Logic should be added/corrected so that it ignores cluster locking
when addressing non-clustered volumes.  Non-clustered volume groups have
a special "clustered" status whereas local volumes do not.  Perhaps this
state can be used in some way?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lvm2-cluster-2.0.1.09-3.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup CLVM on one node
2.Bring up another node
3.
  

Actual Results:  The other node can't see the CLVM stuff and cannot start CLVM

Expected Results:  The other node shouldn't get these errors.

Comment 2 Christine Caulfield 2005-08-15 08:13:49 UTC
Did you mark the VG non-clustered ?

vghcnage -cn vg0

Comment 3 Chris Evich 2005-08-15 13:49:27 UTC
Not AFAIK, the only clustered filesystem is alice on e0.0, vg0 is the local VG.
 Output of vgdisplay doesn't indicate vg0 is clustered, only alice.  Though I
just noticed, alice does not show as "Shared", could that be relivant to this issue?

  Volume group "vg0" is already not clustered
[root@twedldum ~]# vgchange -cy /dev/alice

A fix for this is in CVS, but I'm not sure when it will arrive in a package.
