Description of problem: Using system-config-lvm to create new logical volume, the GUI would hang if: * the lv size is above 30GB; and * filesystem (say ext3) is selected. If the filesystem is specified as "none", it works without troubles. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-lvm-1.0.3-1.0 How reproducible: each time and every time Additional info: 1) customer used strace and found it hung at mkfs. 2) I did gdb attach, it hung at pthread's __write_nocancel(): #0 0x000000383cc0af22 in __write_nocancel () from /lib64/tls/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x000000383c6afd36 in PyOS_AfterFork () from /usr/lib64/libpython2.3.so.1.0 #2 0x000000383c6896df in _PyEval_SliceIndex () from /usr/lib64/libpython2.3.so.1.0 #3 0x000000383c689ba1 in _PyEval_SliceIndex () from /usr/lib64/libpython2.3.so.1.0 .. (other deleted).
Forgot to say, I ran this on x86_64 machine and cww (our TAM) also recreated this issue on i686. So it is not platform dependent.
