RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2021-03-01 10:30:02 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1930996 +++

Description of problem:
lvcreate fails to wipe signatures of logical volume in rhel8.4. We hit this issue in rhel8.3 for the first time, and then it was fixed. Please refer to bug 1869118 and bug 1868169. Right now we encountered this issue again.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.44.0-1.module+el8.4.0+9398+f376ac33.x86_64
lvm2-2.03.11-4.el8.x86_64
kernel-4.18.0-287.el8.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%


Steps:

Here is the one-line reproducer:

$ guestfish -N lvfs vgremove VG : vgcreate VG /dev/sda1 : lvcreate LV2 VG 100
libguestfs: error: lvcreate: WARNING: ext2 signature detected on /dev/VG/LV2 at offset 1080. Wipe it? [y/n]: [n]
  Aborted wiping of ext2.
  1 existing signature left on the device.
  Failed to wipe signatures on logical volume VG/LV2.
  Aborting. Failed to wipe start of new LV.

Adding -vx options shows what command is actually run:

commandrvf: lvm lvcreate -L 100 -n LV2 VG

We don't use the --yes option, and perhaps we should.

There is bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1894692 which is a new
regression against RHEL 8.4.  But it seems that LVM has not really been fixed
again, since QA is now always using the --yes option.

Comment 3 YongkuiGuo 2021-04-19 06:41:07 UTC 
rjones, do you plan to fix this bug in RHEL-8.5? The same bug has been fixed in RHEL-8.4 AV.
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-04-20 07:14:48 UTC 
Yes, I'll build it now.
Comment 8 YongkuiGuo 2021-05-10 03:44:44 UTC 
Verified with package:
libguestfs-1.40.2-28.module+el8.5.0+10717+67be7ac4.x86_64


Steps:

1.
$ guestfish -N lvfs vgremove VG : vgcreate VG /dev/sda1 : lvcreate LV2 VG 100

No error like "error: lvcreate: WARNING: ext2 signature detected on /dev/VG/LV2 at offset 1080. Wipe it? [y/n]: [n]"
