Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2006:0434 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE device-mapper bug fix and enhancement update 2006-08-09 04:00:00 UTC

Description Jonathan Earl Brassow 2006-06-08 20:48:58 UTC 
A proper daemon will reparent itself to init.  This happens if you fork and the
parent exits (amoung other things).  However, clvmd never exits, so when
creating a mirror with clvmd running, a zombie process will be left if you
remove the mirror (or suspend/resume cycles happen).

We need to rewrite the way the daemon is launched.
Comment 2 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2006-06-21 21:28:04 UTC 
Waiting for patch to be added to LVM2/device-mapper
Comment 3 Alasdair Kergon 2006-07-04 20:40:39 UTC 
The launcher needs fixing to deal with SIGCHILD correctly.
Comment 4 Alasdair Kergon 2006-07-04 20:43:44 UTC 
Applying temporary workaround having dmeventd as separate binary.
