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.

    lvextend: enable resize of writecached LV


Missing lvm tests.
Comment 2 David Teigland 2021-05-06 19:48:00 UTC 
Created a new test "lvextend-caches" that tests lvextend of an LV with an attached cache|writecache:

Comment 6 Corey Marthaler 2021-06-01 16:18:21 UTC 
Marking Verified:Tested in the latest lvm rpms.

SCENARIO - [open_XFS_on_writecache_origin_fsadm_resize_attempts]
Create a writecached XFS filesystem, mount it, snapshot it, and resize the ORIGIN while online

*** Writecache info for this scenario ***
*  origin (slow):  /dev/sdh1
*  pool (fast):    /dev/sdk1
************************************

Adding "slow" and "fast" tags to corresponding pvs
Create origin (slow) volume
lvcreate --yes --wipesignatures y  -L 4G -n cworigin writecache_sanity @slow

Create writecache cvol (fast) volumes
lvcreate --yes  -L 4G -n pool writecache_sanity @fast

Deactivate *ONLY* fast pool before conversion to write cache (SEE bug 1185347)
Create writecached volume by combining the cache pool (fast) and origin (slow) volumes
lvconvert --yes --type writecache --cachesettings 'low_watermark=9 high_watermark=58 writeback_jobs=1020 autocommit_blocks=2170 autocommit_time=2772' --cachevol writecache_sanity/pool writecache_sanity/cworigin
Placing an XFS filesystem on origin volume
Mounting origin volume

Writing files to /mnt/cworigin
Checking files on /mnt/cworigin
Making snapshot of origin volume
lvcreate --yes  -s /dev/writecache_sanity/cworigin -c 16 -n online_resize -L 500M
Resize the open snapshoted ORIGIN XFS filesystem multiple times with lvextend/fsadm on hayes-01
RESIZING CACHE VOLUMES IS NOW SUPPORTED IN 8.5
