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 Matthew Sakai 2021-06-23 21:42:01 UTC
Description of problem:

Index state is not saved correctly during certain period after converting a managed VDO to an LVM VDO.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new VDO with vdo script and write 150G of unique data (set A) to it.
2. Close the VDO, convert it to an LVM VDO.
3. Write 150G more unique data (set B) to the VDO.
4. Close the VDO and reopen it.
5. Write set B to the VDO again.

Actual results:

Shortly into the final write, VDO should log an assertion failure about virtual chapter numbers, followed by the VDO recreating the index. Most or all of the last write will not deduplicate.

Expected results:

No error is logged. set B data deduplicates completely.
