Description Josef Bacik 2006-08-29 17:15:28 UTC
Description of problem:
My system has a local LV and clustered LV's.  On bootup when it's trying to do
the initial vgscan to activate any local LV's lvm.static will segfault.  If I go
back to the U3 version it does not segfault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.02.06-6.0.RHEL4

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a local FS on LVM
2. Have clustered LV's
3. Boot
  
Actual results:
lvm.static will segfault

Expected results:
it should not segfault

Additional info:
I got a core from the segfault.  I will look into this when I have more time,
but for now the bt is

the core I'm uploading was made on an x86_64 machine.

Comment 5 Josef Bacik 2006-08-29 22:38:00 UTC
Using locking_type=3 makes it so it does not segfault.

Comment 6 Josef Bacik 2006-08-29 22:39:20 UTC
btw it seems you can reproduce this panic easily while the system is running
with everything mounted.

Comment 11 Alasdair Kergon 2006-09-15 20:24:22 UTC

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 204793 ***

Comment 13 Alasdair Kergon 2006-09-15 20:32:10 UTC
fixed in cvs - see bug 204793 - fix will get picked up in next build

Comment 20 Alasdair Kergon 2006-11-27 21:30:34 UTC
There is a simple workaround in comment #5, so I see no point in doing a hotfix.

Comment 23 Alasdair Kergon 2007-01-30 14:35:58 UTC
Fixed in RHEL4.5
