Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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 of problem:

During restoration of a storage layout with LVM, this message appears in the log:
/var/lib/rear/layout/diskrestore.sh: line <n>: <vg>: command not found

where <vg> is a volume group name.

This is because of this line in usr/share/rear/layout/prepare/GNU/Linux/110_include_lvm_code.sh

if IsInArray $vg \"\${create_logical_volumes[@]}\" && ! \$IsInArray $vg \"\${create_thin_volumes_only[@]}\" ; then

which after quote removal becomes this in disklayout.sh

... $IsInArray $vg "${create_thin_volumes_only[@]}"

and this is equivalent to just $vg "${create_thin_volumes_only[@]}", because $IsInArray does not exist (IsInArray is a shell function, not a variable). The line should read just

if IsInArray $vg \"\${create_logical_volumes[@]}\" && ! IsInArray $vg \"\${create_thin_volumes_only[@]}\" ; then

This problem does not exist upstream, I probably backported an old version of the change in https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2691.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6

How reproducible:

for the message: recovery of a system with LVM, most likely it depends on migration mode being in use (MIGRATION_MODE=TRUE)

Not sure what to do to trigger an actual problem, probably it involves a thin pool.

On a further examination, the problem will make a difference only if $vg is in the ${create_thin_volumes_only[@]} array and the LV is not thin. This would happen only with FORCE_VGCFGRESTORE=yes and with a VG that has a thin pool and also a non-thin LV. Also, MIGRATION_MODE must be off.
