lstat failed errors - .cache contains invalid items
Last modified: 2013-02-28 23:05:49 EST
Description of problem: During lvm regression testing there is a test case that attempts to create 32 mirrors all with the names "thirty_[1-32]" and lately whenever I attempt to create a mirror with that name I get a "lstat failed" error even though the creation works. If I try a different name, I don't see the error. I didn't notice any left over entries in the device-mapper listings and I have deleted both the lvm/backup and lvm/archive directories. lvcreate -m 1 -n thirty_1 -vvvv -L 100M mirror_sanity /dev/mirror_sanity/thirty_1_mlog: lstat failed: No such file or directory Logical volume "thirty_1" created Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-27.el5 lvm2-2.02.26-1.el5 How reproducible: everytime
Created attachment 158368 [details] lvmdump before the creation
Created attachment 158369 [details] lvmdump after the creation
Created attachment 158370 [details] verbose -vvvv output from creation
There are invalid devices left in /etc/lvm/cache/.cache file, removing .cache helps.
I see this on RHEL4 too when using lvconvert on mirror and converting from core log to disk log (even if .cache is removed before this operation). (But it is seems that problem is in .cache use anyway.)
