+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #246516 +++ RHEL4.5 clone 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 ... -- Additional comment from mbroz on 2007-07-09 11:55 EST -- 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.)
My mistake - this bug is not present in the released packages for RHEL4.5. Already fixed upstream, so next release will not contain this bug.
