Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2010-04-07 13:04:05 UTC
13:01:59,013 WARN kernel:lvm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0, oom_adj=0

Comment 3 James Laska 2010-04-07 13:06:16 UTC
This is just another case where 512M is not enough on an x86_64 system when performing LVM operations.

Comment 4 Peter Rajnoha 2010-05-10 10:17:41 UTC
From the log:
13:01:59,013 WARN kernel:lvm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0, oom_adj=0
...
13:01:59,014 WARN kernel: [<ffffffff810f782e>] sys_mlockall+0x96/0xc2
13:01:59,014 WARN kernel: [<ffffffff81009c72>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Yes, it seems to be another case with known mlockall problem. A few patches have already been sent upstream and it should be included in next F-13 release. Setting to POST then. If the bug appears again, please, reopen this report.
