Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 600639
fails lvm-snapshot schroot (snapshot-name)
Last modified: 2010-06-28 13:19:46 EDT
Description of problem: Fails to create a schroot with type=lvm-snapshot because the default logical name of the created snapshot is illegal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): schroot-1.2.3-8.fc13.i686 + applied workaround from bug #600636 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the same schroot definition as in bug #600636 2. Try to enter this schroot: [oron@radon ~]$ schroot -c test-f13 E: test-f13-2010-06-05T09:55:21Z-532: Failed to lock chroot: /dev/vg_radon/lv_f-13: Failed to lock device: Failed to lock device Additional info: 1. The problem is the ':' is an illegal character in logical volume name. This can be easily verified by trying to create one manually (as root): lvcreate -n "foo:bar" vol_group_name 2. The name is created in session::run_impl() (line 547) 3. The code can generate UUID based name instead, which solves the problem: - Simply adding "BuildRequires: libuuid-devel" to schroot.spec is good. (when configure detects libuuid headers, it uses this code) - Debian lenny also use it as can be seen from the lvm-snapshot names generated. 4. I still think the non-libuuid code is an upstream bug.
Thanks Oron. This bug was already reported upstream on 5/30 as debian bug #583504. The BuildRequires: libuuid-devel workaround is already in place in the rawhide version of schroot. I'll try to get an update into F13 and F12 soon.
While having a libuuid-devel BR will fix this nicely, I've also fixed the underlying issue in upstream git and this should be in a new release within the week once I've done some further testing. I've basically switched from using ISO-8601-formatted dates to UNIX time [time(2)] output for chroot session names in the absence of UUID support. This has the same time resolution, but won't use the illegal characters seen in the ISO-8601 date. Regards, Roger
