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 Corey Marthaler 2010-06-23 20:23:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
I had a redundant log mirror and failed the secondary leg of that log. The allocate fault policy doesn't work because that failure causes a down convert to a single disk log and upconverting logs isn't implemented yet.

Comment 1 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2010-06-30 13:31:14 UTC 
Won't have time to fix in 6.0 - will wait til 6.1.  If a user wishes to maintain their mirrored log, they will have to convert to 'core' log and then to 'mirrored' log for now.

It is now possible for a mirror log to be converted from "disk" to "mirrored".
Comment 8 Corey Marthaler 2011-03-10 22:48:27 UTC 
Fix verified in the latest rpms. All the helter_skelter test cases with mirror
leg as well as mirrored log leg failures have been turned back on and executed with the expectation that the log leg allocation policy will work.
