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.

Deactivating and then reactivating the volume group appears to fix this issue.

Comment 2 Peter Rajnoha 2010-07-09 12:08:51 UTC 
Yes, seems like a forgotten resume for a new device with a new name assigned so the change gets accounted for.

Just like in case of bug #612248, the problem is located in _split_mirror_image fn. So it seems this one really needs inspection and a few fixes :)

In the latest build the dm devices are only removed on the node that does the split operation. All other nodes continue to have the zombie dm devices.

Comment 9 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2010-08-12 22:31:39 UTC 
patch posted for review to lvm-devel
Comment 10 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2010-08-12 22:33:52 UTC 
problem is that the suspend/resume operations that cause the node issuing the 'lvconvert' to reload the dm devices locally has no effect remotely.  This is because the newly split LV has no entry in the lv_hash as required to do the suspend/resume operation.  It can only get into the hash via a activate_lv operation.  So, the patch replaces the suspend/resume with an activate_lv for the newly split LV.
Comment 11 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2010-08-16 18:06:16 UTC 
POST:

Fix for bug 612291: dm devices of split off mirror images are not removed

DM devices were not handled properly on nodes in a cluster that were not
where the splitmirrors command was issued.  This was happening because
suspend_lv/resume_lv were being used in a place where activate_lv should
have been used.

When the suspend/resume are issued on (effectively) new LVs, their
'resource' (UUID) is not located in the lv_hash.  Thus, both operations
turn into no-ops.  You can see this from the output of clvmd from one
of the remote nodes:
<snip>
CLVMD[3c7ed710]: Aug 12 17:01:44 do_suspend_lv, lock not already held
<snip>
CLVMD[3c7ed710]: Aug 12 17:02:03 do_resume_lv, lock not already held

'activate_lv' enjoins the other nodes in the cluster to process the lock
and activate the new LV.  clvmd output from remote node as follows:
CLVMD[776e5710]: Aug 12 16:53:21 do_lock_lv: resource 'zMseY7CBuO3Ty09vXlplPAHzD0Y0CovjrTdv0R1VcwggMwPdYhutHErRcwm5Nd2S', cmd = 0x19 LCK_LV_ACTIVATE (READ|LV|NONBLOCK), flags = 0x84 (DMEVENTD_MONITOR ), memlock = 1
CLVMD[776e5710]: Aug 12 16:53:21 sync_lock: 'zMseY7CBuO3Ty09vXlplPAHzD0Y0CovjrTdv0R1VcwggMwPdYhutHErRcwm5Nd2S' mode:1 flags=1
CLVMD[776e5710]: Aug 12 16:53:21 sync_lock: returning lkid 27b0001

Fix verified in the latest rpms.
