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 2011-04-11 22:19:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
Starting in 6.1, we can create snapshots of mirrored volumes. However, we are not apparently able yet to convert volumes into snapshots of mirrored volumes. The error for attempting this should reflect that.


[root@grant-01 ~]# lvs -a -o +devices
 LV                VG         Attr   Log         Copy%  Devices
 origin            snapper    mwi-a- origin_mlog 100.00 origin_mimage_0(0),origin_mimage_1(0)

 [origin_mlog]     snapper    lwi-ao                    /dev/sdc2(0)
 snap_to_convert   snapper    -wi-a-                    /dev/sdb1(75)

[root@grant-01 ~]# lvconvert -s snapper/origin snapper/snap_to_convert
 Unable to create a snapshot of a mirrored LV.

That error isn't accurate since you can create snaps of mirrors. It should say something like:
 "Unable to convert an LV into a snapshot of a mirrored LV"

The error is better when to switch the volumes being converted (ie. attempt to convert a mirrored LV in a snap of a linear).

[root@grant-01 ~]# lvconvert -s snapper/snap_to_convert snapper/origin
 Unable to convert mirrored LV "origin" into a snapshot.
