Description Mike McLean 2002-09-09 22:40:52 UTC
* -re0906.1

Got this traceback during an automated install test.  There was no lvm in this
install.  The previous install did not have lvm either (although it did have
root on /dev/md0 raid1).  The machine had run an lvm case earlier that day, but
afaict it had gone through about 9 successful installs of the same tree before
it hit this traceback.

Will attach details.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Comment 3 Mike McLean 2002-09-09 22:43:57 UTC
Is this related to bug#73112 ?

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2002-09-16 19:12:34 UTC
Yes.

There are still some cases where vgscan will segfault due to incomplete data
being left on the drives. I have a newer lvm package that ought to fix it.

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2002-11-13 20:28:22 UTC
lvm tools in current tree should help this problem.

Comment 6 Mike McLean 2002-12-10 17:43:07 UTC
Well, haven't hit this in a long time.  Closing.

Comment 7 Michael Fulbright 2002-12-20 17:38:25 UTC
Time tracking values updated
