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 2011-09-15 15:52:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
This bug originates from bug 733114, but I fear that 733114 is becoming just about the I/O errors that can occur with this operation and not about the fact the the operation still doesn't even work with the latest rpms. It seems that the more legs the mirror has, the greater the odds that split attempt will fail.

How reproducible:
Most of the time
Comment 1 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2011-09-16 16:45:03 UTC 
After the suspend/resume cycle following the split, sync_local_dev_names() must be called to settle udev before calling deactivate_lv.  This avoids udev opening the device and colliding with the removal.

Fix passes 1000 iterations of 4-way mirror creation followed by 3 sequential single leg split-offs.

Checked-in upstream in Version 2.02.89
Comment 2 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2011-09-16 18:41:26 UTC 
git commit id:
5c11544dc10212f5839dde0c97ec86be32c2b4c5
Comment 3 Corey Marthaler 2011-09-19 20:48:22 UTC 
This issue appears to apply to a broader list of lvconvert operations then just --splitmirrors. Mirror leg and log conversion also appears to be broken, which affects device failure and conversion testing. Hopefully the fix for this mentioned in comment #1 affects the other convert options as well.
Comment 5 Corey Marthaler 2011-09-23 16:59:06 UTC 
I ran many iterations of the split image test cases, and although there were still problems like bug 733114 occuring, I no longer saw the "LV in use: not deactivating; Failed to deactivate former mirror image" error. Marking verified with the latest rpms.
