lvm2app reports the stripe size of volumes incorrectly
Last modified: 2013-11-21 18:18:00 EST
Description of problem: The lvm2app library reports the stripe size of volumes incorrectly. ~# lvs --version LVM version: 2.02.98(2) (2012-10-15) Library version: 1.02.77 (2012-10-15) Driver version: 4.23.0 For example if I create a volume with 2 stripes of 128k: ~# lvcreate -i 2 -I 128 --extents 100 vg1 Logical volume "lvol0" created The lvs command gets it right: ~# lvs -o +stripe_size LV VG Attr LSize Pool Data% Move Log Copy% Convert Stripe lvol0 vg1 -wi-a---- 100.00m 128.00k However, the number from the library is as follows: value = lvm_lvseg_get_property(lvm_lvseg, "stripesize"); if (value.is_valid) qDebug() << "Stripe size: " << value.value.integer; Result: Stripe size: 256 The library seems to be reporting the number of sectors since 256 * 512 = 131072 bytes which is 128k. The error occures with any stripe size;
It appears that the chunksize property is also reported in sectors.
Sizes should be reported as uint64_t using byte units. Fixed upstream via this patch: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2012-December/msg00000.html
