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 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:
