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.

Fixed In Version: lvm2-2.02.100-4.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when converting a linear logical volume to a mirror logical volume, the prefered mirror segment type set in the configuration file was not always honored. This has been corrected and the conversion will now properly use the segment type set by 'mirror_segtype_default' in the lvm configuration file, /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.

Upstream commit that resolves this issue

commit a6d13308ec0baca9a5bd48f80d02e5c71a54287f
Author: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow>

    RAID/MIRROR: Honor mirror_segtype_default when upconverting linear LVs
    
    If the user would upconvert a linear LV to a mirror without specifying
    the segment type ("--type mirror" vs "--type raid1"), the "mirror"
    segment type would be chosen without consulting the 'default_mirror_segtype'
    setting in lvm.conf.  This is now used as the basis for determining
    which should be used if left unspecified.

Comment 3 Nenad Peric 2013-08-14 11:38:24 UTC
Unfortunately, this does not seem to work:

[root@tardis-01 ~]# grep segtype /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
    # 'mirror_segtype_default' defines which segtype will be used when the
    mirror_segtype_default = "raid1"
    # 'raid10_segtype_default' determines the segment types used by default
    raid10_segtype_default = "mirror"
[root@tardis-01 ~]# lvcreate -n simple_lv mirror -L 250M
  Rounding up size to full physical extent 252.00 MiB
  Logical volume "simple_lv" created
[root@tardis-01 ~]# lvconvert -m1 mirror/simple_lv

  mirror/simple_lv: Converted: 100.0%

[root@tardis-01 ~]# lvs -a mirror/simple_lv -o +segtype

Comment 5 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2013-09-25 20:08:23 UTC
Why is this not triggered by the test suite?  These tests are in there:

FROM lvconvert-mirror.sh:
# convert from linear to 2-way mirror ("mirror" default type)
lvcreate -aey -l2 -n $lv1 $vg "$dev1"
lvconvert -i1 -m+1 $vg/$lv1 "$dev2" "$dev3:0-1" \
        --config 'global { mirror_segtype_default = "mirror" }'
lvs --noheadings -o attr $vg/$lv1 | grep '^m*'
lvremove -ff $vg

# convert from linear to 2-way mirror (override "raid1" default type)
lvcreate -aey -l2 -n $lv1 $vg "$dev1"
lvconvert -i1 --type mirror -m+1 $vg/$lv1 "$dev2" "$dev3:0-1" \
        --config 'global { mirror_segtype_default = "raid1" }'
lvs --noheadings -o attr $vg/$lv1 | grep '^m*'
lvremove -ff $vg


FROM lvconvert-raid.sh:
###########################################
# Linear to RAID1 conversion ("raid1" default segtype)
###########################################
lvcreate -aey -l 2 -n $lv1 $vg
lvconvert -m 1 $vg/$lv1 \
        --config 'global { mirror_segtype_default = "raid1" }'
lvs --noheadings -o attr $vg/$lv1 | grep '^r*'
lvremove -ff $vg

###########################################
# Linear to RAID1 conversion (override "mirror" default segtype)
###########################################
lvcreate -aey -l 2 -n $lv1 $vg
lvconvert --type raid1 -m 1 $vg/$lv1 \
        --config 'global { mirror_segtype_default = "mirror" }'
lvs --noheadings -o attr $vg/$lv1 | grep '^r*'
lvremove -ff $vg

Comment 6 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2013-09-25 20:54:16 UTC
It is the '*' in the grep expression - they are matching no matter what.

Changing:
lvs --noheadings -o attr $vg/$lv1 | grep '^r*'
to
lvs --noheadings -o attr $vg/$lv1 | grep '^r'

will fix the tests...

Comment 7 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2013-09-26 03:34:51 UTC
code and tests fixed in upstream commit:

commit 098896fb2905cd02d02b7271be489e32d86c073d
Author: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow>
Date:   Wed Sep 25 22:25:43 2013 -0500

    mirror/RAID: Honor mirror_segtype_default when converting from linear
    
    1) When converting from an x-way mirror/raid1 to a y-way mirror/raid1,
    the default behaviour should be to stay the same segment type.
    
    2) When converting from linear to mirror or raid1, the default behaviour
    should honor the mirror_segtype_default.
    
    3) When converting and the '--type' argument is specified, the '--type'
    argument should be honored.
    
    catch such conditions, but errors in the tests caused the issue to go
    unnoticed.  The code has been fixed to perform #2 properly, the tests
    have been corrected to properly test for #2, and a few other tests
    were changed to explicitly specify the '--type mirror' when necessary.
