Package: lvm2 Architecture: amd64 Version: 2.02.06-4 Severity: grave
Hi,
I am having an issue with lvm2 at shutdown. I am using an lvm over raid1
setup, all on local sata drives. There is no problems as long as I do
not try to use my external storage (coraid bd with large volume group on
it). If I vgscan / vgchange -a y that volume group, I will not be able
to shutdown properly anymore. That costed me a mangled /var partition,
which is why I placed a severity: grave.
Now, what happens on the system:
* start the network
* load aoe module
* vgscan / vgchange
* mount the partition
* do some useful work
* umount the partition
* vgchange -a n
* unload the aoe module (I had to add that to the init.d/aoetools, it
will be another bug report)
* shutdown the network
* watch LVM2 initscript lockup after displaying:
Shutting down LVM Volume Groups...
My guess is that is tries to shutdown the remote volumes even though
they are already disabled. If the aoe module where still loaded, I would
get a nice kernel panic (this is how I found that I had to unload the
module). But is there a way to remove a volume group from the list of
groups that lvm knows about, or better, get a list of active groups and
call vgchange -a n on each rather than the bulk, one call deal.
thanks
jacques
