1.114.1. RHBA-2009:1476: bug-fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2009:1476
Updated lvm2 packages that fix bugs are now available.
The lvm2 packages contain support for Logical Volume Management (LVM).
This update applies the following bug fixes:
* Adds new option prioritise_write_locks in lvm.conf. Without enabling this option, whenever there are
competing read-only and read-write access requests for a volume group's metadata, the write access
may be stalled by a high volume of read-only requests.
NOTE: This option only affects locking_type 1 (local file-based locking).
* Make all tools use consistent lock ordering. This fixes vgextend command to block instead of failing
when requested Volume Group is locked read-only.
* Use read-only instead or write lock for lvchange --refresh.
* Adds global/wait_for_locks to lvm.conf so blocking for locks can be disabled.
* Fixes bug where non-blocking file locks could be granted in error.
All users of lvm2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
