Description Thomas Blume 2018-06-27 14:42:12 UTC

On a current tumbleweed, /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90lvm/module-setup.sh explicitly excludes lvmetad from the initrd.
Still, pvscan fails with duplicate volume errors, if lvmetad isn't running.
Working case with lvmetad enabled:

-->
d87:~ # systemctl is-active lvm2-lvmetad
active
d87:~ # pvscan
  PV /dev/md1    VG mortlach        lvm2 [40,00 GiB / 0    free]
  PV /dev/sdc1   VG iscsibackend    lvm2 [800,00 GiB / 730,00 GiB free]
  Total: 2 [840,00 GiB] / in use: 2 [840,00 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]
-->

Failing case with lvmetad disabled:

-->
d87:~ # systemctl stop lvm2-lvmetad
Warning: Stopping lvm2-lvmetad.service, but it can still be activated by:
  lvm2-lvmetad.socket

Due to the duplicate pv error, the volumes cannot be enabled.
That means the boot fails if system root is on softraid backed lvm.
I've tried several filter and global_filter setting in lvm.conf, but they don't seem to have any effect without lvmetad.

sorry, my mistake.
Duping old reports to newer reports is rude

Comment 6 heming zhao 2019-10-18 09:44:57 UTC

This bug target is for tumbleweed. 
I had pushed lvm2 latest codes (lvm2-2.03.05+) to tumbleweed. The 2.03.05 contains these patch which mention in comment #3.

So I closed this bug.
