I think your right, this might be better solved by adding a small script to the RHCS configuration that looks for the snapshot volume and removes it if found then tries to start up.
However, this bring up another issue: lvm tagging. For this to work you would have to have the ability to set a tag on the snapshot volume when its created. Something like this: # lvmcreate -L50GB --addtag @12345db1 -n mysql00_snapshop vgsan00 That will allow you to add an exception to the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf volume_list so it can mount up that LV. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Holland Discuss, which is subscribed to holland-backup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726776 Title: holland-mysqllvm does not remove snapshot volume after crash Status in Holland Backup Framework: Confirmed Bug description: If a server crashes while a back up is running the snapshot volume is not removed. This is particularly problematic when lvm snapshots are being using in a cluster configured for HA-LVM and the active node is fenced. Because the passive node won't start with two LV's in the VG the cluster fails to start. A work around can be put in place by adding some lines to the init.d script that will remove any snapshot volumes found but it would be nice if holland could remove it. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~holland-coredev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~holland-coredev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
