Hi all,

I performed a fault tolerance testing on cmirrored LV in cluster with lvm2-2.02.98.

The result really surprises me: a cmirrored LV cannot continue to work after disabling
its one leg PV. Is this a known issue? Or am I doing something wrong?

The steps follows:

# clvmd and cmirrord started...
# vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb
# lvcreate -L1G -n lv1 --mirrorlog mirrored vg1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg1/lv1 bs=1k count=1000        ===> OK
# lvchange -an vg1/lv1
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete   ==> disable one leg

# lvchange -ay --partial vg1/lv1

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg1/lv1 bs=1k count=1000   ===> stuck forever
^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C

The following log repeats while dd command is stuck:

"""

"""

Thanks,
Eric
