Sorry, user error sent the last email before I'd finished typing, trying again..
Hi everyone, I am experiencing a mystery scrub failure after extending a particular LV which is a raid1 type mirror. I am using Ubuntu 18.04, LVM 2.02.176-4.1ubuntu3, Ubuntu kernel 4.15.0-29-generic. I mentioned this on IRC, thought an email might reach more people and allow me to provide more detail. As far as I can tell, the LV was *not* created with --nosync: # lvs rvg/backups > LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log > Cpy%Sync Convert > backups rvg rwi-aor--- 96.64G 100.00 > The only odd thing I tend to do is specify extents for the extension manually, being a bit OCD about on disk segment layouts. Having mined .bash_history, it seems that last time I ran: lvextend -l+2561 rvg/backups /dev/sdc3:20480-23041 /dev/sdb3:80097-82658 After that, a *lvchange --syncaction check rvg/backups* showed a huge number for raid_mismatch_count (seemed roughly consistent with the newly extended portion not being synced), but dumping the actual filesystem with partclone from both legs of the mirror through md5sum showed no inconsistencies; the contents are mostly borg repositories and for good measure I verified the data in those using borg as well - no problems. After a full resync all is well again. This is the second time this happened to me on the same LV (I think - certainly the same VG.) Any clues? Any known bugs fixed recently that might not have made it into Ubuntu 1804? I am trying to reproduce with a test LV but can't. Only other thing I can think might be relevant was that the volume was mounted (but quiescent) at the time. Thanks, Steve
