Subject: [Bug 985741] Re: multipath can't show device on which is setup lvm

I don't think you need to upgrade at all, your multipathd is sufficiently modern
and not much different from the version in 12.04.

Interesting, I see that you're using user_friendly_names, though since you're 
also
using LVM, it kind of makes that feature redundant as the LVM is now your
user friendly name, and having that multipath feature adds another level of
 complexity when UDEV is creating devices. Please set user_friendly_names no 
in
 /etc/multipath.conf, and update your initrd update-initramfs -k all -u. The 
last
part is important as the multipath.conf is copied to the initrd and used as the
basis for any blacklists or additional UDEV juggling.

What might have happened is you didn't update the initrd since you created the
initial multipath config. Since the default is no, the ramdisk creates the 
normal
long style WWID names, then it mounts root, multipathd starts which finds user
friendly names set and then begins destroying the original WWID names in
exchange for the mpathx versions. If LVM has claimed the MP device by then,
destruction of the original name (and dmtable entry) will be blocked by 
reference
counting.

In general, it's imperative that you update the initramfs whenever lvm.conf or
multipath.conf is changed, especially when you're using them together.

Hi David
As I test yesterday, there is no same behavior on Ubuntu 12.4(LTS).

I extract the initrd ramdisk of initrd.img-3.0.0-12-server(U11.10)
And initrd.img-3.2.0-20-generic(U12.04).There is no multipath.conf. 
Compare the lvm.conf and modrprobe.d/blacklist.conf in ramdisk, there 
is no any difference.

I have done the test many times and on two host separately.
The issue only affect partition 1 undoubtedly.

At least we know Ubuntu 12.4 has no problem now, so what's difference between
Them related to multipath-tools and lvm, code, configuration file etc?

Due to this is a bug, does Ubuntu will have a fix or patch on major release 11?

Hi Vencent,

The initial ramdisk includes modules, configuration files, and scripts needed 
to boot
the system.  Since everything works post-boot, I suspect that some 
initialization
is the problem.

After looking through your information I am almost certain this is because 
during
the init process LVM is grabbing the block devices BEFORE multipath gets the 
chance.

Do you see that after the boot your volume groups are using scsi major numbers 
(8)
instead of multipath (252)?

It doesn't explain everything.. I would expect this to be a problem even for the
second partition, not only when you create an LVM on partition 1.  Nor does it
explain why the volume group doesn't come up, yet it found it's PVs (directly
instead of using the correct multipath).

Take a look at this bug report, it is a familiar problem. You might have to 
recreate
an initrd with the correct multipath and lvm config files, and also make sure 
the
kernel modules you need are loaded.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/246324

Sorry I do not have 11.10 installed or I would try to dig a bit deeper.  
Canonical
does have a Technical Partner Program for vendors that want to have a formal
relationship (technical partner manager) to make their devices work well
out-of-the-box with Ubuntu.

Hi, sorry it's taken so long for somebody to look at this bug.

Just out of interest, what version of multipath-tools are you using? I
saw somewhere that there was a change in configuration between 0.4.9 and
all earlier versions, but I'm not sure if that could do something like
this.

  Here is an temporary recovery way:
  4)Service multipath-tools stop
  5)Dmsetup remove_all
  6)Service multipath-tools start
  However, the issue is consistent  after I reboot OS.

  If I remove lv  ( still have LVM package in OS) ,  multipath work
  well.

RE: [Bug 985741] Re: multipath can't show device on which is setup lvm

2012-04-25 Thread vincent
Hi David

1)What do mean storage module in the initrd, is it HBA driver module?
  
2)I have upgrade to 12.04 LTS this morning, don't see same behavior.
   Please see the unbutu_12.04_multipath.txt

3)see multipath configure in attachment

4)As you request, attach test result before and after creation of LVM
   And also reboot host.

Hi Vencent,

Here are some things you can try that might help narrow the problem:

* Re-create the init ramdisk, make sure your storage module is in the initrd
   (what modules are in the initrd, vs what modules are loaded after boot and 
everything
is working)
* Can you test this on 12.04 LTS (released April 26th) to see if it has the 
same behaviour?
* Show the output of multipathd -kshow config
* Give the output of the following commands before creating the lv, after, and 
after reboot
   * dmsetup ls --tree
   * dmsetup table

I suspect this can be fixed in the initrd.

Title:
  multipath can't show device on which is setup lvm

Status in “multipath-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  root@SGELLIN119:~# lsb_release -rd
  Description:Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:11.10

  affect package: multipath-tools, lvm2

  If  creating logical volume with Multipath on disk primary partition 1, 
multipath can’t find the 
  disks. Syslog show  such error when booting system

  kernel: [   27.604034] device-mapper: table: 252:5: multipath: error getting 
device
  kernel: [   27.604115] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

  
  I use fdisk to create two partitions on one physical lun.

  Mpath6:
  /dev/mapper/mpath6-part1
  /dev/mapper/mpath6-part2

  Mpath7:
  /dev/mapper/mpath7-part1
  /dev/mapper/mpath7-part2

  create a logical volume on  mpath6-part2, mpath7-part2
  Reboot  host, there is no exception and error logs. Multipath could
  Find all devices.

  Then I use same way to create a lv on mpath6-part1 and mpath7-part1
  After rebooting host,  there are some error logs happen. 
  Multipath can’t find mpath6 and mapth7.  Of course the logical volums on
  Mpath6 and mpath7 were lost also.

  the finding is that if creating lvm on disk primary partition 1.  Something 
were changed  and it lead multipath
  couldn’t find devices.
