Public bug reported: from https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/253962:
I was looking into how to repair LVM2 thin pool metadata and noticed that Ubuntu ships with LVM2 tools 2.02.98-6. In 2.02.98-9 (in Fedora), the option to swap a thin pool metadata device was added: Add lvconvert support to swap thin pool metadata volume -- https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/lvm2/changelog. It's also present in the 2.02.99 release of LVM2 itself: http://upstream- tracker.org/changelogs/lvm2/2.02.99/changelog.html. Without this option, it's difficult (I can't figure out at the moment how, exactly) to take a thin pool metadata device offline to perform metadata repair. Would be great to include a fix for this in Ubuntu. ** Affects: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lvm2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432646 Title: 14.04: thinpool metadata repair is not supported Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: from https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/253962: I was looking into how to repair LVM2 thin pool metadata and noticed that Ubuntu ships with LVM2 tools 2.02.98-6.
