[Bug 1657646] Re: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation
I have lowered the priority on this bug to Medium and we are expected to address this in 20.04. The proposed fix is to add thin-provisioning- tools package to "recommends" in lvm2 so that it will be automatically installed when we install lvm2. ** Changed in: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Medium ** Changed in: ubuntu-power-systems Importance: High => Medium ** Changed in: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => later ** Changed in: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Foundations Team (canonical-foundations) ** Summary changed: - Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation + [20.04]Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657646 Title: [20.04]Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1657646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1657646] Re: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation
The lvm2 package lists thin-provisioning-tools as a suggested package rather than "Depends", this is because thin-provisioning-tools is in the universe archive (Community supported) and lvm2 is in the main archive (Canonical supported). So, when you install lvm2 you should see thin- provisioning-tools under "suggested packages", and you have to separately list thin-provisioning-tools on the command line when you install lvm2. This is the case for all architectures not just for Power. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657646 Title: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1657646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1657646] Re: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation
This is related to a problem I've encountered today with lvmcache partitions. >From a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install, with lvm2 installed, I create an LVM on HDD's with an SSD partitioned to provide cache: lvcreate -n home_lv_root -L 1.2Tb vg0 vgextend vg0 /dev/nvme0n1p6 lvcreate -n home_lv_cache -L 17G vg0 /dev/nvme0n1p6 lvcreate -n home_lv_cachemeta -L 1.6G vg0 /dev/nvme0n1p6 lvconvert --type cache-pool --poolmetadata vg0/home_lv_cachemeta \ vg0/home_lv_cache lvconvert --type cache --cachepool vg0/home_lv_cache vg0/home_lv_root then reboot. The volume vg0/home_lv_root disappears. I try to find it: pvscan vgscan lvscan vgchange -ay The vgchange complains it cannot complete "cache_check". Here lies the problem: /usr/sbin/cache_check is in thin-provisioning- tools So without thin-provisioning-tools it is possible to create an LVM2 volume which disappears on reboot. This suggests that thin-provisioning-tools must be a prerequisite, or that cache_check be moved into package lvm2. This also appears to be related to bug #1423796, if an LVM volume has a cache attached and is required at boot time, boot will fail completely. Creating a cached root volume seemed like a sensible thing to do. This also occurred to me today on a server config, and I moved the OS entirely onto an SSD partition rather than deal with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657646 Title: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/1657646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1657646] Re: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation
IMHO thin-provisioning is an optional volumes type in LVM2 and is not required for operating LVM. The fact that lvconvert works to convert things to/from optionally supported types, is imho ok. In the same way we ship many tools that can convert formats but not necessarily open those for modification. E.g. i can use qemu-img to convert disk images to e.g. VMWare format but I might not have any hypervisor that knows how to boot such an image and allow to modify it (e.g. upgrade packages). >From usability point of view, it might help if attempts to activate thin volumes should result in messaging like "maybe install packages foo bar?" Similar to how command-not-found operates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657646 Title: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/1657646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> Canonical, We installed thin-provisioning-tools and have tested and not able > to see the issue. > Our tester need some clarification related to the update done above.. The summary for you and your tester for now IMHO is: 1. it is not a "bug" in docker.io 2. if thin-provisioning-tools are installed things work just fine 3. the bug was re-targeted against LVM2 to consider there if 3a. lvm should reject to create thin pools if the tools are missing 3b. lvm should have a harder dependency (component mismatch, so MIR needed) I think for now we are waiting on feedback from lvm maintainers in Ubuntu and Debian. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657646 Title: Missing thin-provisioning-tools prevents VG with thin pool LV from being (de)activated, but not its creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/1657646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
