An update that has six fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for lvm2 fixes the following issues:

  • Fix heap memory leak in lvmetad. (bsc#1164126)
  • lvmetad uses devices/global_filter but not devices/filter after lvm2 update. (bsc#1163526) This config item global_filter_compat is a SUSE special. The default value is 1, which means the devices/global_filter behaviour is same as before. When the value is 0, user should use global_filter to control system-wide software, e.g. udev and lvmetad global_filter_compat are not opened by LVM.
  • Avoid creation of mixed-blocksize 'PV' on 'LVM' volume groups (LVM2). (bsc#1149408)
  • Fix for LVM metadata when an error occurs writing device. (bsc#1150021)
  • Fix for boot when it takes extremely long time with 400 LUN's. (bsc#1158358)
  • Fix for LVM metadata to avoid faulty LVM detection. (bsc#1145231)
  • Enhance block cache code to fix issues with 'lvmtad' and 'lvmcache'. (bsc#1164718)
