Bug#328512: lvm2: lvremove uses 99% CPU when run non-interactively

[Roger Leigh]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.01.14-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Calling lvremove from a script run non-interactively (with run-parts)
causes it to consume nearly all the CPU time.  It should usually ask
for user confirmation at this point, but instead blows up.  If it
can't do without user interaction, it should exit on error at this
point.

I know it's possible to run with "-f" to avoid this, but the current
behaviour is far from ideal.


Regards,
Roger
