Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.111-2.2+deb8u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I ran usual upgrade command: # apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade ..., and so...
apt-get prompted multiple upgrades, including lvm2 package.
I told aot-get to go ahead and install all the upgrade...
As a result, apt-get exited with a error message:
Errors were encountered while processing:
lvm2
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I restarted machine (reboot), re-run the apt-get and this time apt-get promted that there is one package (lvm2) that is not fully installed.
* What was the outcome of this action?
apt-get attempted to install lvm2 upgrade again, and exited with the same error.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the upgrade process to exit without any errors.
This is a full text from the console with all the errors:

# If disabled, any configuration mismatch is ignored and default
# value is used instead without any warning (a message about the

# to use with LVM2.

# If set, the cache of block device nodes with all associated symlinks
# will be constructed out of the existing udev database content.
# This avoids using and opening any inapplicable non-block devices or
# subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
# to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
# fully. LVM2 needs to be compiled with udev support for this setting to
# take effect. N.B. Any device node or symlink not managed by udev in
# udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.
obtain_device_list_from_udev = 1
# If several entries in the scanned directories correspond to the
# same block device and the tools need to display a name for device,
# all the pathnames are matched against each item in the following
# list of regular expressions in turn and the first match is used.
# By default no preferred names are defined.
# preferred_names = [ ]
# Try to avoid using undescriptive /dev/dm-N names, if present.
# preferred_names = [ "^/dev/mpath/", "^/dev/mapper/mpath", "^/dev/[hs]d" ]
# In case no prefererred name matches or if preferred_names are not
# defined at all, builtin rules are used to determine the preference.
#
# The first builtin rule checks path prefixes and it gives preference
# based on this ordering (where "dev" depends on devices/dev setting):
# /dev/mapper > /dev/disk > /dev/dm-* > /dev/block
#
# If the ordering above cannot be applied, the path with fewer slashes
# gets preference then.
#
# If the number of slashes is the same, a symlink gets preference.
#
# Finally, if all the rules mentioned above are not applicable,
# lexicographical order is used over paths and the smallest one
# of all gets preference.
# A filter that tells LVM2 to only use a restricted set of devices.
# The filter consists of an array of regular expressions. These
# expressions can be delimited by a character of your choice, and
# prefixed with either an 'a' (for accept) or 'r' (for reject).
# The first expression found to match a device name determines if
# the device will be accepted or rejected (ignored). Devices that
# don't match any patterns are accepted.
# Be careful if there there are symbolic links or multiple filesystem
# entries for the same device as each name is checked separately against
# the list of patterns. The effect is that if the first pattern in the
# list to match a name is an 'a' pattern for any of the names, the device
# is accepted; otherwise if the first pattern in the list to match a name
# is an 'r' pattern for any of the names it is rejected; otherwise it is
# accepted.
# Don't have more than one filter line active at once: only one gets used.
# Run vgscan after you change this parameter to ensure that
# the cache file gets regenerated (see below).
# If it doesn't do what you expect, check the output of 'vgscan -vvvv'.
# If lvmetad is used, then see "A note about device filtering while
# lvmetad is used" comment that is attached to global/use_lvmetad setting.
# By default we accept every block device:
# filter = [ "a/.*/" ]
# Exclude the cdrom drive
# filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|" ]
# When testing I like to work with just loopback devices:
# filter = [ "a/loop/", "r/.*/" ]
# Or maybe all loops and ide drives except hdc:
# filter =[ "a|loop|", "r|/dev/hdc|", "a|/dev/ide|", "r|.*|" ]
# Use anchors if you want to be really specific
# filter = [ "a|^/dev/hda8$|", "r/.*/" ]
# Since "filter" is often overridden from command line, it is not suitable
# for system-wide device filtering (udev rules, lvmetad). To hide devices
# from LVM-specific udev processing and/or from lvmetad, you need to set
# global_filter. The syntax is the same as for normal "filter"
# above. Devices that fail the global_filter are not even opened by LVM.
# global_filter = []
# The results of the filtering are cached on disk to avoid
# rescanning dud devices (which can take a very long time).

# (The old setting 'cache' is still respected if neither of

# ignore_lvm_mirrors: Introduced in version 2.02.104
# This setting determines whether logical volumes of "mirror" segment
# type are scanned for LVM labels. This affects the ability of
# mirrors to be used as physical volumes. If 'ignore_lvm_mirrors'
# is set to '1', it becomes impossible to create volume groups on top
# of mirror logical volumes - i.e. to stack volume groups on mirrors.
#
# Allowing mirror logical volumes to be scanned (setting the value to '0')
# can potentially cause LVM processes and I/O to the mirror to become
# blocked. This is due to the way that the "mirror" segment type handles
# failures. In order for the hang to manifest itself, an LVM command must
# be run just after a failure and before the automatic LVM repair process
# takes place OR there must be failures in multiple mirrors in the same
# volume group at the same time with write failures occurring moments
# before a scan of the mirror's labels.
#
# Note that these scanning limitations do not apply to the LVM RAID
# types, like "raid1". The RAID segment types handle failures in a
# different way and are not subject to possible process or I/O blocking.
#
# It is encouraged that users set 'ignore_lvm_mirrors' to 1 if they
# are using the "mirror" segment type. Users that require volume group
# stacking on mirrored logical volumes should consider using the "raid1"
# segment type. The "raid1" segment type is not available for
# active/active clustered volume groups.

# There is an inherent race in the dmeventd failure handling

# on the same device as the image - no separate devices are
# required.) This mirror implementation does not require I/O

# or run manually), the volume group metadata and PV state flags are obtained
# from the lvmetad instance and no scanning is done by the individual

# If lvmetad has been running while use_lvmetad was 0, it MUST be stopped
# before changing use_lvmetad to 1 and started again afterwards.

# setting controls which volumes are auto-activated (all by default).
#
# A note about device filtering while lvmetad is used:
# When lvmetad is updated (either automatically based on udev events
# or directly by pvscan --cache <device> call), the devices/filter
# is ignored and all devices are scanned by default. The lvmetad always
# keeps unfiltered information which is then provided to LVM commands
# and then each LVM command does the filtering based on devices/filter
# setting itself.
# To prevent scanning devices completely, even when using lvmetad,
# the devices/global_filter must be used.
# N.B. Don't use lvmetad with locking type 3 as lvmetad is not yet
# supported in clustered environment. If use_lvmetad=1 and locking_type=3
# is set at the same time, LVM always issues a warning message about this

# 'mirror_image_fault_policy' and 'mirror_log_fault_policy' define

# (all copies made the same) every time a machine reboots or crashes.
#
# In the event of a failure, the specified policy will be used to determine
# what happens. This applies to automatic repairs (when the mirror is being
# monitored by dmeventd) and to manual lvconvert --repair when
# --use-policies is given.
#
# "remove" - Simply remove the faulty device and run without it. If
# the log device fails, the mirror would convert to using
# an in-memory log. This means the mirror will not
# remember its sync status across crashes/reboots and
# the entire mirror will be re-synced. If a
# mirror image fails, the mirror will convert to a
# non-mirrored device if there is only one remaining good
# copy.
#
# "allocate" - Remove the faulty device and try to allocate space on
# a new device to be a replacement for the failed device.
# Using this policy for the log is fast and maintains the
# ability to remember sync state through crashes/reboots.
# Using this policy for a mirror device is slow, as it
# requires the mirror to resynchronize the devices, but it
# will preserve the mirror characteristic of the device.
# This policy acts like "remove" if no suitable device and
# space can be allocated for the replacement.
#

#
# "degraded" - Like "complete", but additionally RAID Logical Volumes of
# segment type raid1, raid4, raid5, radid6 and raid10 will
# be activated if there is no data loss, i.e. they have
# sufficient redundancy to present the entire addressable
# range of the Logical Volume.
#

# a missing or failed PV could cause data loss with a
# portion of the Logical Volume inaccessible.
