When the daemon starts up it creates a fresh (empty) LVM configuration and starts up lvmetad (which depends on the LVM configuration). However this appears to cause problems: Some types of PV seem to require lvmetad and don't work without it (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1581810). If we don't start lvmetad earlier, the device nodes are not created. Therefore move...

Currently lvmetad is started in init, and thus using the system (= appliance) configuration of lvm. Later on, in the daemon, a local copy of the lvm configuration is setup, and set it for use using the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR environment variable: this means only the programmes executed by the daemon will use the local lvm...

lvmetad only works if the /run/lvm directory is created. It is normally created by systemd-tmpfiles, but prior to libguestfs 1.34 we didn't invoke systemd-tmpfiles to create directories under /run (fixed in upstream commit a6330e9d3af0f5286f1d53d909fd868387b67f69). If for some reason lvmetad does sta...

Hi, this series improves the way LVM is used in the appliance: in particular, now lvmetad can eventually run at all, and with the correct configuration. Also improve the listing strategies. Thanks, Pino Toscano (5): daemon: lvm-filter: set also global_filter daemon: lvm-filter: start lvmetad better daemon: lvm: improve filter for LVs with activationskip flag set daemon: lvm:...

Hi, this series improves the way LVM is used in the appliance: in particular, now lvmetad can eventually run at all, and with the correct configuration. Also improve the listing strategies. Changes in v2: - dropped patch #5, will be sent separately - move lvmetad statup in own function (patch #2) Thanks, Pino Toscano (4): daemon: lvm-filter: set also global_filter daemon: lvm-f...

This patch reworks how we start up LVM and lvmetad. It fixes the problem we had converting a guest which had a peculiar LVM configuration: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1581810#c14 However please note I have NOT yet tested it fully. Rich.

...h virt-p2v. we have conversion server (virt-p2v) and physical server (virt-p2v) server configured as per below documentation. http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v.1.html#kernel-command-line-configuration After "Start Conversion" from GUI interface, we are conversion fails with "/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory" Error.

Minor Correction, Yes, we are using Hardware RAID-0, which uses HP Smart Array P220i Controller.

Hello Richard, Thanks a lot for your time and response. Please find the requested details attached. RAID-0 is the software raid level which we have configured on the HP BL Gen8 server. (While creating 1 Logical drive out of 2 physical drives ) Best, Shree. On Sun, Nov 1, 2015 at 12:49 PM, Richard W.M.

Hi Rich, This is v3 series to add support for resizing MBR logical partitions. changes to v3: 1. merge patch 1 and patch 3 in v3 2. let mbr_part_type return 'primary' for GPT partitions 3. add test for resizing logical partitions 4. fix extending the extended partition (yet). see patch 7. changes to v2: 1. remove p_part_num 2. remove filter_parts 3. name the function

Hi Richard, We have generated .iso on Physical server and tried booting same with "livecd-p2v-*.iso", and we are getting "unexpected end of file waiting for password prompt" error. Also we are not able to execute "/sbin/ifconfig" or "ip a" binaries on Physical server after booting from livecd. We have attached "p2v.ks" file and
