[Safekeep-devel] lvremove error

[Eric A. <eri...@ho...>]

Hi,



I'm getting an error that the removal of the snapshot volume cannot be accomplished.  



root@poemas51:/etc/cron.daily# safekeep --server --cleanup poem11_1

warn: lvremove called for non-existent device: /dev/mapper/poem11-vg--root_snap_safekeep--10595--MEO0Ec--rbind



When I do a list of the client I see:  



era@poem11:~$ ls -l /dev/mapper/

total 0

crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 Feb  6 20:32 control

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       7 Feb  7 22:52 poem11--vg-root -> ../dm-0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       7 Feb  6 20:32 poem11--vg-swap_1 -> ../dm-1



Note the extra '-' between the machine name and the 'vg' designator.



These volumes were set up with default LVM install in Ubuntu 12.04.3.  
After making a small change to line 884 of /usr/bin/safekeep (latest 
release) 



from:



        lvmdev = '/dev/mapper/%s-%s' % (group, volume.replace('-', '--'))



to:



        lvmdev = '/dev/mapper/%s-%s' % (group.replace('-', '--'), volume.replace('-', '--'))



it works.



Hope this helps someone.  I don't think my configuration is that mixed up so perhaps this change should be integrated into the release?  I'll let experts decide.



Best regards,



Eric
