[dm-devel] [PATCH 10 of 10] LVM: remove name restriction check for repair

[Jonathan Brassow]

Patch name: lvm-remove-name-restriction-check-for-repair.patch

I've removed the 'apply_lvname_restrictions' call in lvconvert if the
'--repair' option is given on the command line.  This is because the
repair action will be making no new LV names; so the check shouldn't
be necessary.  (Unless you don't like the idea of passing in hidden
LVs.)
