[linux-lvm] pvscan fails (some more debugging - cause found)

[Frank Mohr]

I did some debugging and found where and why pvscan crashes.

Is the any tool to fix PE entries on disk?
There seem to be 7 corrupted entries.


I've added some debug messages to vg_read_with_pv_and_lv

there seems to be a mismatch between vg_this->lv[l]->lv_allocated_le and
some PE

i've change/added a check to the loop:


               debug ( "construct the lv_current_pe pointer array\n");
               /* construct the lv_current_pe pointer array */
               p = npe = 0;
               for ( p = 0; p < vg_this->pv_cur && npe <
vg_this->lv[l]->lv_allocated_le; p++)
               {
                   debug ( "p = %d - pe_total =
%d\n",p,vg_this->pv[p]->pe_total);
                  for ( ope = 0; ope < vg_this->pv[p]->pe_total; ope++)
                  {
                       debug ( "ope = %d\n",ope);
                     if ( vg_this->pv[p]->pe[ope].lv_num == lv_num)
                     {
                        pe_index = vg_this->pv[p]->pe[ope].le_num;
                       debug ( "pe_index = %d\n",pe_index);
                        if( pe_index > vg_this->lv[l]->lv_allocated_le)
                        {
                            debug("(fm) Error pe_index = %lu >
vg_this->lv[l]->lv_allocated_le = %lu\n",
                                pe_index ,
vg_this->lv[l]->lv_allocated_le);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        vg_this->lv[l]->lv_current_pe[pe_index].dev =
vg_this->pv[p]->pv_dev;
                       debug ( "get_pe_offset = %d\n",ope);
                        vg_this->lv[l]->lv_current_pe[pe_index].pe =
get_pe_offset(ope, vg_this->pv[p]);
                       debug ( "get_pe_offset ->
%lu\n",vg_this->lv[l]->lv_current_pe[pe_index].pe);
                        vg_this->lv[l]->lv_current_pe[pe_index].reads =
\
                        vg_this->lv[l]->lv_current_pe[pe_index].writes =
0;
                        npe++;
                        }
                     }
                  }
               }
               debug ( "construct the lv_current_pe pointer array --
