[Bug 1328595] Re: lvcreate -s hangs when overlayfs is in use

 

When I do the steps:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I do not get a new kernel.
Anyway, the Kernel version on the system seams to be more current then the one mentioned in the post above:
df@feretti-virt:~$ uname -r
3.13.0-29-generic

So either I am missing something or the bug does still exist.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  lvcreate -s hangs when overlayfs is in use

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using xbuntu 14.04 LTS in combination with KVM, lxc, logical volumes and overlayfs.
  After I started  using overlayfs i realized that my backup based on LVM snapshots made the system "go mad".

  As described in the manual I tried the kernel from 13.10 (3.11.0-xx) with the same result.
  A test against main line does not help, since it does not include the overlayfs support.

  I tested the behaviour on a server as well as in a VirtualBox environment with the same result:
  lvcreate -s -n backup -L512M /dev/VG/NAME hangs and does not come back.

  This issue is easy reproducable:

  sudo mkdir /mnt/test /mnt/delta
  sudo mount -t overlayfs -o lowerdir=/usr,upperdir=/mnt/delta overlayfs /mnt/test
  sudo lvcreate -s -n backup -L512M /dev/xubuntu-vg/root
