Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.168-2
I have encountered a situation where:
2019-10-28 16:45:09 Z executing ssh ... root@172.16.144.40 lvcreate -Z y -L
10000M -n debianhvm.guest.osstest-disk italia0-vg
WARNING: dos signature detected on /dev/italia0-vg/debianhvm.guest.osstest-disk
at offset 510. Wipe it? [y/n]: ^C
But:
2019-10-28 16:47:33 Z executing ssh ... root@172.16.144.40 lvcreate -W y -L
10000M -n debianhvm.guest.osstest-disk italia0-vg
Logical volume "debianhvm.guest.osstest-disk" created.
The documentation says
If this option is not specified, then by default -W |
--wipesignatures y is assumed each time the zeroing is done (-Z |
--zero y). This default behaviour can be controlled by
allocation/wipe_signatures_when_zeroing_new_lvs setting found in
lvm.conf(5).
grep wip /etc/lvm/lvm.conf yields some comments and also
use_blkid_wiping = 1
wipe_signatures_when_zeroing_new_lvs = 1
(from the default config supplied with the package).
I don't know if it's the documentation or the implementation that is
wrong. The workaround appears to be to specify -W y explicitly.
Thanks,
Ian.
