• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060911 Camino/1.0.3 (MultiLang)
Build Identifier: 

after experiencing troubles with EVMS-snapshots with recent gentoo-kernels and
vserver-kernels. i did the following withing the text-mode gentoo 2006.1 x86
installation-environment. basically creating and removing a evms-snapshot will
leave the evms-engine unusable (-> floating point exception). dunno if it's
devmapper, dm-snapshot, libdevmapper, lvm2, evms ...


same issues with recent 2.6.18 kernels, but for the sake of easy reproducibility
i tested with the gentoo-installer (2006.1 x86) 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. evms_activate
2. create 2 "virtual disks" using losetup
3. create evms-regions, evms-container, evms-volumes
4. mounted the evms-volume
5. created a snapshot
6. mount and unmount the snapshot
7. remove the snapshot
8. leave evms-tool (i.e. evmsn)
9. tried to start evms-tool (evmsn or evms)
--> floating point exception.

Actual Results:  
floating point exception after trying to start a evms-tools

Expected Results:  
work properly! ;-)

This has nothing to do with the installer

Changing the severity doesn't do anything to speed up the process.  It's completely unnecessary.

Can you verify with 2007.0, as it'll give us two places to compare, allowing for easier troubleshooting?

Can anyone verify that this is still an issue with 2008.0 Beta 1?

Please reopen if this is still an issue with the 2008.0 media
