Comment 3 for bug 504629

Good one didn't look that far :), you could also add a lvm.conf to ld.so.conf.d dir and in that file add /lib/lvm2 that would solve that problem too.

Cheers Dyna

Subject: [Bug 504629] Re: liblvm2clusterlock not in library search path

Couldn't you just uncomment "# library_dir = "/lib/lvm2"" in
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf instead? That works for me.

Status in “lvm2” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lvm2

When using clvm you need an external looking library in Debian/Ubuntu, the lib in included in the clvm pacakge. However when creating the very first thing in your clustered lvm setup it will fail with:

root@XYZEADF:~# pvcreate /dev/sda
  Unable to open external locking library liblvm2clusterlock.so: liblvm2clusterlock.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  Unknown locking type requested.
  Locking type 2 initialisation failed.

Thats because liblvm2clusterlock.so is located in /lib/lvm2/ where in this case pvcreate will not search for it.

Workaround/fix is to either do

ln -s /lib/lvm2/liblvm2clusterlock.so /lib/liblvm2clusterlock.so

or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to include /lib/lvm2 and then exec ldconfig

Cheers
