LVM Messages Contain Extra Carriage Return in Traditional Chinese Locales

Defect ID:

QXCR1000833224

Problem:

Several LVM commands such as vgdisplay contain an extra carriage return character (control-M) at the end of all their localized messages in the zh_TW.big5 and zh_TW.eucTW locales. For example, in English vgdisplay displays the following output:

--- Volume groups --- VG Name /dev/vg00 VG Write Access read/write VG Status available Max LV 255 Cur LV 8 Open LV 8 Max PV 16 ...
However, after setting LANG to a Traditional Chinese locale, vgdisplay displays the following output:
Sample vgdisplay output in Traditional Chinese
In addition, under these locales the command vgmodify -o -r vgname displays output which reverses captions and numbers.

Severity:

Medium.

Corrective Action:

You can correct and rebuild the zh_TW.big5 LVM message catalog by logging on as root and executing the following commands:

# ksh # export LANG=zh_TW.big5 # mkdir /tmp/zh_TW.big5 # cp /usr/lib/nls/msg/zh_TW.big5/lvm.cat /tmp/zh_TW.big5/lvm.cat # cd /tmp/zh_TW.big5 # /usr/bin/dumpmsg lvm.cat | /usr/bin/sed 's/\\r//g' > lvm.msg # /usr/bin/gencat lvm_fixed.cat lvm.msg # cp lvm_fixed.cat /usr/lib/nls/msg/zh_TW.big5/lvm.cat # chmod 444 /usr/lib/nls/msg/zh_TW.big5/lvm.cat # chown bin:bin /usr/lib/nls/msg/zh_TW.big5/lvm.cat

To correct the zh_TW.eucTW message catalog, repeat these steps, replacing all occurrences of zh_TW.big5 with zh_TW.eucTW.

vgchange -a n Displays Inconsistent Messages

Defect ID:

QXCR1000827038

Problem:

When running vgchange -a n to deactivate a volume group, the message displayed is different depending on whether the volume group is already deactivated or not. For example, if the volume group is activated, vgchange -a n displays the following output:

# vgchange -a n vg01 Volume group "vg01" has been successfully changed.
If the volume group is deactivated, vgchange -a n displays the following output:
# vgchange -a n vg01 vgchange: Volume group "vg01" has been successfully changed.

Severity:

Medium.

Corrective Action:

None. The volume group is deactivated in either case.

vgmodify Displays Incorrect Column Headings in Non-English Locales

Defect ID:

QXCR1000824855

Problem:

When running vgmodify in any locale other than English, the optimized setting columns are labeled incorrectly. For example, in English, vgmodify displays the following correct output:

Volume Group optimized settings (no PEs renumbered): max_pv(-p) max_pe(-e) Disk size (Mb) 2 53756 1720193 3 35836 1146753 ...
However, after setting LANG to a non-English locale such as fr_FR.iso88591, vgmodify displays the following incorrect output:
Paramètres de groupe de volumes optimisés (aucune EP renumérotée) : Taille de Taille de Taille de disque (Mo) 2 53756 1720193 3 35836 1146753 ...

Severity:

Medium.

Corrective Action:

None.
