Hi all,
    In my 10 nodes cluster, I find some strange logs in kernel.log when operating some days. logs as follws:

This seems nodes [ 2 7 9 10 ] have lvb value, but nodes [ 1 3 4 5 8 ] don't have.
So, my question is:
1, What is the function of LVB ?
2, In which case this issue occurs?
3, If the value of LVB is meaningless, could we do not compare them between different nodes?

Thanks!
