Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.115~bpo70+1
Severity: important
What did I do:
Today I installed backports version of open-vm-dkms and upgraded to most
recent 3.14 backport kernel from a previous version of it I installed due
to using BTRFS with skinny meta data on one partition.
Current results:
After this the machine failed to boot. It didn´t find the root filesystem
by its UUID. I typed "vgchange -ay" in initramfs and then Ctrl-D and then
it booted. This used to work without manual interaction before.
To make it boot consistently I added as a work-around:
mondschein:~> cat /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm-manual
#!/bin/sh
PREREQ="lvm"
prereqs()
{
echo $PREREQ
}
case $1 in
prereqs)
prereqs
exit 0;
esac
. /scripts/functions
log_begin_msg "Activitating logical volumes (as it does not seem to be done
automatically at the moment)."
vgchange -ay
log_end_msg
which I had handy as I use a similar workaround for enabling BTRFS RAID 1
boot on my laptop, which does not work as default.
This worked after actually chmod'ing +x it :)
Expected results:
Machine boots without manual adaptions to InitRD.
Additional information:
The machine still boots from an Ext4 filesystem. The BTRFS filesystem is
mounted later on by fstab.
There is a lvm and a BTRFS script in InitRD already, but the lvm script did
not seem to work properly:
mondschein:~> lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-3.14-0.bpo.1-686-pae | grep script

I thought it was an update to initramfs-tools causing this, but these have
been upgraded last week already:
Start-Date: 2014-06-12 11:46:49
Commandline: apt-get install -t wheezy-backports
linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-686-pae linux-headers-3.14-0.bpo.1-686-pae btrfs-tools
Install: linux-headers-3.14-0.bpo.1-686-pae:i386 (3.14.5-1~bpo70+1),
linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-686-pae:i386 (3.14.5-1~bpo70+1),
linux-compiler-gcc-4.6-x
86:i386 (3.14.5-1~bpo70+1, automatic), btrfs-tools:i386 (3.14.1-1~bpo70+1),
liblzo2-2:i386 (2.06-1, automatic), linux-kbuild-3.14:i386 (3.14-1~bpo70+1,
automatic), linux-headers-3.14-0.bpo.1-common:i386 (3.14.5-1~bpo70+1,
automatic)
Upgrade: initramfs-tools:i386 (0.109.1, 0.115~bpo70+1)
End-Date: 2014-06-12 11:48:06
And there rebooting the machine worked out of the box.
So maybe something in open-vm-tools or open-vm-dkms from wheezy-backports
interacts with InitRD script stuff in a way that breaks boot. But OTOH
I see no open-vm related scripts in above lsinitramfs output.
Thanks,
Martin
