Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.127-1 Severity: important File: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2
Dear Maintainer, After upgrading to latest Sid my QNAP TS-419 failed to boot. By breaking into the initramfs shell I figured out that local-top/lvm2 was hanging in lvchange_activate(). Running the same command manually from the initramfs shell prompt also resulted in a hang: lvm lvchange -ddddddd -aay -y --sysinit --ignoreskippedcluster /dev/qnap-vg lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit [ 132.878220] device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3 [ 132.887704] device-mapper: ioctl: 4.33.0-ioctl (2015-8-18) initialised: dm-de...@redhat.com <hang> There aren't many tools in the initramfs to help debug this, but Sysrq-T showed: [ 186.603029] lvm S c036e5a8 0 134 128 0x00000000 [ 186.609431] [<c036e5a8>] (__schedule) from [<c036e7a0>] (schedule+0xa8/0xb8) [ 186.616511] [<c036e7a0>] (schedule) from [<c01646ec>] (SyS_semtimedop+0x514/0x76c) [ 186.624113] [<c01646ec>] (SyS_semtimedop) from [<c000a2e0>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x38) Which seems to suggest that it is waiting for some event which presumably never occurs (I've left it for several hours). I have narrowed this down to upgrading libudev0 and udev to the Stretch version. If I downgrade only those to the Jessie version then the problem no longer occurs. I've filed this against lvm2 firse since it supplies the script, but maybe this belongs to udev.
