Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-18
Severity: important
Tags: patch
By default, yaird includes merely the dm-mod module with its LVM plan if
the root device is or depends on a logical volume. This causes serious
trouble if an LVM snapshot of the root volume is present while booting.
With the dm-snapshot module loaded, a snapshot is created beforehand:
$ lvcreate -s -L500M -n snaproot /dev/vg/root
Subsequently rebooting, this results in the following boot failure:
device-mapper: ioctl: 4.7.0-ioctl (2006-06-24) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
device-mapper: table: 253:1: snapshot-origin: unknown target type
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
2 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
So as to solve this problem, the dm-snapshot and dm-mirror modules
should always be added to the initramfs image, if available.
The patch included below takes care of optionally adding these modules.
The optionality allows users with custom kernels to leave out snapshot
and/or mirror support entirely.
Regards,
Peter
