Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.130
Severity: normal
Hi,
I had noticed this bug for quite a while now, but since I rarely turn my
machine off I left investigating what the problem was until now.
Every time I boot my laptop, it prints a lot of messages like this,
before eventually giving up:
Begin: Waiting for suspend/resume device ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done
[...]
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done
Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device.
I traced this down to the swap device being on an LVM partition on my
laptop. The script which automatically determines which device to resume
from stores the blkid in the initramfs, but unfortunately the lvm2
local-block script does not know how to activate LVM partitions based on
blkid. This means the swap device is never created and the initramfs
will never be able to find it.
Is it possible (and a good idea) to store the /dev/mapper path instead
of the blkid when the swap partition is on LVM?
I managed to solve my specific issue by manually setting RESUME to the
correct /dev/mapper path.
Thanks,
James

This is the correct way to refer to LVs used as root, /usr or resume
partition. The reason for this is that lvm2 only activates VGs that
are definitely needed, and there is no way to determine whether a
filesystem UUID or label refers to an LV (or which VG it's in).

If the facts do not conform to your theory, they must be disposed of.
