Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85e Severity: normal The created initramfs for some reason seems to fail to activate evms.
I have a setup where I have evms+lvm2, and an evms-volume
"root-crypted" is a luks volume of the root file system.
This is what happens (typed, not captured from serial console or
something, so any typos are mine):
------------------------------------------------------------
Begin: Mounting root file system ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...
device-mapper: ioctl: 4.7.0-ioctl (2006-06-24) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Volume group "root" not found
Done.
Begin: Waiting for root file system...
------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know what causes the message about vg "root" to not be found.
I have no such vg, although it might be that I have have once had
such.
Once I get dropped to busybox shell, inspecting /dev reveals there is
no /dev/evms directory. Running evms_activate from the shell correctly
creates the directory and the nodes/mappings there, but after that
fails with
------------------------------------------------------------
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
Aborted
------------------------------------------------------------
However the nodes and mappings apparently have been correctly created
before that.
After that, I run "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/evms/root-crypted
root-decrypted" and enter my root filesystem password.
/dev/mapper/root-decrypted is created. Then typing "exit" allows the
boot process to continue and finish successfully.
All the required block devices are correctly detected in the boot
process (I have hda, hdd, sda. Of these all are detected, but only sda
should be needed for booting after grub; the initramfs and kernel are
on a partition on hda).
Here's how my evms/lvm2 is setup (the volume1-root in the output below
is my old root, not the current one; the current one is
root-decrypted):
------------------------------------------------------------

`-lvm2|my_container|my_region (254:11)

------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally there's something wrong with the busybox shell: ctrl-c
and ctrl-z do not work in it, so if I issue e.g. the commad "cat" in
the shell, I'm stuck forever.
The kernel I'm running is the Debian-provided
linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 2.6.18.dfsg.1-10.
