Hello, This bug is now also a problem with the new version of initramfs-tools in the case of a separate /usr partition on a lvm, as /usr is also being mounting early in the boot sequence by initramfs (this problem wasn't hitting me beforehand as I did put a small root partition on a non-lvm partition for "avoiding such problems" ... :/)
Actually, the solutions proposed there were not working for me, I still had to "vgchange -ay" on the initramfs prompt. My working solution ended up to add the scsi_mod.scan=sync option to be passed by grub, and forced the lvm scanning by adding to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 the lines: lvm pvscan lvm vgscan lvm vgchange -ay before the "activate_vg" lines. Note that I added the "lvm vgchange -ay" line on top of the other one, as suggested previously. It seemed that the volume /groups/ were correctly scanned and identified during the initial boot-up, as I could read the following lines: PV /dev/sdb1 VG lv_data lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 0 free] PV /dev/sda3 VG lv_system lvm2 [235.68 GiB / 0 free] Total: 2 [2.05 TiB] / in use: 2 [2.05 TiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "lv_data" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "lv_system" using metadata type lvm2 But the lvm /volumes/ were not activated, as initramfs was waiting for the /usr partition, until complaing and falling back to the prompt were the vgchange command had to be performed... so that I ended up adding the vgchange command in a "why not" mood, that ended up to work for me. I do not know if this is a solution or a dirty hack, but at least it is working for me. I don't know neither if /all/ the modifications are indeed necessary, as I added them incrementally until it worked. I hope that I could help... -- Raphaël -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
