Something in today's update for ~amd64 changed the bootup behavior of lvm (again). Now I get an error message that none of the labels on my lvm disks can be found (I mount by disk label in fstab).
So now lvm is starting even later than before. I still get the (now familiar) error from lvm that file locking failed, but I've been seeing that since the last thread on the subject and this problem just started today. (lvm does start eventually, but only after fstab fails to find the lvm disks). While poking around in the rc scripts I realized that device-mapper daemon is no longer running -- I think it was running a few months ago but I can't be certain now. Should it be running? I added device-mapper to the boot runlevel but it changed nothing AFAICT. Also, I notice that a /run directory on tmpfs appeared a while ago (can't remember when) and I think that should have fixed the file locking error from lvm, no? But it's not fixed for me. What are you guys seeing?
