Just updated my stable amd64 machine to use systemd and all is working okay except for the lvm.service.
The lvm.service starts with no errors, but OTOH it finds no physical or logical volumes. I suspect this happens because the drive using lvm2 is in a usb3 external dock instead of attached to the mobo. When I run 'systemctl restart lvm' manually, the usb3 disk is activated and mounted successfully. Thus I think the lvm.service runs too early during boot. Here is my lvm.service (which I copied from another distro, IIRC): #cat /etc/systemd/system/lvm.service [Unit] Description=LVM DefaultDependencies=no Requires=systemd-udev-settle.service Before=shutdown.target local-fs.target [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/sbin/pvscan --ignorelockingfailure ExecStart=/sbin/vgscan --mknodes --ignorelockingfailure ExecStart=/sbin/vgchange --sysinit -a ly ExecStop=/sbin/lvchange --sysinit -a ln $(/sbin/vgs -o vg_name --noheadings --nosuffix) ExecStop=/sbin/lvchange --sysinit -a ln ExecStop=/sbin/vgchange --sysinit -a ln [Install] WantedBy=sysinit.target Is there an elegant way to fix the problem as opposed to a hack? Thanks for any clues.
