Initramfs scripts cannot mount my root on lvm volume since conversion to UUID.
I think that the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm script which is supposed to activate the root on lvm volume is unable to work with a root partition specified as an UUID: it try to parse the root partition variable using a '/dev/mapper/something' pattern. I also think that it cannot be made to work as the vgchange tool need a volume group name which I don't see how it can be guessed from just the UUID of a not-yet activated logical volume belonging to this volume group. It can be workarounded by modifying back /boot/grub/menu.lst but you also have to manually tweak the update-grub script as it blindly want to convert it back to an UUID on each invocation. -- No need to convert LVM volumes to UUIDs https://launchpad.net/bugs/54002 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
