Stefan, what initramfs are you using? I don't have much experience with LVM; I just installed a Qemu virtual machine with it, and it gave me no problems. But it was a dead simple setup. Your setup, however, seems to be rather complicated: you have LVM, LUKS and (if I remember correctly) software RAID? In my virtual machine I didn't had to do anything. There are no services for LVM, and there are no scripts doing nothing LVM related. There are a couple of udev rules, which I never touched, and systemd together with that seems to handle everything by itself. I have everything in LVM, including / and /boot (which is inside /). Could you please explain how is exactly your layout? From drives to partitions to PVs, VGs and LVs? And throw in there also the LUKS and RAID (if used) setup. I will try to replicate that in a VM. Next week, since we have a holiday weekend coming. When I installed my LVM setup, I was surprised to find how easy it was. The only problem I got was to install GRUB2 in /dev/vda, and even that wasn't that difficult, and only qemu related. So perhaps the problem is *moving* LVM machines to systemd, with the cruft from previous OpenRC installations. Perhaps you don't need to *add* anything, but to *remove* things that are not necessary anymore since systemd+dracut handles everything. Please explain to me your drive layout, so I can try to replicate it. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
