Confused to see no movement on this bug?
The logical thing seemed to be add another case to /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 calling lvchange_activate with no
parameters, but it seems that doesn't work - does
activation/auto_activation_volume_list need to be set in lvm.conf
Could someone please describe me how to add the patch from TJ?

The machine I was using has been redeployed without LVM. If I get a

I've run across this today and it affects MAAS.
MAAS version: 2.2.2 (6099-g8751f91-0ubuntu1~16.04.1)
Configuring an LVM based drive with a raid on top of it for the root
partition will trigger this. Deploying the default kernel / OS will fail
due to inactive volume groups.
The fix as expected:
I ran across the same bug. It was caused by the root filesystem being
specified on the kernel command line with the root=UUID= syntax.
This is not handled by the case "$dev" in stanza in activate() in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2. See attached
screenshot. If I change the
Facing a similar problem on a debootstrap rootfs.
Even after ensuring that the lvm2 package is installed (and hence the
initramfs scripts are present) I still get dropped to a shell in the
initramfs. Running `lvchange -ay` causes the volume to show up and
subsequently the bootup will succeed. I
Last night I ran into the same problem. I upgraded from 12.04 LTS to 16.04.1

one LVs inactive. The only one
I wonder if this is due to the use of systemd. As seen on

Faced with the same behavior yesterday, the only workaround for me

I just ran into this upgrading from 14.04. My system is a btrfs raid
across two LVM Volume Groups. Both volume groups need to be activated
at boot, before the "btrfs device scan". The system used to do this.
Putting a vgchange in a script in local-top fixes this.

My workaround is as I explained in the issue description: I added a

I'm not seeing ANY LVM volumes active on system boot.
(I'm not putting any of the necessary boot paths on LVM).
After booting the system, the volume is visible but not active.
If I put one of the drives in sftab, booting Ubuntu breaks.
Is there a workaround to make the system do "vgchange -a y"
