Package: evms
Version: 2.5.5-2
mkinitramfs fails to create a usable boot image. Booting with the
kernel command line "evms_debug" works.
From a userperspective, evms reports that SWAPFS failed. Debug
information tells that it fails to execute 'mkswap -V'. mkswap is
present in /sbin in the boot image.
The file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/evms appears to
be missing from the combination of
ii evms 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (core)
ii evms-bootdebug 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (boot-ti
ii evms-cli 2.5.2-1 Enterprise Volume Management System (CLI)
ii evms-ncurses 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (ncurses
ii libevms-2.5 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (library
ii initramfs-tool 0.53 tools for generating an initramfs
Bug #340258 tells me that the file was removed in initramfs-tools/0.50c
#340263 that it should have been added in evms/2.5.4-2
- hence i file this bug against evms.
My quick and dirty workaround was to copy
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/evms
from initramfs-tool 0.46, and add an explicit path to to /sbin.
In other words, I changed the last line from
/sbin/evms_activate
to
PATH=/sbin /sbin/evms_activate
and I am able to boot from my image as expected.
