Package: lvm2 Version: 2.03.01-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
At boot time, lvm2 displays the following lines: lvm2-activation-generator: lvmconfig failed lvm2-activation-generator: Activation generator failed. systemd[369]: /lib/systemd/system-generators/lvm2-activation-generator failed with exit status 1. I investigated why and what follows are my strace-based conclusions. As you probably know already, lvm2-activation-generator runs: /sbin/lvmconfig global/event_activation global/use_lvmpolld After the latest lvm2 upgrade, it turns out /etc/lvm/lvm.conf does *not* contain event_activation in its global section. Therefore, lvmconfig: - outputs "Configuration node global/event_activation not found" on stderr; - outputs "use_lvmpolld=1" on stdout; - exits with return code 1, hence the reported error. Note: this issue happens to be a red herring for #917124 (and possibly #917136), i.e. this message is not the root cause of those bugs (it seems to be some combination of udev and the 4.19 kernel). That's it; I hope it helps. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii dmeventd 2:1.02.153-2 ii dmsetup 2:1.02.153-2 ii libaio1 0.3.111-1 ii libblkid1 2.33-0.2 ii libc6 2.28-3 ii libdevmapper-event1.02.1 2:1.02.153-2 ii libreadline5 5.2+dfsg-3+b2 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii libsystemd0 240-1 ii libudev1 240-1 ii lsb-base 10.2018112800 Versions of packages lvm2 recommends: pn thin-provisioning-tools <none> lvm2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
