Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.66-5 Severity: important File: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2
When using the root=UUID=... syntax (the default with grub2) for a root filesystem in LVM the local-top/lvm2 script does not activate the volume group and the initramfs dumps me into a rescue shell. Running "lvm vgchange -aly" and exiting the shell is sufficent to allow the boot to continue. Using GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true in /etc/default/grub is also sufficient to work around the issue. This is because the script will bail on paths which don't start /dev/mapper. Presumably this can be worked around by using lvm vgchange -aly --ignorelockingfailure when $dev matches UUID=* (and perhaps LABEL=*?) similar to the existing LILO "fe[0-9]*" and /dev/root workarounds. I guess the current scheme would also break if one were to use the alternative /dev/Vol00/root naming rather than /dev/mapper/Vol00-root? Maybe that's a case of "don't do that then".
