It is not really a false alarm, LVM does fail here but tries again later on and succeeds. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409921 covers it and the workaround in comment 2 does it for me. Basically, LVM is trying to write its lockfile to a readonly filesystem. I'm going to try mounting /run on tmpfs in my initramfs as that is where it is mounted now, but apparently too late for the first attempt at starting LVM. -- Neil Bothwick "If Micro built cars, the worlds population would be in decline"
