John, > I bet you are using genkernel or gentoo-next to generate your initrd.
Exactly. Probably got lost in between the file contents: > I use LVM on LUKS container for my partitions and an initramfs built with genkernel. > You might have better luck using Dracut Thank you for the suggestion, I've tried Dracut and it got me almost there. First I've tried to add 'ro' command line option to mount both root and /usr as read-only and allow fsck OpenRC service to check the filesystems but it wasn't sufficient: I got the same error from e2fsck complaining that /usr is mounted. As Dracut implements fsck in the initramfs I've decided to leverage it and disabled fsck for both root and /usr in fstab. Now OpenRC fsck succeeds. But if I'm reading the logs correctly Dracut is not checking /usr, only root (199bb83d-c783-4254-a6eb-fdbb83c33144): Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 2.611986] dracut: luksOpen /dev/sdb3 luks-2acb7668-fff1-492d-b46e-f05ead26d153 Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: [ 7.318082] random: crng init done Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.842143] dracut: Scanning devices dm-0 for LVM logical volumes MacVg/swap MacVg/gentoo-root MacVg/gentoo-usr Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.856028] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/arch-root' [10.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.858497] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/arch-var' [6.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.860752] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/swap' [8.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.862977] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/arch-home' [6.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.865294] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/data' [48.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.867488] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/gentoo-root' [1.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.869669] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/gentoo-var' [1.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.871936] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/gentoo-home' [2.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.874062] dracut: inactive '/dev/MacVg/gentoo-usr' [12.00 GiB] inherit Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.961553] dracut: Scanning devices dm-0 for LVM volume groups MacVg Jan 13 19:55:24 machine kernel: <30>[ 30.967503] dracut: Reading all physical volumes.
