"disk1" didn't work with the "vg" line; the correct value is "disk1.2".
Regardless, same result:
# lvscan
inactive '/dev/vgsys/var' [43.16 GiB] inherit
inactive '/dev/vgsys/swap' [8.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vgsys/root' [8.00 GiB] inherit
inactive '/dev/vgsys/tmp' [8.00 GiB] inherit
# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "vgsys" using metadata type lvm2

Then on reboot I get the same issue: "inactive" volumes. Is it something
with the FAI config I'm trying, or some 'trick' that needs to be done to
set up the initrd image so that LVM activate all the volumes?
