Hi,
the current cache file location (/etc/lvm) makes problems with a
read-only / so something has to be done.
On the other hand configuring it to /var/backups/ seems to work just
fine all around. No problems so far even during boot (when /var isn't
there yet).
Since grub2 can now too boot
/etc/lvm has several functions.
Read-only config - leave it where it is.
cache_dir - in general can be cleared on each boot so a tmpfs location
would be fine or /var/cache or something
Metadata backups
ideally would be stored persistently outside lvm but otherwise
/var/backups sounds OK

Obviously. I was only meaning the writable parts.

Hi.
I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to make such exceptions to FHS.
I mean that would dilute it more and more.
Alasdair, could you please tell us which concrete problems you've had?
btw: /boot is not always on non-LVM or really available. I for example
have my /boot on an USB-stick...

If Debian wants to have a go at moving these files about, there are
settings available in lvm.conf to do that.
But it's an unnecessary overhead, not trivial to get the scripts right,
introduces new failure modes (and recovery paths) and you might do
better discussing revising the FHS to cater

/etc/lvm/cache should live in /var, not /etc, since it is
automatically maintained, and not a configuration file anyhow. If it
cannot live in /var because that might not be mounted, use
/lib/init/rw and then later move it.
