I don't know if this helps, but I have just done a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04.02 on a pair of new 2T disks. They are Raid-1 encrypted. When I get to the screen to unlock the disks, it says, cryptsetup: evms-activate is not available. I am able to unlock the disks and boot. I have done

I don't believe in a hardware issue. The hardware has not changed and the card reader works perfectly once booted... No issue with the HDD either. I have lacked time to perform further testings yet, reason why I haven't given more information. The only thing I have noticed is that the issue

Hi Steve, My bootkeyscript is used to perform dual-factor authentication. Typically, it fetches the LUKS VG key-file from an external device (i.e. US key or SD card) which is itself LUKS encrypted - and it prompts for a decryption passphrase for this. It gets the UUID of the LUKS container and

Also, I note that you say the system sometimes fail[s] to boot. There's nothing conditional about this evms handling - if evms were causing your problem, it would happen consistently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

If the crypto source is unavailable (script line 205) it then tries to activate both LVM and EVMS (line 160), AND EXITS IN ERROR IF EVMS IS NOT AVAILABLE on system. How did you arrive at this conclusion? The activate_evms() function does a simple 'return 1' if evms_activate is not present,

I may have been a little quick in reading the code. I hadn't ever see any message about EVMS before upgrading from Quantal to Raring Alpha, so I assumed something had changed in between... But you're right, I just checked and the same piece of code is present in Quantal... The sometimes is real,
