At this time, I have a functional system, but /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is not included in my initramfs. I did not edit any file besides /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to filter out devices. This is the diff between a working (good) and a not working (bad) initramfs:

I'll try to make a fresh install and a backup and try to reproduce the behavior. In my point of view, everything worked out the moment I copied /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2 inito /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/. Now I can remove /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2 and update initramfs: it's still working. Maybe update-initramfs includes the lvm2 hook (present in /etc /initramfs-tools/hooks or not) when it detects a PV on the system. That would be the most rational explanation. In a nutshell: - If the LVM configuration is made and the initramfs updated right away while a PV is present: it will work after the reboot - If the LVM configuration is made, the system rebooted, the initramfs updated after the reboot: it won't work as far as the lvm2 hook won't be included because no PV is detected (system using a sngle static path). -- udev breaks multipath after reboot when using LVM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
