I believe I'm experiencing the same (or very similar) bug on 10.04 LTS. Boot is halted and I'm dropped into a busybox shell, (with the error, file not found /dev/mapper/<server>-root), I can confirm with busybox that the block device is there though, I can also mount it (but this breaks init)
simply pressing ^D brings me to a "Trying to Mount "/" press M for manual recovery or S to skip this" pressing "M" brings me to my root filesystem, where I can remount,rw and navigate all the files I'd expect to be there, I can even start networking and ssh. (which is the state the machine is in now) however, I've not had a successful runlevel 5 since this problem started. the volume behaves exactly as expected in regards to pv/vg/lv-display from the maintenance shell. Attempts at recovery; * rootdelay=60 [kernel boot parameter] * update initramfs * reinstalling grub2 * export/import of LVM volume * restore of LVM config * fsck the partition (clean) I'm currently backing all the files up, so I can reinstall, but will keep the machine around if anybody wants me to try anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596554 Title: Unable to mount root LVM partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/596554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
