Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* On Xenial after installing lvm2, you must reboot before you are able to run
vgcreate.
* The package installer should be starting lvmetad.service.
* $ sudo vgcreate localvg
/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to internal scanning.
Please enter a physical volume path.
Run `vgcreate --help' for more information.
[Test Case]
* Running the below commands result in the following error.
$ sudo apt install lvm2
$ sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1
$ sudo vgcreate localvg
/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to internal scanning.
Please enter a physical volume path.
Run `vgcreate --help' for more information.
[Regression Potential]
* Solution TBD, opening the bug so I don't forget this in the midst of
a sprint.
* discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result
of this change.
* It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
event of a regression.
* This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
[Other Info]
* Anything else you think is useful to include
* Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the
Technical Board
* and address these questions in advance
