But then again, it would be suboptimal to have hundreds of disks (paths) (or vNICs or other device types) activated early in initramfs just because a few of the disks are actually required to mount the root-fs (and that's all an initramfs should do). Alas, I don't know how to solve it optimally.

I cannot quite follow why this bug is invalid. I thought your above quoted code changes actually fixed this bug by not requiring the user to explicitly run "update-initramfs -u" any more. If the bug is now declared invalid as in "user error", then I'm puzzled about the reasons for a code change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641078 Title: System cannot be booted up when root filesystem is on an LVM on two disks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1641078/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
