I can think of two ways to address this problem: 1. Have the user specify at the time of calling chzdev that the device is going to be used for providing the root fs (e.g. using a new chzdev option --rootdev) -> downside: could be missed by the user 2. Run a script at shutdown time that checks if all root-relevant devices are activated by the current initramfs -> downside: causes constant overhead/shutdown delays because the initramfs must be unpacked and searched one very shutdown -- 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
