Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 4.2+68 Severity: important Dear maintainer(s),
I recently put one of my file systems on LVM RAID1. All is fine when I lvconvert or lvcreate the RAID1 mirror on a running kernel. The problem happens when I reboot the system. This happens with: - linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64 4.2.5-1 - linux-image-4.1.0-2-amd64 4.1.6-1 - linux-image-4.1.0-1-amd64 4.1.3-1 Rebooting with a linux-image-4.0.0-2-amd64 (4.0.8-2) kernel works fine. The LVM RAID1 file system mounts automatically and is fully usable. During the failing boots I see: Setting up LVM Volume Groups... lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysin it device-mapper: reload ioctl on (253:8) failed: Invalid argument and a little later: fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/helix-srv Possibly non-existent device? Trying to activate the LV after the boot does not work either. # lvchange -ay helix/srv device-mapper: reload iocth on (253:8) failed: Invalid argument In my syslog I see: mdX: invalid bitmap file superblock: bad magic mdX: bitmap file superblock magic: 00000401 and mdX: failed to create bitmap (-22) device-mapper: table: 253:8 raid: Fail to run raid araay I have found https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100491[1][1] which mentions some of the messages I observe. I do not get the OOPS but it might be related. For the time being I'll stick to 4.0. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages linux-image-amd64 depends on: ii linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64 4.2.5-1 linux-image-amd64 recommends no packages. linux-image-amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 EPSON FLOSS Engineer -- AVASYS CORPORATION FSF Associate Member #1962 Help support software freedom http://www.fsf.org/jf?referrer=1962
