Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.168-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, lvm2-lvmetad reproducibly shows poor boot-time behaviour after an lvrename; 'pvscan --cache' does not resolve. Discovered when attempting to rename the swap_1 lv that was created by the Debian Netinst x64 installer. Steps to reproduce: Create ESXi 6.5 Debian 9 x64 VM: 1 CPU 2048 MB RAM 16 GB HDD VMware PV SCSI Edit VM: Add CD Drive, Debian 9.0 x64 netinst ISO Power on VM: Graphical install, select default option/value for every choice except: -root pw = debian -user account name = debian -user account password = debian -disk setup: Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM, all files in one partition (or separate /var, /tmp, /home option, makes no difference to outcome) -install grub to sda Boot into VM: -observe normal boot sequence, no lvm-related errors -Log in as debian, start terminal, 'su -' to root -swapoff -a -lvrename /dev/debian-vg/swap_1 /dev/debian-vg/swap -vi /etc/fstab, update swap entry location to /dev/mapper/debian--vg-swap -reboot Boot into VM again: -observe "WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.", "Failed to find logical volume "debian-vg/swap_1" messages repeated ~20-30x during elongated boot -Log in as debian, start terminal, 'su -' to root -systemctl status lvm2-lvmetad.service, observe it is active/running -swapon -s, observe swap volume is correctly mounted -lvs, observe correctly-named lv 'swap' -pvscan --cache -reboot Boot into VM again: -observe "WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.", "Failed to find logical volume "debian-vg/swap_1" messages repeated ~20-30x during elongated boot -Log in as debian, start terminal, 'su -' to root -swapoff -a -lvremove /dev/debian-vg/swap -lvcreate -L 1g -n swap debian-vg -observe warning about 'signature detected on /dev/debian-vg/swap at offset 4086' Additional notes: 'vgscan --cache' and 'lvscan --cache' also appear to have no effect. Disabling lvm2-lvmetad.service appears to have no effect, boot messages remain the same. Same behaviour also seen in a VMware player VM, haven't tested other hypervisors or physical machines yet. Haven't tested volumes other than swap_1 as created by installer yet. Possible similarities to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799295, but somewhat different setup and resulting error message; also this is Stretch. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii dmeventd 2:1.02.137-2 ii dmsetup 2:1.02.137-2 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libblkid1 2.29.2-1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libdevmapper-event1.02.1 2:1.02.137-2 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.137-2 ii liblvm2app2.2 2.02.168-2 ii libreadline5 5.2+dfsg-3+b1 ii libudev1 232-25 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 lvm2 recommends no packages.
