Package: lvm2 Version: 2.03.22-1+b1 Severity: important If a system is configured with a lvm root, it will drop init a busybox shell on boot if any PV is missing, regardless of whether that PV is necessary for activating the root lv. (E.g., if root is on a PV that is present, or root is on an LV of type raid.) As far as I can tell, that is because the current version of the lvm initrd support depends on udev to activate VGs and udev only runs vgchange if all PVs have been found. Simply running vgchange -ay at the busybox prompt will render the system bootable with the current default activationmode, but this is severely suboptimal as it requires console access.
An immediate fix is to simply add a script in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount to run vgchange -ay unconditionally. An alternative would be to make the udev logic run vgscan when sufficient PVs have been detected to enable the root volume to be mounted. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.10.9-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii dmeventd 2:1.02.196-1+b1 ii dmsetup 2:1.02.196-1+b1 ii libaio1t64 0.3.113-8 ii libblkid1 2.40.2-8 ii libc6 2.40-2 ii libdevmapper-event1.02.1 2:1.02.196-1+b1 ii libedit2 3.1-20240808-1 ii libselinux1 3.7-3 ii libsystemd0 256.6-1 ii libudev1 256.6-1 Versions of packages lvm2 recommends: ii thin-provisioning-tools 0.9.0-2 lvm2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
