Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.06-3 Severity: normal Hi,
my laptop reported unavailable file systems during boot and started a maintainance shell. I saw that the file systems can not be mounted because there are no /dev/<vg>/<lv> symlinks that I use in the fstab. However, the devices in /dev/mapper are present. I suppose that's because vgchange is used in the initrd. If I type "/etc/init.d/lvm start" in the maintainance shell, the VG will be found and the /dev/<vg> directory will be created, with all the LV symlinks in it. I now changed all fstab entries to use /dev/mapper/<vg>-<lv> and my system boots again. After boot, I did this: $ ls /dev/t23 ; ls /dev/mapper/t23-usr ls: /dev/t23: No such file or directory /dev/mapper/t23-usr $ /etc/init.d/lvm start Setting up LVM Volume Groups... Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "t23" using metadata type lvm2 5 logical volume(s) in volume group "t23" now active Now, /dev/t23 exists. I can see the output of the lvm initscript before the system failed to boot, so the initscript is run and the VG should be found. This is a freshly installed Etch system (2006-11-04), with no lvm2 or udev upgrades since then. I should mention that the VG resides on a dm-crypt device that is initialized in the initrd.
