It turned out that after initramfs inovokes /sbin/init system hangs on mountall job waiting indefinitely for LVM devices to appear. Problem affects all 16.04 installations (both 14.04 upgrades or fresh ones) where LVM devices are included in /etc/fstab. Below are example log entries that are filling /var/log/upstart/mountall.log when "init=/sbin/upstart --debug" is added to kernel command line: try_mount: /var/lib/postgresql waiting for device try_mount: /var/spool/bacula waiting for device try_mount: UUID=886c73fd-8392-4361-956e-9cda47b0eb65 waiting for device My system is: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 All devices in fstab are referenced by UUIDs. To workaround the problem simple script executing "lvm vgchange -ay" must be created and placed in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top Problem doesn't exist when using systemd.
