[gentoo-user] WARNING latest lvm2 breaks systems with older udev

[gentoo-user] WARNING latest lvm2 breaks systems with older udev

[Allan Gottlieb]

My system wouldn't fully boot this morning after updating lvm (~amd64).

Fortunately a mount -a followed by
   emerge -1 lvm2-previous version

has be back in business (with the new lvm2 masked).

I subsequently found the bug below.

================================================================

Bug 409921 - Upgrading to sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.95 causes failure in mounting
lvm2 filesystems at boot 

After upgrading to sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.95 the system failed to mount filesystems belonging to LVM devices during boot phase. The errors are catched at the attached photgraphs.

After logging-in, only the file systems not belonging to LVM were mounted.
The LVM devices were there, and doing 'mount -a' succeded (all partitions were mounted). After this I was able to downgrade to sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.93-r1, which works without problems.

I am using sys-fs/udev-171-r5, the newer verions are masked due to the
separate /usr partition on LVM - I haven't yet got enough time to
configure initramfs.

Thanks for the pointer, I had the same issue here.

addition: it wasn't exactly the same, as I had udev-182 already.

Yikes.

Thanks for being so kind of doing so!

I read the mail, but somehow I completely forgot to downgrade. But I did not 
run into this problem. I'm running udev-182 already, and I am using 
genkernel's initramfs.

Just to note, it was Pandu who filed that report. Allan *found* the bug report.

Just pointing it out because I've seen two people misattribute it now.

Whoops, I misread 'found' for 'filed'. But anyway, thanks for the
information :)

Uh, the bug was filed by Paweł Rumian, not me...

I believe it was Paweł Rumian who actually filed the bug.  After the
mount -a put me back in business (and my heart rate went back to normal)
I went to file a bug, saw Rumian's there, and posted to gentoo-user to
save others from the encountering the problem.

Anyway, I am glad to have helped disseminate the information.  It is
nice to occasionally be a source of help rather than always a sink.
