 |
|
I have "hardware" raid and am forced to use lvm2 because of that.
After upgrading lvm2 to any version above lvm2-2.02.67-r2 I get unbootable system because the disks are not found
anyone experiencing same problems?

| Nope, lvm2 works just fine with 2.02.67-r2 on my laptop. Though Im not using raid of any kind. Are you using genkernel? Have you updated the initramfs? |

2.02.67-r2 works, but anything above it doesnt.
Im not using genkernell and I have not updated initramfs (I have updated lvm2 many times and everything worked, until now)

Recently, lvm2 started to use libm.
Under what exact conditions does the failure happen ? |

The failure happens when I try to boot:
fsck fails (probably because it didnt found the partitions) and then the rest of the init scripts fail
Im still able to login after that, just to see that I cant do anything, my root is mounted read-only and the rest of partitions arent mounted at all
I can see that no device nodes for my partitions are present
To resolve this I have to chroot from cd, downgrade lvm2 and after that the system boot fine

| What is the output from the initramfs when it tries to set the LVM volumes to active? |

how do I check that?
Do I need to rebuild initramfs after update?
I have done many earlier updates of lvm2 and didnt do anything to initramfs and all was fine

Look at your screen, or the serial console if you are using a serial line to monitor the system.

Generally, no. I do not have any machines with which I can test boot that new a version of lvm2 at this time, so it is possible that you do need to rebuild this time. |

I had the same problem and resolved the problem by downgrading udev to sys-fs/udev-149.
After this i had no more the fsck error.
I found this solution here:
