Bug 100171 – lvm not being started with baselayout-1.11.13

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Duane Healing 2005-07-24 17:50:35 UTC]

After upgrading to baselayout-1.11.13 from 1.11.12-r4, lvm is no longer
initialized upon boot resulting in filesystem mount failures, services unable to
start, and general mayhem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use baselayout-1.11.13
2. Have some filesystems on lvm (/home, /usr, /var and /opt in my case)
3. Reboot

Actual Results:  
lvm was never initialized so when the filesystems were getting mounted, the ones
on lvm failed to mount. Since those are important system filesystems in my case,
most services failed to start and the system came up in a crippled state.

Expected Results:  
It should have all happened automatically and beautifully, of course. :)

what version of sys-fs/lvm2 do you have installed ?

[Comment 2 Duane Healing 2005-07-25 10:19:31 UTC]

I have sys-fs/lvm2-2.01.09.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2005-07-25 13:49:37 UTC]

try re-emerging it

you do have RC_VOLUME_ORDER set in /etc/conf.d/rc right ?

[Comment 4 Duane Healing 2005-07-30 01:57:37 UTC]

Not sure why, but when I first emerged it RC_VOLUME_ORDER wasn't in
/etc/conf.d/rc at all. /etc/init.d/checkfs and /etc/init.d/functions.sh were
also messed up. Since re-emerging they are all sane again and the problem has
gone away. Whatever caused them to get corrupted has not returned so I guess
everything is ok. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help.
