with this patch the system boots successfully
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119975, created probably when selinux was enabled by default, talks about the same problem: - lvm vgscan --mknodes exits with code 5 Although it was resolved, the problem is still present in FC 2. Added in CVS, will be in 7.58-1. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: If a system with selinux enabled has /var on a separate partition, then the lvm2 volumes are not activated at the first boot after install and the system stops at the filesystems checking stage. From rc.sysinit: if /sbin/lvm.static vgscan > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then action $"Setting up Logical Volume Management:" /sbin/lvm.static vgchange -a y && /sbin/lvm vgmknodes fi When the above vgscan is run, only / is mounted and /var is not mounted. vgscan fails and exits with code 5 because the /var directory has the wrong context and /var/lock does not exist, preventing this way the creation of the /var/lock/lvm directory. One solution could be to tell the lvm2 tools to ignore the locking failures. With a patched initscripts installed by the kickstart postinstallation script, the first boot of the system is OK, the device nodes are created, the logical volumes are activated and the boot finishes successfully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.53-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a system with selinux enabled, lvm2 volumes, /var on a separate partition (in my case / and /var are on separate logical volumes). 2. Reboot at the end of the installation. Actual Results: The system stops at the file systems checking stage because the logical volumes have not been activated. Expected Results: The boot process should finish successfully. Additional info:
