Created attachment 805843 [details] Patch to fix LVM on MD activation We need the patch for F19 as well (so LVM can add a patch to solve bug #985638 and bug #1002144). +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1011704 +++ Description of problem: lvm2-2.02.102-1.fc21does not boot reverting to 02.99-2.fc20 fixes the system --- Additional comment from Nicolas Mailhot on 2013-09-24 23:31:08 CEST --- --- Additional comment from Nicolas Mailhot on 2013-09-24 23:31:51 CEST --- --- Additional comment from Peter Rajnoha on 2013-09-25 16:41:52 CEST --- OK, I've managed to reproduce - the problem here is that the volume is on an MD device which is activated in initrd. There's some missing information we need in udev database which is not handed over after transition to root fs. I'll have a think how to cope with this the best way... but I think we'll need an update for dracut to include some more udev rules in initrd so the udev database is complete when running the udev trigger at boot after change to root fs... --- Additional comment from Peter Rajnoha on 2013-10-01 13:09:47 CEST --- Harald, we need the patch attached so that the LVM on MD is properly activated. The 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules set some udev env. variables that makes it possible to detect the right time to activate LVM on MD. The MD is very similar to DM during activation - it's usable only after proper device activation - the CHANGE event. We need to make a difference between a CHANGE event that comes from this activation and CHANGE event that is the outcome of the WATCH udev rule (otherwise we'd end up with LVM activation done on each CHANGE event - which is wrong). So we need the udev databse to be persistent during pivot to root fs even for MD devices. (also related bug #985638 and bug #1002144)
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
