From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Epiphany/1.1.12 Description of problem: /sbin/lvm in this RPM is linked dynamically to three(3) libraries under /usr/lib (libreadline.so.4, libncurses.so.5, and libgpm.so.1). At boot, /sbin/lvm is called from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit at line 378, but /usr--if a separate partition--is not mounted/available until line 605 of same. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lvm2-2.00.10-1.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a system with /usr as separate from / filesystem 2. Error: /sbin/lvm: libreadline.so.4 not found 3. Enter root passwd at sulogin prompt 4. `e2fsck -y /dev/<where /usr is>; mount /dev/</usr> /usr' 5. run /sbin/lvm --mknodes[...] as "usual." Actual Results: System works OK after steps 3. - 5., but on reboot, we're back in the same mess Expected Results: Simply boot the system as before the "upgrade" to lvm2-2.00.10-1.3 Additional info: Will roll back to other lvm2 version, until this is fixed

rc.sysinit should be using lvm.static not lvm.
Created attachment 99403 [details] Test patch for /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
Created attachment 99405 [details] Additional patch
2 patches to rc.sysinit attached to fix the init script to use the static version of the binary instead of the dynamically-linked one.
2.00.12 released which moves the non-static binaries to /usr/sbin and has a temporary workaround (extra symlinks in /sbin) until initscripts gets updated with the attached patches.
This is fixed in 7.50-1.
