Description Erik P. Olsen 2005-10-06 21:53:16 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
Getting following message at boot time:
"Setting up Logical Volume Management:  /var/lock:  mkdir failed: Read-
only filesystem."
Reason is probably that /var is a separate partition which is "read only" at boot time. Therefore no lock can be held until the partition is set to "read/write" mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Fedora Core 4 system with /var as separate partition
2. Boot the system
3.
  

Actual Results:  Following message is displayed:
"Setting up Logical Volume Management:  /var/lock:  mkdir failed: Read-
only filesystem."

Expected Results:  No error message.

Additional info:

Since FC3 does not have this bug, maybe then the FC3 method of serialising the process should be retrofitted into FC4.

Dmraid must be called with --ignorelocking in initscripts, see bug 168195.
