Problem Description ------------------- On zSeries machines, zSeries Fibre Channel Adapter devices are brought online by the zcfpconf.sh script provided in s390utils: [ -x /sbin/zfcpconf.sh ] && /sbin/zfcpconf.sh This is called from rc.sysinit after initial LVM setup completes so any LVM PVs present on zfcp devices are not discovered by the initial vgscan/vgchange. A second pass LVM init is carried out, but only if an /etc/mdadm.conf file for Software RAID exists. Steps to reproduce ------------------ 1. Create an LVM2 volume group on zfcp attached storage 2. Confirm the VG is accessible 3. Reboot the system 4. Run vgs or vgdisplay Actual Result: The VG on zfcp storage is not shown. Expected Result: The VG on zfcp storage is activated at boot.
Created attachment 132384 [details] proposed patch to rc.sysinit Proposed patch to rc.sysinit attached: - Move mdadm-specifics out of 2nd pass LVM activation - Add check for /etc/multipath.conf before mp initialization - Add check for /etc/zfcp.conf to 2nd pass LVM activation
Why not just move it earlier?
