After upgrading to Fedora 38 my system failed to boot. An on-screen Stack Trace was the result, headed by the line: device-mapper:cache: bad config value for cleaner: 1 This was clearly not a kernel problem, because the same kernel for Fedora 37 was still booting fine. Must be a userspace problem, possbly dracut but more likely lvm. After removing a cachesettings "cleaner=1" the system was able to boot again. Unfortunately this was not trivial, both these failed: lvchange --cachesettings "" /dev/base/lukscache lvchange --cachesettings "default" /dev/base/lukscache The only way to fix this was: - vgcfgbackup - remove the cleaner=0 setting in the backup file - vgcfgrestore Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a running Fedora 37 systeme with lvm-cache with cachesettings "cleaner=1" 2. Upgrade to Fedora 38 3. Try to boot Actual Results: Boot failure Expected Results: Booting system For me this is no urgent matter because all is working again, but a less knowledgeable user may be stuck with a broken system.
