Description of problem: When using LVM hosttags and a root partition under LVM, mkinitrd should include any lvm_<host_tag>.conf files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-28 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use an LV as the root partition 2. Add 'tags { hosttags = 1 }' to lvm.conf 3. Create a file /etc/lvm/lvm_$(uname -n).conf that contains 'activation { volume_list=["@<hostname>"] }' where <hostname> equals the output from 'uname -n'. 4. Add a host tag to the VG containing the root partition with 'vgchange --addtag $(uname -n) <vol_group>' 5. Create new initrd 6. Reboot Actual results: Machine panics. Can't mount root partition because the VG is never activated. Expected results: Normal bootup. Additional info: A workaround exists: Don't use lvm_<host_tag>.conf. Put everything in lvm.conf.
