[Bug 445408] [NEW] lvm2 root partition should wait for udev to settle before giving up

Wed Oct 7 12:59:06 UTC 2009

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

I have a root partition layered over lvm, raid, and the sata_via kernel module.
It doesn't appear immediately, and local-top/lvm2 fails to find it.

Once initramfs bails to a shell, lvm vgscan && lvm vgchange -ay are
enough to make the partition available.

A mountroot fail hook (add_mountroot_fail_hook) in combination with
udevadm settle might be able to fix the problem, assuming the udev
scripts are synchronous and wait for array assembly and the like.
