--- Begin Message ---Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.00-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Problem description: ------------------- After upgrading to lvm2 2.02.00-1 and the required libdevmapper1.02, the system was unable to complete booting, as no LVs were reachable: the system was unusable and could not be used to fix itself. (The metadata is in lvm2 format.) vgscan worked OK. vgchange -a y was broken, spewing lots of: device-mapper: one of name or uuid must be supplied, cmd(9) device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument and finally claiming 18 logical volume(s) in volume group "base_vg" now active However, they were not accessible and the boot process was unable to finish. vgchange -a n also failed: device-mapper: one of name or uuid must be supplied, cmd(11) device-mapper ioctl cmd 11 failed: Invalid argument _deps: task run failed for (254:0) Failed to add device (254:0) to dtree device-mapper: one of name or uuid must be supplied, cmd(11) device-mapper ioctl cmd 11 failed: Invalid argument _deps: task run failed for (254:1) Failed to add device (254:1) to dtree ... dmsetup ls was OK. dmsetup table showed only: base_vg-usr: base_vg-var: ... i.e. the names were known, but the tables were missing. Solution: -------- After downgrading to lvm2 2.01.14-3 (and thus libdevmapper1.02) the system worked again. To archive this, a rescue system was needed, as /usr/ (apt-get) and /var/ (apt/sources.list) etc. were all unreachable. Note: ---- I am not 100% sure if it is libdevmapper1.02 or lvm2, however, lvm2 Version 2.01.14-3 works with: rm /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.01 ln -s /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02 /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.01 Thus the problem probably is within lvm2 v2.02.00-1.
