Package: dmsetup Version: 2:1.02.77-6+b1 Severity: serious Justification: makes the system not boot
Hi, after about two weeks uptime in sid I decided to reboot because there is a new kernel, but both the new and the old fail to come up (because the initrd was regenerated apparently). My setup is: two HDDs with a swap and a 0xDA partition, each, the latter backing a RAID-1 array: md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 311390400 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU] Inside /dev/md1 there's an LVM pv, vg, with the lv that hosts the root filesystem (no separate /boot since GRUB manages just fine). I ended up in the (initramfs) shell with both 3.10-[23] with cat /proc/mdstat being empty. Manually running… $ mdadm --assemble --scan $ lvm pvscan $ lvm vgscan $ lvm lvscan … made everything come up as needed, so why doesn't the initrd do that? I did manage to boot into the system by editing the GRUB command line and adding “rootdelay=5” even though it did not delay at all. I don't even claim to understand what, and why, is going on, but I normally expect such a setup to boot out-of-the-box in 2013, and I especially consider requiring manual changes like this to be unacceptable for a major GNU distribution, and a pretty standard setup, in 2013; imagine this being a headless server which suddenly doesn’t come up any more… (this setup i̲̲s̲ common on server systems, after all)! -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Versions of packages dmsetup depends on: ii libc6 2.17-93 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.77-6+b1 ii libudev1 204-5 ii util-linux 2.20.1-5.5 dmsetup recommends no packages. dmsetup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
