Bug#775583: New initramfs-tools boot script needed to activate VG needed only for /usr
Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.111-2 Severity: serious initramfs-tools 0.117 added mounting of /usr from the initramfs. Currently, if /usr is on a VG that is not also used by root or a hibernation device, that VG is not activated and the user must explicitly activate it through the emergency shell. I believe it is necessary to add a new script stage to support this. I'll send a proposed script shortly.

I would like to add that my setup uses UUID, for a long time, and LVM works with this (1), at least for / But for a separated /usr, it do not work anymore :( I get an emergency console and have to manually active my usr LV. (1) ie, in /etc/fstab : UUID=... /ext4 ... UUID=... /boot ext4 ... UUID=... /usr ext4 ... UUID=... /var ext4 ...

I'd just like to add a note that I have this problem when booting with grub2 -> systemd option (default or advanced menu), but not with grub2 -> sysvinit (advanced menu). regards Richard Boardman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
