Bug is more generic. Basically if some device listed in /etc/fstab is not available mountall job will hang forever. Example:
1. System has root crypted with password 2. All LVM volumes are on disk crypted with key file placed on root device 3. fstab contains references to LVM volumes Result: 1. Systems asks for root device password and it is successfully mounted 2. System doesn't decrypt disk with LVM volumes 3. LVM volumes are not available so mountall hangs and systemd doesn't boot As previously, this can be fixed with simple script in /etc/initramfs- tools/scripts/local-bottom that decrypts LVM disk and issues lvm vgchange -ay. Again, problem doesn't exist when using systemd. ** Summary changed: - Upstart waits indefinitely for LVM devices making boot process hang + Upstart (mountall job) waits indefinitely for devices making boot process hang -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672659 Title: Upstart (mountall job) waits indefinitely for devices making boot process hang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1672659/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
