Description Bernhard Wiedemann 2013-01-15 10:27:35 UTC

also occurred on 12.2

Step To Reproduce:
1. have an install in partitions
2. do with a spare disk or partition
pvcreate /dev/vdb
vgcreate vg0 /dev/vdb
lvcreate -n test -L 1G vg0
mkdir /test
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg0/test
echo /dev/vg0/test /test ext4 data=writeback 0 0 >> /etc/fstab 
mount /test
reboot


Actual Results:
fails to boot, goes into offline emergency mode
which sucks when this happens to a remote headless server

Expected Results:
should start vg0 on boot (vgchange -ay vg0)
or in case of problems (e.g. bad disk) boot up without it
(as can be done by adding the nofail option)

it works, when setting up the LV with yast2 disk

Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2013-02-18 13:26:28 UTC

Hannes just created an update for multipath-tools - is this a dup of #799274 ?

Comment 3 Hannes Reinecke 2013-11-19 08:32:38 UTC

Nothing to do with multipath. This is plain LVM.

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2014-08-06 08:32:49 UTC

is still valid?

Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2014-09-17 14:16:04 UTC

sounds like it
