[Bug 1467153] [NEW] LVM VG not activated at boot, no snapshots used

 

Public bug reported:

The symptoms for this bug are very similar to those of #1396213: booting
(a freshly installed wily VM) drops me to the (initramfs) prompt because
the root filesystem (root=/dev/mapper/VG-root) cannot be found. Typing
"vgchange -a y; exit" at the (initramfs) prompt allows the boot to
continue normally.

The reason I'm filing a separate bug is that the discussion of #1396213
blames the problem on LVM snapshots and my setup does not have a
snapshot: it happens on a system freshly installed using d-i, on the
first reboot after installation (and on all subsequent reboots so far).
As a result, I am not sure the root cause is the same.

I've tried rootdelay=120 but that did not help.
