Having observed all the ranting, I thought I would try systemd on a laptop. It |
| 2 |
actually seems to work quite well and it is a lot faster. However I am having |
| 3 |
trouble getting my LVM partitions mounted. I installed the LVM service unit |
| 4 |
from the Gentoo Wiki but it never completes, timing-out on a job that mounts |
| 5 |
/var. The VG is actually created by an initramfs and when systemd dumps you |
| 6 |
out to the emergency shell you can use lvs to see the volumes, /dev/mapper has |
| 7 |
all the correct devices and "dmsetup ls" shows the LVs. In fact, everything |
| 8 |
appears as it should, the partitions just don't get mounted. I circumvented |
| 9 |
this by putting "mount -a" in the lvm.service unit, which then completes and |
| 10 |
the mount jobs time-out. Everything seems to be OK but it is a bit of a |
| 11 |
kludge. One thing I notice is: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
# udevadm info -p /dev/mapper/vg00-rootfs -q all |
| 14 |
syspath not found |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Udev seems not to know about the LVs. Any ideas? |
