Hello, Gentoo. |
| 2 |
|

My system isn't booting. In particular, most of the SSD partitions |
| 4 |
won't mount, because they are not under /dev any more. The root |
| 5 |
partition, /dev/md125 mounts, but that is all. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
These partitions are lvm partitions under RAID-1 (software RAID). They |
| 8 |
simply fail to appear in /dev/mapper on boot up. (I don't remember the |
| 9 |
exact error message, here). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I've managed to bring my system up using a Rescue-DVD followed by |
| 12 |
chroot. This shows that the partions on the SSD are basically |
| 13 |
undamaged. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I strongly suspect that my emerge update from last night is to blame. |
| 16 |
There, lvm2-2.03.17-r1 was reinstalled after other packages |
| 17 |
(dependencies) were updated. The order of these packages, taken from |
| 18 |
/var/log/emerge.log was: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
1. dev-libs/mpfr-4.1.1_p1 |
| 21 |
2. dev-lang/mujs-1.3.2 |
| 22 |
3. sys-apps/util-linux-2.38.1 |
| 23 |
4. sys-apps/systemd-utils-251.10 |
| 24 |
5. dev-python/installer-0.6.0 |
| 25 |
6. app-text/lib-paper-2.0.4 |
| 26 |
7. app-misc/ca-certificates-20211016.3.86 |
| 27 |
8. sys-fs/lvm2-2.03.17-r1 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
.. There were a few more packages after that, a total of 23. If any of |
| 30 |
these is relevant, then it is surely 3. or 4. lvm2 itself was merely |
| 31 |
rebuilt. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I've had a quick scan of the gentoo bugzilla, but not found anything |
| 34 |
relevant there. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Please help me get my system booting again! |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Thanks! |
