11 It is not really a false alarm, LVM does fail here but tries again later
12 on and succeeds. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409921 covers it
13 and the workaround in comment 2 does it for me.

15 Basically, LVM is trying to write its lockfile to a readonly filesystem.
16 I'm going to try mounting /run on tmpfs in my initramfs as that is where
17 it is mounted now, but apparently too late for the first attempt at
18 starting LVM.
