Just updated my stable amd64 machine to use systemd and all is working |
| 2 |
okay except for the lvm.service. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
The lvm.service starts with no errors, but OTOH it finds no physical or |
| 5 |
logical volumes. I suspect this happens because the drive using lvm2 |
| 6 |
is in a usb3 external dock instead of attached to the mobo. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
When I run 'systemctl restart lvm' manually, the usb3 disk is activated |
| 9 |
and mounted successfully. Thus I think the lvm.service runs too early |
| 10 |
during boot. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Here is my lvm.service (which I copied from another distro, IIRC): |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
#cat /etc/systemd/system/lvm.service |

Is there an elegant way to fix the problem as opposed to a hack? |

Thanks for any clues. |
