I tend to try not to. |
35 |
If you had mentioned a random package X instead of systemd, my comment would |
36 |
have mentioned random package X. |
37 |
|
38 |
I don't use systemd, but as it's pushed by Redhat and redhat, by default, uses |
39 |
LVM, I would expect that part to work correctly together. |

lvm-utils? |

Ok, to get this straight. |
52 |
You have x amount of disks |
53 |
those are in 2 raid-arrays |
54 |
on top of that, you have LVM... |
55 |
|
56 |
Can you check that LVM is WAITING for the MDADM arrays to be build? |
57 |
|
58 |
This sounds like an issue I was having a while ago. I had to add an extra |
59 |
dependency to the start-up scripts at the time. |

72 |
Or enable interactive boot where you can press "I" to have every service ask |
73 |
if it needs to be started. Then skip LVM. |
74 |
Do you have parallel-boot enabled with OpenRC? |
75 |
If yes, disable that just to make sure that isn't causing the issue with |
76 |
OpenRC. |
77 |
With systemd, I would recommend checking the dependencies between mdadm and |
78 |
lvm. |
