This stems from setup-dm.sh examining "dmsetup table" output to figure out which dm modules need to be included into the initrd. Example output: sysvg-rootlv-real: 0 4194304 linear 9:1 419430784 sysvg-rootlv_postinstall-cow: 0 2097152 linear 9:1 423625088 sysvg-rootlv_postinstall: 0 4194304 snapshot 253:5 253:7 P 8 sysvg-rootlv: 0 4194304 snapshot-origin 253:5 Here it is correct to assume "snapshot" is a dm target, however "snapshot-origin" is not (belongs to "snapshot" as well) and thus a special exception to avoid the error message. Attached trivial patch fixes this. Please apply. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure /root is on LVM or otherwise make sure mkinitrd takes care of including LVM 2. lvcreate a snapshot volume of an arbitrary LV 3. Call mkinitrd Actual Results: Error messages about "dm-snapshot-origin" module that could not be found. Expected Results: No error message. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
