I have 3 systems (call them system1, system2 and system3). I have tested all alpha/beta release of 42.2 on systems 1 and 2. The install on system3 is new for Beta2. On system1 and system3, I am having LVM issues. It seems to be intermittant. Sometimes it boots okay and sometimes it goes into emergency mode. (If I set "use_lvmetad = 0" then the system always boots okay). On system2, I have never had a problem. Here is what I suspect is the main difference. On system1 and system3, the root, swap and home all come from the encrypted LVM. On system2, the root file system is a separate (unencrypted) partition with only swap and home coming from the encrypted LVM. On system1 and system3, when boot fails (goes to emergency mode), I look at "/dev/mapper". Always the root volume and the swap volume have been mapped, but nothing else is mapped. When it boot successfully, everything is mapped. My best guess is that there is a timing issue. And maybe that has something to do with the switchover from using the initrd to using the root file system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
