Summary: after 12.1->12.2 upgrade, system with ROOT on
LVM-on-RAID fails to boot; loops VG not found/partial
mode
Classification: openSUSE
Product: openSUSE 12.2
Version: Final
Platform: All
OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2
Status: NEW
Severity: Critical

My a number opensuse 12.1 boxes that have:
/boot on RAID-1
/root on LVM on RAID-10
They've been configured and running that way, without issue, for a long time.
I'm working on 12.1->12.2 upgrades.
The upgrades were performed by
(1) adding the full isntall DVD as a priority 98 (1 above default 99) source
(2) zypper dup
(3) remove/disable the DVD source
(4) zypper dup
All boxes that have NO raid involvement have upgraded without incident; boot is
fine.
On all boxes that have a RAID array +LVMs, post 12.1->12.2 upgrade fail to
find their respective VolumeGroups.
They boot, 'thru' grub, but only get so far as the boot console endlessly
looping the following message:
"Volume Group "VG_XX" not found.
Partial Mode. Incomplete logical volumes will not be processed"
I've verified that it's not a problem with the array -- it assembles fine if I
boot from a non-systemd-init rescue disk, e.g. SystemRescueCD.
I've been asked (by AJaeger @ #opensuse-factory) to file this bug, and attache
a photo of the boot screen and to "use the rescue system to show the setup".
I've attached the photo here, but boot from the Opensuse 122 full-install
diskis'sresuce system fails. It just hangs at the 'green screen + chameleon'.
Attempting to booting from a sysvinit fallback init via the grub prompt to
switch the init system
, specifying "init=/sbin/init.sysv.fallback" on kernel grub line, unfortunately
does NOT fix the problem; same error -- not finding the VG. Again, boot from
'systemrescueCD' does find the array.
This is true on 3 different upgraded machines I've just checked.
Chatting in #lvm, the following was offered:

it does look like a different issue The Xen bits have been split off to
Looks like an upgrade to release version of Xen (tentatively) fixes that.
I've got another mdadm issue that I'm awaiting confirmation of the fix for. Once that is confirmed I'll see about scheduling an update to fix this bug and that one.
Do you have a *rough* idea of timeframe? Looking for 'soon' vs 'next point release' to help with upgrade planning & testing. Thanks. -- 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.

I think a comment gets automatically added when the package is made available.
It doesn't. Imo, it should.
