I just upgraded to the latest version (2.02.98-3) of lvm2. But I'm
still having the same issue: when I boot into single user mode, my lvm
volumes aren't seen and so any mounts time out.
Any idea what the problem might be or a fix/workaround?
The problem in the new setup is that lvmetad.socket and dmeventd.socket
are required by sockets.target, which is pulled in by basic.target, but
not by sysinit.target. As rescue.target (which is activated by the
'single' option) only depends on sysinit.target, LVM will not be
activated.
A solution would be to to add lvmetad.socket and dmeventd.socket to
sysinit.target.wants instead of sockets.target.wants. In fact, this is
probably the correct thing to do to make rescue.target work.
Is this a change I would need to make locally, or something that's
planned to get included into the next lvm2 package release?
Well, both. First, you could test it locally. This would suffice:
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/{lvmetad.socket,dmeventd.socket}
/etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/
(The changes you made in /etc/ above concern your machine and expand
what the package does, pacman never interferes here.)
Then, we could include it in a future package, if that indeed solves the
problem.
OK. Will test this out (probably not until tonight) and report back.
Thanks,
