https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215353 Bug ID: 215353 Summary: VMWare LVM partitions not recognized, sees base disk, fails to Boot Product: SCSI Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 5.4.126+ Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: DC395X Assignee: scsi_drivers-dc395x@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: richr410@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No Hello, VMWare LVM partitions are not recognized by the 5.4.126+ LT kernels; it sees the base /dev/sda disk, but thats its, stalls, fails to Boot trying to access "/dev/mapper/...." Kernels 5.4.125 and prior DO WORK, but 5.4.126+ DO NOT. I have been able to isolate the kernel failing to commit "1e209effe36cbf0a939844bcf9defd3fe1e2f593" in LT kernel 5.4.126. [And Yes the "rd.lvm.lv=" and VG/LV names match the grub line (ie. lvs -o vg_name,lv_name)] So commit "1e209effe36cbf0a939844bcf9defd3fe1e2f593" BREAKS kernel recognition of VMWare LVM partitions (but yes kernel DOES see /dev/sda but thats it). This is on ESX 6.7. Thanks -- You may reply to this email to add a comment. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
