lvm on top of mdraid switches from /dev/md126p2 to /dev/sdb2

[Oleg Samarin <osamarin68@gmail.com>]

Hi!

I have an imsm raid-1 device /dev/md126 assembled of /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I have a lvm group on top of /dev/md126p2 with some logical volumes. All this work fine with Fedora 21.

I'm trying to fresh install Fedora 22 in some of lvm logical volume. I boot with Fedora USB live media and run "Install to hard disk". But anaconda does not see any existing lvm volumes so I can not choose them as a destination.

I've created a bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178181 on this issue.

After some discovering I found that the reason of this issue is that anaconda brakes lvm:

before launching anaconda pvdisplay reports there are two physical volumes /dev/md126p2 and /dev/sdc2 (/dev/sdc is an SSD that does not belong any raid and contains a separate lvm volume group)

after launching anaconda pvdisplay reports another two physical volumes /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdc2, that is wrong, because /dev/sdb is a part of /dev/md126 raid.

journalctl shows:

Seems lvm stopped using '/dev/md126p2'. Futhure lvm rescans force it to use /dev/sdb2 instead.

The attached storage.log contains a trace of udev events of this. All other logs are available

in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178181

What is wrong? How to force lvm to use /dev/md126p2 instead of /dev/sdb2 after starting anaconda?
