LVM not activated on boot in linux mdraid (Fedora 28)

[Patrick Dung <mpatdung@gmail.com>]

Hello.

I have upgraded a host to Fedora 28. Using the new dracut to rebuilt initramfs, new kernel and old kernel would fail to boot. If I use the old kernel without touching the initramfs, it would boot.

I tried downgrading to old dracut and the problem persist.

The boot problem is that I can see my RAID but it failed to activate the root (/) LVM on the mdraid.

It had error message like this in dracut shell:

+ lvm pvdisplay
  WARNING: PV mphetV-LMWe-se6x-86Bv-osHk-rVk2-K01UNk on /dev/sdb2 was already found on /dev/sda2.
  WARNING: PV mphetV-LMWe-se6x-86Bv-osHk-rVk2-K01UNk on /dev/md126 was already found on /dev/sda2.
  WARNING: PV mphetV-LMWe-se6x-86Bv-osHk-rVk2-K01UNk prefers device /dev/sda2 because device was seen first.
  WARNING: PV mphetV-LMWe-se6x-86Bv-osHk-rVk2-K01UNk prefers device /dev/md126 because device size is correct.

I had opened a bug in Fedora bugzilla, it had all the details:

Thanks,

Patrick
