oHi,
...and sorry if this has been discussed before; I was not able to
find a searchable archive of this list, and google did not help
either...
After upgrading a system from Fedora 27 to Fedroa 28 it fails to boot
because it cannot find the root file system. The root file system is
in a logical volume; the respective physical volume is a mdadm RAID1
array. The reason for the failure is that the volume group has not
been activated, and trying to do so manually fails as well:
# cat /proc/mdstat

When booting the same system (and the same root file system) suing
the previous (Fedora 27) kernel and ramdisk, it works fine.
I wonder if this is a generic LVM issue or a Fedora specific
problem; given that Fedora 27 has lvm2-2.02.175-1.fc27.x86_64
while Fedora 28 has lvm2-2.02.177-4.fc28.x86_64, which are
essentially the same upstream version, I tend to believe this is a
Fedora thing?

Any help how to fix/avoid this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
