[SOLVED] LVM2 and systemd

drumz · 10-21-2021, 08:27 AM

As already reported LVM2 2.03.14 now depends on systemd in its udev rules.

This is the commit that made the breaking change:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.g...e14bd739c5c0f6

The old /lib/udev/rules.d/69-dm-lvm.rules file still exists in the source tree https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.g...les.in;hb=HEAD, but the above commit replaces it with a new version of the file. I don't know if there is a configure option to restore this old file.

I haven't reported to upstream as I don't have a Red Hat Bugzilla account.

I take a look at gentoo and their openRC version
lvm2 2.03.14 has not been tested yet

I wonder if simply changing it to use 'setsid -f' as follows would suffice.

Code:

ENV{LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE}=="?*", RUN+="/usr/bin/setsid -f lvm vgchange -aay --nohints $env{LVM_VG_NAME_COMPLETE}"

It'd achieve the same goal: of putting the activation in the background.

Thu Oct 21 19:36:32 UTC 2021 current update, which downgrades lvm2 back to 2.03.13, fixes mounting for me.
