Hi all,

there was a thread in here in 2009 dealing with lvm2 initialisation on bootup:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-390@vm.m.../msg52937.html
but we are running lvm2-2.02.84-3.25.5 now.

I am now preparing a SLES11 SP2 autoyast profile for initial server installation using an LVM layout.

/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0201-part1 to /boot
/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0201-part2 is an lvm partition
/dev/rootvg1/homelv to /home
/dev/rootvg1/rootlv to /
/dev/rootvg1/tmplv  to /tmp
/dev/rootvg1/varlv  to /var

We are running this layout via autoyast installer on SLES 10 for years by now.

When installing via the yast interface everything is fine. When using the same dasd layout via autoyast i am getting following messages:

Waiting for device /dev/rootvg1/rootlv to appear: .  Reading all physical volume
s.  This may take a while...
  No volume groups found
  Volume group "rootvg1" not found
  Volume group "rootvg1" not found
.  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  No volume groups found

I modified init in initd by adding "set -x".
So i get follwing from the console for the autoyast installed server:

++ source boot/04-udev.sh                
+++ '¬' -n '' '|'                        
+++ echo 'udev_log="error"'              
+++ echo 'Creating device nodes with udev'
Creating device nodes with udev          
+++ /sbin/udevd --daemon                 
+++ /sbin/udevadm trigger --action=add   
+++ wait_for_events                      
+++ /sbin/udevadm settle --timeout=30    
udev: starting version 147               
++ '¬' '' '|'                            
++ '¬' '' '|'                            
++ '¬' -x /sbin/blogd '|'                
++ '¬' '' '|'                            
++ source boot/05-blogd.sh               

And for the manually installed server it looks like this:
++ source boot/04-udev.sh                                                      
+++ '¬' -n '' '|'                                                              
+++ echo 'udev_log="error"'                                                    
+++ echo 'Creating device nodes with udev'

++ '¬' '' '|'                                                                  
++ '¬' '' '|'                                                                  
++ '¬' -x /sbin/blogd '|'                                                      
++ '¬' '' '|'                                                                  
++ source boot/05-blogd.sh                                                     

Which is more reasonable to me.

Is this a known issue ?
Any help or ideas appreciated.

Kind regards,

Tobias Doerkes.
