Bug Description
I am trying to move my root partition to an EVMS volume mounted on a RAID1 volume.
Prior to rebooting I am creating a new initrd file by the following call
mkinitrd -o /boot/tempinit -r /dev/evms/
This fails as follows:
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 5 left open
File descriptor 6 left open
File descriptor 7 left open
Finding all volume groups
Finding volume group "vg1"
Finding volume group "vgsys"
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: /dev/evms/
I am running Hoary Kubuntu AMD64. I do have LVM2 volumes but the root partition
is not on one. Not sure if relevant but the MD array is degraded at this point.

To post a comment you must log in.
EVMS appears to manage root-on-raid1 volume now for initramfs-tools 0.26 in
Breezy (although please use the newest one, 0.28 right now). initramfs-tools is
a complete rewrite of the early userspace system, and the old initrd-tools isn't
going to be fixed.
I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX for now, but if you have this problem on the
latest Breezy, please file a new bug.
Thanks!
