Bug Description
Binary package hint: mountall
Steps to reproduce:
- Snapshot a volume (for example: /dev/vg0/home)
- reboot
- Mountall will not mount the volume
- Go into a recovery shell
- try # mount /volume
mount: special device /dev/mapper/
- try # lvremove /dev/mapper/
- mount /home (yes, now /dev/mapper/
- Exit the recovery shell to continue
When trying this with UUID entries in /etc/fstab, you could end up with the snapshot mounted instead of the parent partition. In that case, you can't remove the snapshot and have to reboot until the 'correct' volume can't be found anymore.
