vgscan in init.d/lvm doesn't exit

[Sam Liddicott]

Binary package hint: lvm-common

Since yesterdays updates, /etc/init.d/lvm hangs while doing:

/sbin/vgscan --ignorelockingfailure --mknodes

as part of rc0.d

ctrl-alt-delete skips the rest of rc0 (why doesn't ^C work these days?) and continues boot, whereupon I can pkill vscan and "/etc/init.d/lvm start" again and it works, followed by "mount -a"

Whats vgscan doing? Why does it succeed later?
(My home directories is a 20-odd partition volume group on hdb - don't ask why)

Maybe related, earlier I had to put

exclude = [ hda* hda sda* sda ]

in various sections /etc/evms.conf otherwise evms went mad failing to add some partitions which were there?

This should be fixed with today's, udev, devmapper and evms uploads

I have the same problem today. If you have the patience to wait about 4-5 minutes the boot process will continue as normal.

Fixed for me with latest releases.

thanks
