My system:
* three harddisks
* WD 750GB
* WD 150GB (raptor)
* OCZ Vertex3 120GB
* one volume group on the WD 750GB HDD
* one LV within VG to be mounted at boot (via fstab)
* root filesystem is on the Vertex3 SSD. Maybe there is a timing issue, the SSD is quite fast.
Symtoms on my host
* Only happens occasionally on boot; mostly after a cold-start
* my system boots after a delay of about 60s, but my root partition is still mounted read-only
* aside from root, none of the other partitions in fstab is mounted
* X11 does not start (because of read-only mount)
* I can login, but /home is not mounted
* like with the original reporter, "vgchange -a y" hangs. I found it to hang in "semtimedop".
Here is a "me too" posting.
