Bug#546817: lvm2: /dev/mapper empty

[Tino Keitel]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.51-4
Severity: normal

I just rebooted and after this my laptop with LVM2 on dm-crypt didn't boot
anymore, because it did not find the LVs. I found out that /dev/mapper is
empty except for /dev/mapper/control. But according to /proc/partitions, the
dm-crypt and the LVMs are already set up. I created the device nodes by hand
and was able to boot.

The last upgrade was today from lvm2 2.02.44-3 to 2.02.51-4. I read that
this new lvm2 version has udev support. I checked that udev is running, and
I also tried udevadm trigger and restarting udev. But it didn't help.

Any hints how I get a bootable laptop?

Regards,
Tino
