Bug#555958: lvm2: doesn't boot if root fs is an LVM snapshot

Thu Dec 2 22:30:38 UTC 2010

Tags: patch

The problem lies in the initramfs script:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2

It attempts to activate the LV specified as "root=" but this call fails 
for snapshots - the origin volume needs to be activated instead.

Please see the attached patch that adds snapshot support. It was 
successfully tested on my system.

Paweł Pawliński
