Bug#715184: lvm2 still doesn't active volume group at boot time

[Bjoern Buerger]

Dear Maintainers of lvm2 and initramfs-tools. 

For the second time since mid-2013, I got hit by the "lvm2 still doesn't 
active volume group at boot time" bug:

lvm2 version is 2.02.104-2 in both cases.

Please at least try to merge some of the outstanding bug-reports:
742962, 711147, 715184 are all describing the same problem.

Quick and dirty Workaround:

 activate_vg "$ROOT"
 activate_vg "$resume"
 
+vgchange -a y 
+sleep 5

 exit 0


... and then rebuild the initramfs.

I am sure there's a better solution, but I am no lvm2/initramfs expert :o)

Hth,
