Bug#615074: installation-reports: LVM partitions unusable during lenny->squeeze upgrade
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
Hi,
During the lenny->squeeze upgrade I noticed that right after the first
reboot (item 4.4.5 in the squeeze release notes) my logical volumes were not
found any more.
I have the LVM set up on IDE disks. Before the reboot the PV's were on
/dev/hda11, /dev/hda14 etc. Right after the reboot the pv were "moved" to
/dev/sda11, /dev/sda14, etc. and hence were not found any more. Some file
systems could not be mounted.
During the upgrade of lvm by calling "apt-get dist-upgrade" everything has
been fixed, but until then these file systems were unavailable.
I suggest to add another point to the release notes (right between 4.4.5.
and 4.4.6.): the lvm software should be upgraded manually at this point and
all missing lvm based file systems should be mounted.
Many thanks,
Hilmar
