Bug#374378: initramfs-tools: Fails to initialize LVM if pvmove was ran without completing
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.60
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
If pvmove was ran on the system and did not complete (eg due to a crash, power
failure, etc), LVM2 requires the "mirror" dm target to activate the VG
By default the initrd only contains dm-mod and dm-snapshot kernel modules.
Thus making a system with root on LVM unbootable under the above condition.
This problem should whould probably be fixed by adding dm-mirror module to the
default initrd configuration, and making the scripts load it before
initializing LVM.
