Bug#445876: initramfs-tools: DEVICE /dev/sd* in mdadm.conf prevents finding of lvm volume groups
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85h
Severity: normal
hi,
having
DEVICE /dev/sd*
or
DEVICE /dev/sd[ab]
in mdadm.conf (as specified in the mdadm.conf manpage) prevents finding of root lvm volumegroup by initrd.
setting
DEVICE partitions
and then running update-initramfs -u solves this problem.
regards
martin sofaru
