Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm using in my grub configuration Labels to point out, where my Rootfs
is located.
This looks like # kopt=root=LABEL=ROOT ro
When the vlm2 initramfs-tools script runs this is translated so that
$ROOT is something like /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT
The script don't activates the vg's so that my root-fs is missing.

I have in the switch statement in the activate_vg function the following
lines appended and now it works (for me):
	
	/dev/disk/by-label*)
		lvm vgchange -aly --ignorelockingfailure
		exit 0
		;;

I hope this can be fixed in the package,
Thanks and best regards
Ingo Rauschenberg

closing as bug is not really about initramfs,                                   
but more a lvm2 specific that it needs no UUID or LABEL
                                                                                
workaround to use real device aka /dev/mapper/vg-lv is easy                     
and recommend. it is the one that debian-installer uses.                        
                                                                                
thanks for report
