Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
Hi,
my system has its root FS on a crypted LV. Recently, before doing a
rather invasive update, I decided to take a snapshot of the root FS.
This confuses update-initramfs:
[29/526]mh@swivel:~/bigstuff/agent/running$ sudo lvcreate --snapshot --size 1G --name c_rootsnap /dev/swivel/c_root
Logical volume "c_rootsnap" created
[30/527]mh@swivel:~/bigstuff/agent/running$ sudo update-initramfs -k 2.6.33-zgws1 -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33-zgws1
mkinitramfs: for root /dev/mapper/root missing dm- /sys/block/ entry
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33-zgws1
[31/528]mh@swivel:~/bigstuff/agent/running$ sudo lvremove /dev/mapper/swivel-c_rootsnap
Do you really want to remove active logical volume c_rootsnap? [y/n]: y
Logical volume "c_rootsnap" successfully removed
[32/529]mh@swivel:~/bigstuff/agent/running$ sudo update-initramfs -k 2.6.33-zgws1 -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33-zgws1
W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays.
W: mdadm: no arrays defined in configuration file.
[33/530]mh@swivel:~/bigstuff/agent/running$
Greetings
Marc
