[systemd-devel] Possible race condition with LVM activation during boot

[suscricions at gmail.com]

Hi,

First of all apologies if this is not the correct channel to request
for help with this issue. I've tried asking in Arch Linux forums
without luck for the moment.

Long story short, from time to time I'm dropped to a rescue shell
during boot because of a logical volume that cannot be found, so the
respective .mount service fails making the local-fs.target stop normal
boot process.

local-fs.target: Job local-fs.target/start failed with result
'dependency'.

Under normal circumstances I'd assume that a logical volume should be
activated first in order to be mounted, but a few times mounting happens
first so causing the error. I think this can be a race condition or
something similar because strikes randomly. Booting again avoids the
problem for the moment, which happened twice during past days.

All the relevant parts from logs and information about my system
partition scheme is posted here:

Hope some of you can help me to find the root cause and again apologies
if this is not the place or the issue is too obvious.


Best.
