[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#718190: systemd: sometimes computer doesn't boot. It seems a problem with lvm.

[Antonio-M. Corbi Bellot]

Package: systemd
Version: 204-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After installing systemd from experimental the boot process sometimes hangs and
sometimes (the least) works as expected.

   * What led up to the situation?

Installing systemd from experimental (204-2).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

When boot hangs...I get dropped into a shell, issuing there this command:
"vgchange -a y" and exiting with Ctrl-D is effective.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The boot continues and ends up as expected, i.e. the system is working ok.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

With systemd from testing/unstable (systemd 44-12) the boot process doesn't
need this action to work as expected.
