[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#736092: systemd-sysv: Systemd mount lvm root but do not mount /usr on lvm.

[Guillaume Seren]

Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 204-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hello dear Maintener,
I have installed systemd on several debian boxes around me,
based on systemd and systemd-sysv.

It fail to mount the usr partition witch is a logical-volume,
it was working well with sysvinit, so I suspect to come from systemd-sysv.

When I try to boot, it show up an error :
[FAILED] Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File Systems.
See 'systemctl status systemd-remount-fs.service' for details.
[......] systemd[1]: Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File Systems.
[......] systemd[1]: Unit systemd-remount-fs.service entered failed state.
[......] systemd[1]: Started Various fixup to make systemd work better on debian.
[  *** ] (2 of 5) A start job is running for dev-840\x2d\x2dpro\x2d\x2d256\x2dtmp.device

And it fail to mount it too, so drop me to emergency console,
witch show that just root is well mounted.

My setup (not so strange, I hope), is full LVM,
and got a distinct volume for : root, usr, var, tmp, home.

This is my fstab :
# <file system>                                 <mount point>   <type>      <options>                               <dump>  <pass>
/dev/mapper/840--pro--256-root                  /               ext4        discard,noatime,rw,errors=remount-ro    0       1 
UUID="246c0cc0-2632-4c95-ad26-482d25e2bdee"     /usr            ext4        discard,noatime,rw,errors=remount-ro    0       1
UUID="6b638a81-2ce9-4c39-a3ed-9bd3d7b6508e"     /var            ext4        discard,noatime,rw,errors=remount-ro    0       1
UUID="ba875131-e6a5-4808-9e34-4a94ab5906de"     /tmp            ext4        discard,noatime,rw,errors=remount-ro    0       1
UUID="f2ad93f8-f2ef-4172-8c56-d01f7cc5f34b"     none            swap        discard,noatime,sw                      0       0
UUID="34ad3bbb-9148-46f1-9667-3bb692c54c63"     /home           ext4        discard,noatime,rw,errors=remount-ro    0       1

I try to change the UUID to the location '/dev/mapper/840--pro--256-*',
with an update-grub after, like in the debian wiki, but it still not work.
I also try to refresh the initramfs, not working too.

I think that the broblem bppend because systemd need,
the /usr binaries to mount the lvm, and so can not do,
because the /usr is not already mounted, I am searching
for a way to get /usr mounted before systemd need it.
