[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#349054: /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh: checkroot.sh hangs at /sbin/findfs "LABEL=root"

[Norbert Kiesel]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-6
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh

Hi,

I noticed this since about 1 month now (perhaps even longer, not sure):
during boot, checkroot.sh hangs for me.  I can proceed booting by
hitting Ctrl-C.  However, this leaves / mounted ro and causes some later
startup scripts to bark (which might be another problem in itself).

I found that spot by adding "set -x" into checkroot.sh.

Running '/sbin/findfs "LABEL=root"' after booting works fine (and returns
the correct /dev/vg0/root, so I'd assume it has to do something with
lvm2/dm not being initialized yet at this point.

Not sure what info you need, so I jsust append what might be a good
starting point.  I'll be happy to provide more info if needed.
