[arch-announce] Changes to LVM
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Thomas Bächler 12 Feb '13

Thomas Bächler wrote: With `lvm2 2.02.98-3`, we now utilize `lvmetad` to activate LVM volumes automatically. This implies the following changes: * The `lvm2` initramfs hook now requires the `udev` hook. * The `use_lvmetad = 1` must be set in `/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`. This is the default now - if you have a `lvm.conf.pacnew` file, you **must** merge this change. * You can restrict the volumes that are activated automatically by setting the `auto_activation_volume_list` in `/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`. If in doubt, leave this option **commented out**. * If you need monitoring (needed for snapshots), run `systemctl enable lvm- monitoring.service`. * The `lvmwait` kernel command line option is no longer needed and has no effect.

Tom Gundersen wrote: As previously announced, `initscripts` are no longer receiving any testing and support has been dropped from various packages. Any users still using them should switch to `systemd`. `initscripts`, `sysvinit` and the various `rc` scripts are being removed from the repositories to avoid any confusion about their status.
