This is weird. I think lvm2 is supposed to wait for udev to finish creating all links before returning. Inserting a 'sleep 1' or '/sbin/udevadm settle' in rc.sysinit after the vgchange call should fix this, but it shouldn't be necessary.
Inserting 'sleep 1' after 'activate_vgs' (new initscripts) does indeed save the day. I don't know how to figure out why in my case lvm2 doesn't wait for udev... Any suggestions for further testing welcome.
I thought so. (I guess this issue stays the same in the new initscripts.)
I suppose this must be a bug in the device-mapper - the udev integration is supposed to wait for symlink creation before returning.
Jakob, Jan, answer me this: 1) Do you have udisks installed? 2) Does the problem persist if you uninstall udisks (-Rd please, for the sake of testing)? 3) Does the problem persist if you have udisks installed and comment line 57 in /lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules: #KERNEL=="dm-*", IMPORT{program}="udisks-dm-export %M %m"
