I just upgraded to the latest version (2.02.98-3) of lvm2. But I'm still having the same issue: when I boot into single user mode, my lvm volumes aren't seen and so any mounts time out.
Any idea what the problem might be or a fix/workaround?
A solution would be to to add lvmetad.socket and dmeventd.socket to sysinit.target.wants instead of sockets.target.wants. In fact, this is probably the correct thing to do to make rescue.target work.
Is this a change I would need to make locally, or something that's planned to get included into the next lvm2 package release?
Well, both. First, you could test it locally. This would suffice:
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/ ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/{lvmetad.socket,dmeventd.socket} /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/
(The changes you made in /etc/ above concern your machine and expand what the package does, pacman never interferes here.)
Then, we could include it in a future package, if that indeed solves the problem.
Worked!!! Thanks much for the fix! DR
