[Solved] XFS filesystem on LVM LUKS

6PM · 2017-11-08 21:31:29

Hello. I have installed Arch with LVM on LUKS

mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/myvol-home
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/myvol-root
mkswap /dev/mapper/myvol-swap
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1

fstab, hooks, grub. All right. The installation was successful.

But when I have installed in the same way xfs root partition, the system does not boot

mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/myvol-home
mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/myvol-root
mkswap /dev/mapper/myvol-swap
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1

Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/mapper/vol-root ...
ERROR: device '/dev/mapper/vol-root' not found. Skipping fsck.
:: mounting '/dev/mapper/vol-root' on real root
mount: /new_root: no filesystem type specified.
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs ]# _

I followed the installation guide and more, but I found nothing.
Thank you for ideas. Best regards.

PD: Sorry my english ._.

Post your mkinitcpio.conf

# vim:set ft=sh

MODULES=()

BINARIES=()

FILES=()

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard keymap consolefont modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck)

Please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

Add the xfs module to your conf and rebuild the initramfs.

Thank you jasonwryan for your help. The system can boot.

But then I installed mate desktop and the problem arises again. On this occasion with both filesystem xfs and ext4
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/mapper...

I reconfigured hooks, modules again,
rebuilding the initramfs, generating grub.cfg, etc and nothing.

So after a lot of reading and searching I found it.

I changed /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to "use_lvmetad = 1"
Generating initramfs one more time.

Finally it works!

I write to thank you and to help another users if they have the same problem.

Cool. Please remember to mark your thread as [Solved] by editing your first post and prepending it to the title.

That is, you restored the default value.
