Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Same here and only rebooted just now because my system, running awesomewm, locked up completely, could do nothing but reboot.

But my question to add here is:  Since pressing CTRL-D and logging in as usual seems to (so far) work ok, >is it safe< to leave as is and wait for the fix, or am I risking something getting worse?  Must I (also learn how to) downgrade lvm2?

My system also locked up completely just now (running GNOME) and I got the DEPEND errors again after rebooting.

This seems to be intermittent and I don't know why. I posted about it here before realising this issue existed: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=238724

I also don't know if the crashing is a related thing. Maybe just a coincidence that we both had crashes.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Same issue here which started today after lvm2's update.
As mentioned earlier whenever you can, adding the noauto,x-systemd.automount options in the fstab file avoids the issue.
This usually speeds up the boot process and can be considered a permanent solution if it works for you.
This will fsck and mount the partition only when it is first accessed, and the kernel will buffer all file access to it until it is ready.
See wiki

This works for me! Thanks

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Add yet another instance of this issue. I initially logged into a maintenance session but then just rebooted and it was fine after that. Odd.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Yep this has happened to me as well on all three of my Arch computers since the latest updates - work PC, home PC, and media server PC. All running SSDs for root partition with at least one more drive mounted for /home and additional drives (5 extra drives on the media server). Interestingly I am not using LVM on any of them (not sure if there is a relation there).

Anyway, in all cases every computer would successfully boot intermittently. CTRL+D let me continue to boot successfully on each one as well.

Not going to spam with journal logs here as the bug tracker is the more appropriate place, just chiming in that CTRL+D works as a temp workaround.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

The following assumes the base-devel group is installed and I recommend enabling Makepkg#Parallel_compilation to reduce build times

$ git clone git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git --single-branch --branch "packages/lvm2"
$ cp -r packages/trunk lvm2
$ rm -rf packages
$ cd lvm2
# replace PKGBUILD with the one in this post
$ makepkg -rsi #this is to confirm lvm2 2.02.179 as built on your system has the issue

$ cd lvm2/src/lvm2
$ git checkout v2_02_177
$ cd ../..
$ makepkg -ersi #this is to confirm lvm2 2.02.177 as built on your system does not have the issue

$ cd lvm2/src/lvm2
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good v2_02_177
$ git bisect bad v2_02_179
$ cd ../..
$ makepkg -ersif

$ cd lvm2/src/lvm2
$ git bisect $result #substitute good or bad here
$ cd ../..
$ makepkg -ersif #repeat these four lines and test the generated package until git has found the bad commit

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

I'll test at weekend when I have time, but on the laptop:

x-systemd.device-timeout=1

in fstab allows the NFS drives to boot. However, I don't have an fstab entry for / on the laptop.

On my main machine, I have no x-systemd entries in fstab, but I explictely have fstab entries for / and /boot (and other local drives).

Don't want to revert to a ctrl-D boot until I have time to play, so for now, lvm2 is downgraded.

EDIT: I should add, the laptop has had no problems pre or post update. The main rig is where the problems are.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Just out of curiosity, if anyone is experiencing this and NOT using lvm like me, have you tried compiling libblockdev without the lvm2 dependency (https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … 3ba08f1650)?  I am temped to try.  Might drop the xfsprogs and mdadm too.  Thoughts from those more knowledgeable that I are welcomed.  Bad idea?

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

I am wondering if this is the same bug as in the upstream lvm2 report which has the cause as systemd unmounting a device.
The logs for this bug do not seem to indicate systemd doing the same but that may well just be my misunderstanding.
Edit:
@graysky I would suggest masking lvm2-monitor.service first see if that works.

I don't use lvm2. I just have it on my system from base pacman group.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

@pryka - it's a dep of libblockdev... I'm asking if compiling libblockdev without it like the url I referenced fixes the issue for you.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Got exactly same error after last update today. But actually all the filesystems getting mounted at the time when emergency shell starts.
But seems that something with systemd dependency check or something with timings, because I have 6 HDDs installed and each time some of filesystems on them (XFS, ext4, ntfs ) hitting this error (excepting device with root filesystem on on lvm2) and emergency shell starts on each boot.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

@graysky what on your system is using libblockdev in early boot eg at local-fs.target or earlier in boot?
Edit:
@sincomil yes it looks like lvm2-monitor.service which is started before local-fs.target interacts somehow with the systemd finding device unit dependencies to run fsck on local filesystems.
Any failure for local-fs.target triggers the Emergency shell while Ctrl+D just continues the boot unclear if the fsck is rerun.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Just out of curiosity, if anyone is experiencing this and NOT using lvm like me, have you tried compiling libblockdev without the lvm2 dependency (https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … 3ba08f1650)?  I am temped to try.  Might drop the xfsprogs and mdadm too.  Thoughts from those more knowledgeable that I are welcomed.  Bad idea?

What is the purpose? Allowing you to uninstall lvm2 so it's not there to sneakily run on its own at boot? Just mask the systemd units...

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

I have Downgraded lvm2 with

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lvm2-2.02.177-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

that currently solved my problem.

To prevent some useless things randomly break my system when I have to catch some deadline.

But I don't like hacking official packages. So I traced it up, lvm2 <- libblockdev <- udisks2 <- gvfs (for automount and trash). Finally, I replaced gvfs with udevil. (I don't use trash anyway)

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

@hefenigma did you try masking lvm2-monitor.service?

No, lvm2 doesn't even exist on my system now.  ^_^

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

That does not help confirm if the issue on your system was lvm2-monitor.service conflicting with the systemd early boot.

I'm just going to wait this one out since it mounts fine afterwards when I proceed to logging in.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

Same issue here on Arch Linux ARM running on two Raspberry Pi 2.

Faulty LVM version is lvm2-2.02.179-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
Downgrading to lvm2-2.02.177-5-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz fixes the issue ...

Cheers, Stefan

Just noticed the issue and can confirm that masking lvm2-monitor fixes it, thanks.

From https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issu … -404550659 onward yes but the discussion before that comment is about systemd manually unmounting a mount point which it is not clear is the cause here.
Edit:
@kakonema thank you for the confirmation.

Re: Dependency failed for File System Check

I have the same problem after update and I don't even use LVM
Looking into journalctl I see that after devices are configured LVM2-monitor starts and it apparently messes up with devices.
