PATCH: Fix / on lvm

Hi,

Currently / on lvm is not working because the udev rules test for KERNEL="dm-*" which of course will not be true for PV's, so PV's are not recognized and thus lvm does not work.

The attached patch fixes this.

Regards,

Hans

Could you please describe in detail the type of setup needed to reproduce this failure? I have / on lvm here and dracut is working just fine.

Hi,

Basically the default anaconda partitioning setup so /boot /dev/sda1 (sata disk) and / on an lv whose vg contains one (large) pv which is /dev/sda2

But this isn't all that interesting, read the rules, they are there to
do: "lvm vgscan; lvm vgchange -ay" when a new PV gets added to the system, yet they contain the line:

KERNEL!="dm-*", GOTO="lvm_end"

Before doing this, meaning that a PV on a regular scsi disk (instead of a PV on top of device mapper) will not cause the
"lvm vgscan; lvm vgchange -ay" to get executed and thus my / to not be found.

Maybe you are using a dmraid setup ? That would explain why these rules are working for you.

Regards,

Hans
