Lost my LVM using Preupgrade from F16 to F17
Hi,
I did yesterday a preupgrade, which did not went to good. I did get no Kernel for F17, the cleanup broke after the installation and so on.
So, i got rebooted into F16 doing a package-cleanup --cleandupes, which cleaned first my system. Afterwards, i erased the Fedora-Release-Info for F16 and i got tons of updates including the new kernel.
When rebooting then (strange, it seems still to use the old Grub from F16, could this be an issue?) i drop into a rescue-shell from dracut, telling me, that F17 does not find my F17 LVM-Partitions.
Could it be, that they just are not actived? I found no real help in bugzilla. Any help is very very appreciated
TIA
Roger

"Afterwards, i erased the Fedora-Release-Info for F16 and i got tons of updates"
Um...what do you mean by this? Do you actually know what preupgrade is and how to use it?

Re: Lost my LVM using Preupgrade from F16 to F17
Hi Adam,
I think so. At the end, there should be a cleanup from the old packages. Unfortunately, my box broke there, so i just restarted the upgrade. Unfortunately, the cleanup hasnt been done, so i had tons of dupes from fedora 16, which i had to wipe. Having the fedora-release-notes for f16 and f17 was - in my thought - the reason, why yum tried to update all the packages (f16 and f17). In fact, this time preupgrade left my system in a mess...
I just continued googling btw. and found an existing bug, where lvm has not been activated. so i "lvm vgchange -ay" on each boot, then it works.
IMHO, it cant be, that i have to do this on each boot. Also, there are a few error-messages about udevd missing some rules.
Roger
EDIT: the yum update has been done after the preupgrade

Fixed!
lvm vgscan showed it up correctly, lvm vgchange -ay activated correctly - until next reboot. Seems to be an issue with my broken installation
had to 'dracut --force --add convertfs' in shell, then it worked.
