Description

I've experienced the same problem, although for me it was because my volume group names contain hyphens (/dev/vg-main). I get the same traceback trying to open /dev/mapper/vg-main-root. From the shell I can see that /dev/mapper/vg--main-root exists. Unfortunately, solving this problem is rather complicated as you explained. It's not just a simple matter of changing the name of the logical volume - the bootloader configs need to be updated, the fstab needs changing, and so forth. What's unfortunate is that the dash gained some special significance, making moving to the newer version more difficult. *** Bug 489428 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
