Description Petr Krištof 2004-04-29 11:37:12 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031114

Description of problem:
LVM2 init is done in rc.sysinit as:

# LVM2 initialization, take 2
        if [ -f /dev/mapper/control -a -x /sbin/lvm.static ]; then


It is wrong, because /dev/mapper/control is not regular file
but special control device.

This should be:

# LVM2 initialization, take 2
        if [ -e /dev/mapper/control -a -x /sbin/lvm.static ]; then



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.50-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use LVM2 on raid.

Actual Results:  Logical volumes are not initialized after boot.

Expected Results:  Logical volumes must be initialized after boot.

Additional info:

IMHO it is the primary cause of many lvm or raid related bugs filled
in bugzilla.

The way you corrected it is better. BUT.
This fragment of code is in two different places in rc.sysinit script.
So I suggest to fix the another place too. :-)
