I have two physical drives. One contained OSes and the other data and /home. The second drive contains 2 LVM volume groups.
I upgraded the OS drive to SSD, copied partitions and all. After the upgrade, Ubuntu would start to boot and then drop to Emergency Mode. I discovered this was because the fstab contained a mount to the LVM on the second drive. If I remove the mount in fstab, Ubuntu boots fine. If I issue a "vgchange -ay" and enter "exit" at the Emergency Mode prompt, Ubuntu continues to load with no problem.
There are 2 symptoms I noticed since the upgrade:
1) Getting to the LVM groups requires manually entering the vgchange command every time.
2) GParted no longer shows the drive as allocated. I thought it would display the 2nd drive as having an LVM volume.
1) How do I have LVM volumes available at startup? I tried a number of things on the web. None worked.
2) Should GParted show LVM volumes?
Note: LVM does not contain boot or root. It's just a data drive. (It will host /home in the future. That's a different project.) The OS is Ubuntu 15.10.
