18.04 boot messages mdadm lvmeatd

[rsteinmetz70112]

I have installed my firs 18.04 server and am working to get it configured.

During boot I get 2 sucessive message with delays. Neither prevent the system booting but both indicate somethig is not quite right

I get a message something like


md1 has detected a capacity change from 0 to ...

followed by a delay

then a message

Warning cannot contact lvmetd not contacted falling back
followed by another delay.

I suspect that the init images are not exactly correct and the problem wil be resolved at the nex kerenl update. I'm not too concerned sine it does boot correctly., but I was wondering if there is something else I can to address these and speed up booting.

It's possible the raid devices have gotten renamed.
You could just go with the new names and edit /etc/fstab and your boot loader to match.

An option here would be to disable lvmetad from /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.
To do this edit the file and set use_lvmetad = 0
