Bug#811033: lvm2: LVM RAID1 file systems cannot be mounted at boot

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.138-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I recently put one of my file systems on LVM RAID1 while running a 4.1
kernel.  That works fine until you reboot.  At boot time the file system
cannot be mounted.  This appears to be due to a kernel bug (see #804629)
that nobody seems willing or able to fix.

Please document the fact that LVM RAID1 is broken so people don't waste
time and effort trying to use it.

BTW, I have been able to mount LVM RAID1 file systems at boot time with
a 4.0 kernel (the one listed below) but all kernels after that were no
good.
