Hello, Today, I migrated a server from 9.3 to 9.5 using dnf update. The update process run fine. Once it finished I just reboot and the server is stuck in loading “home”. The process times out and enters administration mode. There is no exit to that loop and I need to select 9.3 in grub in order t…

Today I fixed the issue using the information in the previous post as a base. I’d to read the documentation about lvmdevices and do some more things to delete and add devices again but I finally success in fixing the issue and the 9.5 version starts without issues now. But I ignore the root of the …

You could look at logs from a previous bad boot, e.g. journalctl -b -2 this means show logs from “two boots ago”. You need to find the one where you tried to boot 9.5, also try cat /etc/fstab

Hi Gerry, Thanks for jumping in! Unfortunately journalctl -b -2 says [root@rsapi ~]# journalctl -b -2 Specifying boot ID or boot offset has no effect, no persistent journal was found. [root@rsapi ~]# So I’m enabling persistent storage for the systemd journal log and will reboot the system in a c…

Ah yes, I forgot to say you need journal persistence.

Sorry for the delay. I’ve just enabled persistent journal. Here is the information requested: Console image [IMG_1926 en tamaño grande] Complete 9.5 boot with failure (I’d to cut some parts as there are limits to the messages) Jan 24 10:46:30 rsapi kernel: Linux version 5.14.0-503.22.1.el9_5.x…

I don’t know how to obtain the surrounding command from systemd. I’ll try to investigate further [IMG_1928 en tamaño grande]

This part of the boot is interesting. lvm[988]: /dev/nvme0n1p3 excluded: device is not in devices file. At the bottom of the screen capture there is the content of the /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices file Hope this information is useful to solve the problem [Captura_de_pantalla_24_1_25__12_21]

Here is the comparison of the boot process between version 9.3 (that still works) and version 9.5 that doesn’t. For some reason, it looks like when booting from 9.5 lvm is ignoring the partition where /home is stored, but 9.3 works ok. Hope someone can give me more light. In the meantime I’ll spen…
