Boot Error with LVM: No such file or directory

  • 772

I have installed Xubuntu 20.04 encrypted on an SSD and get the following error on boot time:

/tmp/mountroot-fail-hooks.d//scripts/init-premount/lvm2: No such file or directory

The boot time is pretty slow, so I think that could be one of the reasons.

Is the reason for the error the double slash after hooks.d?

init grub2 boot mount lvm

  1. In my case, that was due to a misconfiguration into /etc/fstab I previously installed Ubuntu with an encrypted HDD (LVM2) that i decided to remove (I removed the encryption and the initial partitions, not the HDD).

    I had exactly the same problem (slow boot and same message). I just removed entries from /etc/fstab about my previous partitions (that was also using mapper). And that rules.

    Boot is as quick as intended now. And I modified /etc/fstab to consider my new "normal" partitions.

    I bet your message and the slowness is due to a misconfiguration into /etc/fstab trying to load wrong partition.

    Hope that helped.
