fedup to Fedora 19 and trouble with encrypted volumes

Today I updated my Fedora 18 to Fedora 19 using fedup.

The setup itself went smooth. But the initial boot failed with some message telling me that /home could be mounted (home resides on an encrypted volume).

That didn’t sound nice … After a couple of failed un-educated guesses I found “Bug 980587 - [Upgrade from F18 to F19 via FedUp on encrypted system (luks/dm-crypt, no LVM), can’t boot normally”.]{#short_desc_nonedit_display}

That looked like my problem. But no. It didn’t solve for me.

As it turned out I had to use the new lvm.conf (which resided in lvm.conf.rpmnew after the update). Renaming it to lvm.conf and running

dracut --force

Fixed the problem - The volume was picked up by systemd and mounted correctly.

The system was now upgrade from Fedora 16 on …
