Ubuntu looks for a removed volume group during boot












0














I cloned my Ubuntu Server to a virtual machine on my laptop to do some tests. I adapted /etc/fstab and network configuration but I am unable to get rid of LVM. While the original server uses LVM, the clone has a single partition setup:



$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 64G 0 disk
└─sda1 8:1 0 64G 0 part /
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom


However, this is still showing during boot:



Volume group not found; Cannot process volume group



(I am sorry to post a screenshot of text. Is there any file where I can find these boot messages? I cannot find them in /var/log and the output of dmesg.)



It’s probably just a warning because the boot continues successfully but I want to get rid of the LVM traces. How can I achieve this?



The commands pvs, vgs, lvs showed nothing and
I even ran sudo apt remove lvm2 without problems but the boot messages are still there.
I also removed lvm from GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES in /etc/default/grub and ran sudo update-grub.
I have only found traces of the server’s LVM in /var/log (old records from the original server) and the archive and backup subfolders of /etc/lvm.



This is my /etc/fstab. The commented items are related to the original server.



# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
UUID=cbd35c50-81be-4e7f-a412-d1f4bed90c00 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installation
#UUID=fb5493ef-7c3b-4009-9765-47969fb83b68 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
#/dev/mapper/vp11--testsrv--ubuntu--vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/mapper/vp11--testsrv--ubuntu--vg-vboxes /home/virtbox/VirtualBox40VMs ext3 defaults 0 2

          It turns out that the traces of LVM were stored in initramfs. I found the question Can't find LVM root dropped back to initramfs and ran the mentioned command:



          sudo update-initramfs -u -k all


          Since that, the messages regarding LVM have no more been appearing during boot.
