Scoundrels Attack Gunter Grass Truths by Stephen Lendman Touching the most sensitive nerves has risks. Nearly always hostile responses follow. Criticizing Israel is the third rail of US politics. It's also largely off limits in scoundrel media managed news, op-eds, and editorials. Gunter Grass took the risks. He acted forthrightly. His new poem "What Must Be Said" explained that he'll no longer be silent on what's long been known but virtually never discussed publicly. Israel's nuclear armed and dangerous. A previous article discussed it. Portions are repeated below to explain what's vital to know. In his 1991 book, "The Samson Option: Israel's Nuclear Arsenal and America Foreign Policy," Seymour Hersh discussed its strategy to launch a massive nuclear counterattack if it felt its existence threatened. In his 1997 book, "Open Secrets: Israeli Nuclear and Foreign Policies," Israel Shahak said that, helped by the Israeli Lobby (and Christian Zionists), "Israel (is) clearly prepar(ing) itself to seek overtly a hegemony over the entire Middle East (with no) hesitati(on) to use for the purpose all means available, including nuclear ones." According to Hebrew University's Professor of Military History Martin Van Creveld, "We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you (it) will happen before Israel goes under." Israel hypocritically maintains double standard duplicity. It wants other regional states denied what it reserves the right to have and use preemptively. In 1948, David Ben-Gurion began Israeli efforts to develop nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons technology. Ernst David Bergmann, became the father of Israel's bomb. He ran the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission.(IAEC). In his farewell address, Ben-Gurion told the Israeli Armaments Development Authority (RAFAEL): "I am confident, based not only on what I heard today, that our science can provide us with the weapons that are needed to deter our enemies from waging war against us." He and Shimon Peres became Israel's leading figures for nuclear and CBW programs. They wanted technology developed to use these and other weapons preemptively against perceived or manufactured threats. Since 1973, Israel had none. Its belligerence belies it. It roguishly acts as a regional menace. With a powerful nuclear arsenal and sophisticated delivery systems, its threat extends globally. In 1952, the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) was established. In 1964, the Dimona Nuclear Research Center/reactor was secretly completed near Bersheeba in the Negev as a heavy water moderated, natural uranium reactor/plutonium reprocessing plant to make nuclear weapons. After the 1967 Six Day War, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan ordered full-scale production. It averaged 4 - 12 bombs per year. US presidents since Lyndon Johnson supported the program. By the early 1970s, Israel had advanced nuclear technology, world class scientists, and several dozen bombs ready to launch. Today it has hundreds and delivery systems able to hit distant targets accurately. Development was possible through elaborate deception and America's active complicity. US universities trained Israeli scientists. They had access to domestic weapons labs. Since the early 1970s, advanced technology transfers were made. They included supercomputers able to design sophisticated nuclear weapons and delivery systems. Mordechai Vanunu's mid-1980s documented revelations provided proof. A longtime nuclear technician, he smuggled out dozens of confirming photos and scientific documents. On October 5, 1986, the London Times said: "THE SECRETS of a subterranean factory engaged in the manufacture of Israeli nuclear weapons have been uncovered by the Sunday Times Insight team." "Hidden beneath the Negev desert, the factory has been producing nuclear atomic warheads for the last 20 years. Now it has almost certainly begun manufacturing thermo-nuclear weapons." Their yields can destroy entire cities. Vanunu was named the source. Nuclear experts examined his documents. They called them genuine, and concluded that Israel's sophisticated technology enabled it "to build up a formidable nuclear arsenal." His revelations cost him dearly. On October 12, 1986, Mossad agents lured him to Rome. They beat, drugged, and kidnapped him. In 1986/87, he was secretly tried and sentenced to 18 years incarceration for espionage and treason. In America and Israel, whisleblowers take great risks. Vanunu's still harassed, mistreated, forbidden from talking with journalists, and can't leave the country. On July 2, 2007, he again was imprisoned for six months for speaking to foreign journalists. Israel's District Court later reduced it to three "in light of (his) ailing health and the absence of claims that his actions put the country's security in jeopardy." In January 2008, he was sentenced to six months community service. Daniel Ellsberg called him "the preeminent hero of the nuclear era." In July 2007, Amnesty International (AI) named him "a prisoner of conscience." Vanunu says "I am neither a traitor nor a spy. I only wanted the world to know what was happening." They had every right to know and still do. On December 28, 2009, he was again arrested following an alleged meeting with his girlfriend, a Norwegian national. House arrest followed. Years after his initial imprisonment, he's still effectively in one. In May 2010, he began serving another three-month prison term, reportedly in isolation. He's vulnerable to rearrest anytime for any reason or none at all. That's how police states operate. Israel's one of the worst. So is America. Both threaten humanity. Israel is one of three known nuclear outlaws. Besides India and Pakistan, it never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) nor allows inspections. North Korea is a declared but unverified nuclear power. Since the 1970s, Israel's official position is that it chose "an option to produce electricity using nuclear reactors. (This) requires promoting nuclear knowledge and research, preparing sites suitable for building nuclear power plants," and weighing the economic benefits. Independent experts know Dimona has no civilian nuclear program. Technology development is entirely weapons-related. They include boosted fission ones and small neutron bombs. They're designed to maximize gamma radiation while minimizing blast effects and long-term radiation. They're designed to kill while leaving structures intact. Israel also has long range ballistic missiles; sophisticated aircraft, surface ships, and submarines able to launch nuclear strikes; cruise missiles, artillery shells, and land mines with the same capability; greater ability than needed for defensive deterrence; and propensity to strike first rather than first assess whether or not serious threats exist. Israel faces none. In contrast, it imperils the region and beyond. Unjustifiable Criticisms "What Must Be Said" explains the risks. Grass courageously did what few others dare. He did it his way. His poem won't be remembered for its style or grace. It will for his important message. He discussed an open secret. He kicked open a hornet's nest doing it. Unjustifiable invectives assail him. That's the price paid for explaining important truths. He won't back off. Neither should we. The issue's on the table. Discussing and spreading it's essential. Grass can handle criticism. He knew the risks and took them. He's assailed now from all sides. Netanyahu, an unindicted war criminal, attacked him, saying: "His declarations are ignorant and shameful and every honest person in this world must condemn them." His motives are anti-Semitic, he claimed. "For six decades he hid his past as a member in the Waffen SS, so it is no surprise that he defines the only Jewish state as the greatest threat to world peace and opposes it equipping itself with means of self defense." On the one hand, Netanyahu didn't deny Grass' accusations. On the other, he omitted saying he himself revealed his SS past. He was 16, young and foolish at a time his nation was being destroyed. Maturity transformed him. He became Germany's moral voice and conscience. He sides with history's forgotten victims. He calls his native country psychologically damaged. It's ugly past won't be forgotten, nor should it. Netanyahu called comparing Israel with Iran shameful, saying: "In Iran there is a regime that denies the Holocaust and calls for the destruction of Israel." It does neither and Netanyahu knows it. Nonetheless, his bluster added: "It is Iran, not Israel, which poses a threat to world peace. It is Iran, not Israel, which threatens to destroy other countries. It is Iran, not Israel, which supports terror organizations that fire missiles on innocent civilians. It is Iran, not Israel, which supports the massacre that the Syrian regime is carrying out on its civilians. It is Iran, not Israel, which stones women, hangs gay people, and ruthlessly suppresses the tens of millions of citizens in its country." Fact check Israel threatens world peace. Iran threatens no one. Israel reigns terror regionally and beyond. Iran peacefully coexists with neighbors. Israel commits crimes of war and against humanity. Iran hasn't attacked another country in over two centuries. Israel marginalizes, discriminates against, and persecutes non-Jews. Iran grants non-Muslims equal rights. Israel is a nuclear menace. Iran's program is entirely peaceful. Even Mossad, US intelligence, and IAEA inspectors agree. Israel won't let anyone examine its nuclear facilities for good reason. It's got plenty to hide. It's secret long ago became open. Grass discussed what Vanunu exposed decades earlier. The difference is Israel can't imprison him or destroy his distinction as Germany's most celebrated author and 1999 Literature Nobel laureate. Nonetheless, Haaretz writer Anshel Pfeffer headlined, "The moral blindness of Gunter Grass," saying: His polemic "baseless(ly alleges) that Israel is threatening to annihilate the entire Iranian people." "(T)here is something so obviously wrong about him saying this, something so morally blind that all arguments are superfluous." Fact check Israel, not Grass, threatens war on Iran. If nuclear weapons are used, millions of lives are risked. Saying so is important, not baseless. He deserves praise, not condemnation. Pfeffer also assailed his SS past. Like Netanyahu and others, hitting below the belt substitutes for confronting hard facts honestly and accepting what needs to be said. Not Netanyahu. Not Pfeffer. Not many other truth- ducking scoundrels. That's moral blindness and cowardice. Pfeffer also attacked Grass for lacking "basic human decency." Unlike himself and other critics, Grass acted honorably and courageously. He stuck his neck out because it's important. The only justifiable criticism is he should have done it much earlier. But it's never too late to do the right thing. Der Spiegel's literary editor Sebastian Hammelehle headlined, "Gunter Grass's Lyrical First Strike," saying: Grass "implie(d) an unpleasant flippancy: the flippancy of breaking taboos. (He's) such a vain man that, when asked to write for the German weekly Die Zeit on the occasion of prominent German writer Heinrich Boll's death, he wrote almost exclusively about himself." "Now he has packed his political opinions into a poem that is almost as simple. What pathos! It might have been better if he hadn't begun his verses with the word 'I' at the beginning of each sentence, and instead debated the situation in Israel more thoroughly." "Then he very quickly would have gotten an idea about how the people of Israel must feel in psychological terms, being surrounded by enemies." "Never in the history of postwar Germany has an intellectual as prominent as Grass presented such hollow clichés about Israel in such a vain manner." "It is in no way certain that the nuclear attack implied in the poem with which Israel 'could annihilate the Iranian people' will even happen in the foreseeable future. But one thing is certain: The lyrical first strike has already been launched -- from German soil." Like other morally compromised critics, Hammelehle substituted invectives for well deserved praise, for doing what needs to be done, especially from someone of his distinction. There ought to be a Nobel award for that. The New York Times also betrayed its readers. It's standard NYT policy. Instead of highlighting Grass' distinguished credentials and courage for doing the right thing, it mostly focused on critics and suggestions of anti-Semitism. So did other major broadsheets, including the London Guardian. It quoted Henryk Border calling Grass "the prototype of the educated antisemite." He added that he's "completely nuts." It also highlighted some of Netanyahu's above quoted comments. When facts are too important to ignore and someone courageously addresses them, critics and media scoundrels attack the messenger. Invectives substitute for truth, full disclosure, and for Grass, justifiable praise. Even Gideon Levy fell short in his commentary headlined, "Israelis can be angry with Gunter Grass, but they must listen to him," saying: His poem was "harsh, and in some parts infuriating. (He) indeed went a few steps to far (and too mendaciously) - Israel will not destroy the Iranian people - and for that he will be punished, in his own country and in Israel." Fact check Levy may not fully realize the destructive power of nuclear weapons, including how radiation kills. If Israel and/or America targets Iran's underground nuclear facilities with these type weapons, millions of lives will be risked. With or without nuclear weapons, if shock and awe tactics attack military and other targets, all bets are off. Perhaps he's not aware of the Hersh and Israel Shahak books discussed above. He likely doesn't know or forgot John McCain once wanting to "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran." He hasn't changed his mind nor have other congressional war hawks. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's one of the worst. As a 2008 presidential aspirant, she threatened war on Iran, saying: "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them." "Obliterate" suggests killing millions. Downplaying the risk is indefensible. Levy might reconsider his comments in a future op-ed. At the same time, he called Grass criticism "exaggerat(ed)." He dismissed anti-Semitism suggestions. He said his Nazi past doesn't "warrant shutting him up" now, "and his opinion is far from vacuous." "It can and should be said that Israel's policy is endangering world peace. His position against Israeli nuclear power is also legitimate. He can also oppose supplying submarines" as launching vehicles. Grass isn't alone, he said. Indeed not, but anyone daring to criticize Israel publicly draws the usual type responses. "(W)e must listen to these great people. They are not anti-Semites. They are expressing the opinion of many people. Instead of accusing them we should consider what we did that led them to express it." Levy left unsaid the importance of confronting it beyond op-eds and the court of public opinion. Laws are made to be obeyed. UN member states are obligated to punish violators. America and Israel top the list. Both threaten world peace. If that's not just cause to confront them, what is? Writers and others need to say so.

Mom ridind son's lap
In some circles this is a very acceptable practice, especially mine. Loved it. Never fucked my mom but did fuck my mom-in-law in a motel room in Texas once. Quite a pleasurable event for us both. She is 18 years older than me but one hot lady with 38C cups and a very stiff clit.
Loved the heat of this story even though it had a little levity in it.by Anonymous11/01/12
hot time with mom:
My dad worked out of state,for most of his working life...Mom and I were ,alone most of the month...Dad would come home one week end,a month..The rest of the time,it was the two of us alone..I was thirteen, when I walked in on mom,just she got out of the shower..She was totally nude,when I opened the door..I was embarrassed,when I saw her,I closed the door,walking away with the hardest dick I ever had..When she came back into the den,she explained,that I should not worry about seeing her nude,that that was part of life,and my errection,was part of becoming a young man..We were always very close,being alone most of the time...We talked,she was telling me how much she missed dad,and wished he was home more often..The weather turned stormy,before we went to bed...Mom was scared of storms,and ask If I would sleep,in bed with her...I was laying there,thinking of her next to me,My dick became very hard...The weather became worse,and she ask me to hold her close...I knew she could feel my hard dick against her ass. She moved back against,me getting closer..I was so fucking hard,that my dick was jumping,and she could feel it..After a few minutes she turned to face me,and explained,not to worry,that this was normal for a young man.Then she reached inside my shorts,taking my hard` dick,into her hand...I thought I was going to cum right then...She got out of bed,revoved her gown,and panties..Standing in the nude,I could see her.Then pulling the sheet off my body,I was ask to roll onto my back.She removed my shorts,and placed her knees,on either side of me,she took my dick,holding it as she slid down on me..I started shooting cum inside her cunt..She never moved,staying still as I shot up into her...After a few minutes,my dick was hard again...Mom started riding me,slow at first,then getting faster...I could hear her moaning,telling me to fuck her deep,as she was riding my hard dick...She had placed my hands on her big tits,I was rubbing her nipples with my thumbs..When she started cumming,hre cunt walls was milking my hard dick,as I shot another load deep in her... That was the night,mom and I became lovers...After that night,we always went to sleep in the same bed,every night,except,on the weekends dad came home.. Mom explained that I was more endowed,than dad and was a better lover....Thanks mom,for the sex lessions...by Anonymous11/05/12
always had a fantasy fucking my young mom.
although your story is hot, very hot, I can only dream about what could have been with my mom. She had me when she was fifteen, raped by a married man who live next door. So mom was always young growing up. When I was in puberty mom was only thirty years old and to me she was a goddess. I tried everything in the book I guess to try and fuck her but never succeeded. The closest was at a New years party. She got pretty wasted and I practically had to put her to bed, take her clothes off and tuck her in. I saw her naked and I even crawled in bed with her. But I chickened out. Mom probably would not have known if I even fucked her but I just couldn't do it, I mean I could, but the guilt was too strong. I did put my finger in her pussy though, which was the high light of that night at fifteen.by sterlinger11/12/12by LAROC11/14/12

Exclusive preview of my sequel to retired04's incest classic: "Sitting on My Son's Lap Pt. II"
"Well dear, no hot dogs. Looks like it's one of those breakfast-all-day diners…that OK with you guys?" Dad asked as he pulled the car into the dusty, roadside truck stop.
"That's fine honey, breakfast is good… any time of day… right, Mike?" Mom said, faking a yawn and smiling as she looked up at me, trying to hide the risky, panting lilt in her voice.
She was still sitting on my lap, grinding her plump, meaty ass on my crotch while I had my hands on her hips, hitching her skirt a little as I thrust back at her.
"Ugh…yeah, mom…" I grunted. I hoped Dad understood that as an affirmative to her question and not the moan of pleasure it really was.
Her thin, summer dress and panties and my shorts and boxers were the only barriers right now as we continued our dry humping, and I was enjoying the ride for as long as I could before we had to stop soon.
Ten miles ago, it was a whole different story I chuckled to myself.
The day had started innocently enough.
It was a hot, late August morning (nearing noon) when Dad, Mom and I finally finished filling our car to the brim with all my stuff that I'd be taking to college, five hours away. I thought we had everything packed, then realized last minute my big, flat screen TV had been left out and insisted we make room for it. Little did I know that my immature insistence on taking that hunk of electronics would be my ticket to a fun, all-day ride with my sexy, mature Mom.
She had had me (her only child) when she was only 19 and now eighteen years later, she was still in the prime of her life and looked it. Mom was petite; maybe just over 5 feet tall, with wavy, shoulder-length, dark brown hair and big, brown eyes that had naturally long lashes. She looks a lot like that actress Mary-Louise Parker from the show "Weeds", but about ten years younger and in my opinion much prettier and with a cuter face. Of course, a few hours ago I wasn't thinking about any of this as we already were starting off late for our trip and I was a little ticked off at Mom for delaying our departure by making us all shower again before leaving. I didn't see any point in it and just wanted to get going, but it was a hot day and we were all sweaty from hauling and packing all my stuff.
Finally, we were ready to go and it was then the full realization hit me that with my big 42" TV taking up most of the middle of the front seat, there was really hardly any room for Mom and me to fit. Dad and I hopped in first. He took a look at me and asked if Mom and I were going to be alright, barely able to see over the TV (it was turned sideways with the screen facing my side of the car). Mom squeezed in and plopped on my lap and said she was fine, mentioning she was more worried if Dad could even be able to drive.
We hit the road at last and I gazed absentmindedly in the side-view mirror, bidding farewell as we drove along: to my house, my neighborhood and all the familiar places I had know the past 18 years. Mom hardly weighed anything at all, and it was only when we hit the highway maybe twenty minutes later that I noticed here she was, sitting on my crotch, her smooth bare legs touching mine. My last thoughts just before this had been about my ex-girlfriend, with whom I had just broken up a week ago (she was going to a different college and claimed a long-distance relationship wouldn't work and we should just part amicably). The mixed feelings of maybe never seeing her again and the frustration of not having had any pussy the last week were on my mind when I suddenly realized here was my Mom-- her warm, sexy butt pressed firmly on my cock and pent-up balls, with only a few layers of fabric in between. To my horror, my repressed lust was getting the better of me and I was getting a boner! Mom surely would have to have now felt the sprouting log of my erection as it responded to the unintended female stimulation her ass had caused. She had switched the radio on and I tried to focus on the music to take my mind off the awkward situation, but it wasn't working.
I got a little light-headed and, having nothing else to steady myself with, inadvertently brushed against Mom's bare thighs with my hands. Mom began squirming a little and it was then that I noticed her dress and skirt had ridden up. She made some small-talk with me, asking if I felt OK, but I could sense from her steadily more rhythmic writhing atop me that Mom was beginning to enjoy this. She grasped my hands and placed them back on her thighs. Her sly grin and the glazed look in her eyes as she fluttered her lashes up at me (her lustful, silent message for me to go on?) was all the implicit permission I needed, and before long we were both giving in to nature's urges and there was no sham between us. We were dry humping!

Reminds me of my Mom
My Mom was a horny chick. Tall with awesome legs. She worked late evening hours and always came home half cocked. Many times she'd come in and sat on my lap as I was doing home work for college. Those were the days when Mini's were the trend. A number of times I'd get a hardon. After a few times she did notice my stiffy. She usually wore pantyhose, but I noticed she had bought some stockings on our last trip to the store. Needless to say a week or so later one night the usual routine came about of her sitting on my lap. She had bent over to pick something up and I saw her stocking tops and buns without panties on. She came over and sat on my lap. My dick had already gotten hard and she just reached to open my housecoat to expose my cock and sat on it. She was so darn wet and hot, rode me like a stallion and came.
From then on at least once a week she come and fuck me. This lasted for a while until I moved away. Now she comes to visit once in a while when the wife is not around and we have some fun.by greenhawk4607/20/13by Anonymous07/23/13
Loved the innuendo but there's no way the husband couldn't think something was weird. Perhaps an excerpt from within the husband's musing mind as he blithely rationalises away his fears and settles on something close, such as an accidental touch of a 'private' area, to help the believability?

"Sitting On My Son's Lap Pt. 01:" - Unnamed Mom and Michael S Lacey - (Mother and Son)
Just as I finished reading this version of "Sitting On My Son's Lap:" I discovered that writer, with many of my incest love genre stories, **Oedipus_Sex**--a writer whose biography indicates has many carnal incest story favorites on Literotica very identical to mine (fantasies)--and has written a Pt. 02 (continuation) of this story, where Michael, his father Stephen and Unnamed mother continue their five-hour road trip to deliver their son at his apartment near his college!! There is no doubt in my mind the Pt. 02 continuation will have results that feed and fulfill my fervent fantasies of female and male incest stories to blissful perfection!!
Of course this story (Pt. 01) is an excellent entry and opening introduction of MIchael and his mother's consummated first copulation and incestual union!! Both Mike and his mother have the perfect libido, feelings and meshing of their minds, bodies, urges and knowledge their lover's relationship will most assuredly continue with urgency, compassion and post-haste speed!! This story theme and plot of Michael, his Unnamed mother and his father Stephen--the son and mother of family Lacey--is forming a foundation that will provide lots of writing material to make this mother and son, as lover's and paramours and their ventures of exploding love as eternal lovers, into a multi-part series!!by dixiedogg08/21/13by Anonymous09/06/13by writingontheedge11/06/13by Anonymous11/10/13by prettytamilboy11/13/13by wife4blk11/13/13by madurak12/10/13

I saw something about fd0 when I first ran lvscan after a boot, but it didn't appear again that boot and I haven't tried to reproduce. I also had some errors related to my snapshots during boot:
Feb 13 10:53:18 caddywhompus kernel: device-mapper: table: 254:4: snapshot: Snapshot cow pairing for exception table handover failed Feb 13 10:53:18 caddywhompus kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Feb 13 10:53:18 caddywhompus kernel: device-mapper: table: 254:14: snapshot: Snapshot cow pairing for exception table handover failed Feb 13 10:53:18 caddywhompus kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
Note: the first and third lines are "error red"
These messages are bad, are your snapshots working? What does systemctl status lvm-monitoring.service say?
Immediately after boot I did lvdisplay for the snapshots, and everything seemed fine:

LV Path /dev/VG0/ss_root

Edit: Fixed the lvdisplay output.
Anyway, I'm not too worried about this for the time being, so let's not hijack the thread from the people who can't even boot.

Everything went fine in this location after today's update.
system has a more than simple lvm setup: 2 VGs, one on the SSD (to allow for quick and easy resizing just in case), and one the HDD (so that another one can be added in the working partition layout when it comes )

On both my machine I rebuilt the initram after the update because I noticed the error in the output( for both the kernel I had linux and linux-ck but both can't boot). My lvm.conf are pretty new so I didn't had to modify them "lvmetad=1" was already set.
I tried to chroot my box and rebuild again my initram but no results, and I had also downgraded lvm2 and device-mapper (via pacman -U from the cache dir) and still prompted to recovery shell, so I check the folder /dev/mapper and it was not populated, so tried to issue "vgscan && vgchange -ay" then exiting the shell PC had booted.
Sorry for my long post I hope I had provided all the usefull information. I'm Italian so I'm also sorry for my bad english
EDIT: I forget to mention that PC had the 4 disks with GPT partition table but NB had an MBR partition table.

EDIT: I forget to mention that PC had the 4 disks with GPT partition table but NB had an MBR partition table.
So, non-working system is GPT and working system is MBR. My disks are all MBR as well. Could that be the common characteristic?

No: I have a mix of MBR and GPT...
I noticed that I didn't have the lvm service enabled, so I enabled it, re-upgraded, rebuilt the ramdisk, and rebooted... no luck.
Incidentally, can someone confirm that this is normal in lvm2 2.02.98-1?
systemctl status lvm-monitoring.service
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
@Xyne status output looks like this my system:

He means that the boot process stops at "::running early hook [lvm2]".
I have the same problem and I also forgot the same thing, rebuild the kernel image with mkinitcpio, which I did afterwards from a chrooted environment. My logical volumes are also in a SSD by the way.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was asking if it's normal that I do not have the service file itself (look at my output). Was the service added in the last update?

No, it isn't normal: I have had the lvm service file since switching these machines over to systemd (I remember debating whether it was necessary to enable it or not).
Your lvmetad service is running though?
For lvm2 2.02.98-1?
No this service file si provided by the new version of lvm pkg and the lvm.service is no more present.

I tried to insert the filesystem modules in the initram but for me was useless, still can't boot. I also tried to use the "auto_activation_volume_list" and still no results. At the end I tried to revert the above changes to the initram and use the "mdadm_udev" hook instad of "mdadm" and now I can boot.
And this is my kernel command line:
linux /vmlinuz-linux-ck root=/dev/mapper/ArchVol-lvroot ro dolvm quiet
Hope this can help someonelse.
P.S. I also deleted the link /etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/lvm.service because with the latest lvm pkg this service doesn't exist.

Your lvmetad service is running though?
My system isn't even running, so I don't know how to check if the service is started when it tries to boot.
I didn't have the dolvm parameter on the kernel line. I'm trying again with that.

Opened a ticket for this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33851
On my system the initram scripts do not start the volume group, everything else seems to be working.
As my system drops to the shell, I have to run "lvm lvchange -a e vg0" followed by "exit" and it continues booting.
Problem is that I do not have access to the hardware on all of my systems... so yea... downgraded the three packages (lvm2, device-mapper, linux) and system is booting again.
Make sure you disable your floppy drive in your system BIOS. LVM2 seems to lock up while searching for an LVM on the floppy drive that isn't there. Maybe using the auto_activation_volume_list option in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to pick specific drives to activate would also remedy this problem?
I just made this change and it fixed the error on my system.
Merging with the other threads so all the information is in one place.
First post updated with a reported fix and the bug report.
I copied my last post from the other (wrong) thread into this one, hope this is ok:
Hello, I have an problem similar to this one. But my boot setup is slightly different, because I use my own mkinitcpio hook to decrypt my disk from smartcard.
I have two GPT-partitions on the harddisk (boot and a lvm "physical volume"), the smartcard hook only LUKS-decrypts the pv and normally without the last changes to udev and lvm in the boot procedure, everything is working and my system boots perfect.
But now I got dropped in the initrd rescue shell, after entering my passphrase to access the plugged in smartcard which decrypts my disk. The strange part is, if I enter "exit" to continue the boot process, everything is working as expected.
The order of my hooks in mkinitcpio.conf are the following: HOOKS="base udev autodetect block keymap smartcard encrypt lvm2 resume filesystems keyboard fsck"
(The "encrypt" hook is only needed to add corresponding binaries to the initrd)
Is the lvm hook really switched to early run in the new version? Maybe this explain my problem, becaus it is running bevore my 'smartcard' hook decrypts the pv.
The main problem is, that I can't switch the "smartcard" hook easily to 'early_run' because it depends on other later hooks (to detect the smartcard reader).
Edit: I'm sorry to say, that luciferin solution does not solve my problem. I have no floppy drive that I can disable in BIOS, and commenting out the auto_activation list brought no changes too.
Here is a picture of the early boot procedure: http://t0sp.net/~mb/images/lvm_small.png | http://t0sp.net/~mb/images/lvm_big.png
Fixed typo: encrypt = decrypt.

@tranqil: Do not write anything into auto_activation_volume_list unless you know what you are doing (you don't btw, as your entries are wrong, thus you disabled autoactivation entirely). Leave it COMMENTED!
@maveloth: 'device-mapper: table: 253:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed' - I saw those before by from someone using the mdadm hook - I don't know what they mean, and I don't get those when using the mdadm_udev hook. (There may be an error in the mdadm hook, it misses the mdadm binary which the udev rules need - using the mdadm_udev hook is always a better idea if it works.)
@everyone who gets dropped in a recovery shell: check udevadm info --query=all /dev/your_physical_volume and look if ID_FS_TYPE is set. Also quickly check using 'ps' what processes are running.
@everyone with raid: Compare the results of the mdadm and mdadm_udev hook.
@everyone that hangs during "running early hook lvm2": I have no idea, the daemon doesn't actually do anything before it forks, so this shouldn't happen. I have no clue at all. Maybe send me a copy of your broken initramfs-linux.img.
There's also been a hint that the system may hang when there's a non-existent floppy drive that has been enabled in BIOS (which makes no sense, as scanning is initiated by udev only on devices that are actually LVM members). While this is weird, I would like everyone to check for that. For some reason, the floppy module is added to initramfs by the 'block' hook. Blacklisting the floppy module the kernel command line option modprobe.blacklist=floppy.
As it stands now, I am unable to reproduce any of these problems - all setups I tested boot fine, those include RAID, LUKS and plain LVM setups, and even a setup where I stack LVM on top of LVM (which is insane, but still works without flaws). Dave also tested a setup where LVM stack on top of LUKS, which in turn is inside LVM. None of us is able to break LVM so they could investigate what the problem is. Sorry.
When you get dropped in a recovery shell, you should always be able to run 'lvm vgchance -ay' to activate the volumes and boot - while that shouldn't be necessary, it is still a good workaround to get your systems to boot without too much trouble.
But now I got dropped in the initrd rescue shell, after entering my passphrase to access the plugged in smartcard which encrypts my disk. The strange part is, if I enter "exit" to continue the boot process, everything is working as expected.
Okay, that's new. Is there no delay before it drops you to the shell? What's your kernel commandline?
Hello brain0; My kernel command line is: root=/dev/mapper/mojo-root resume=/dev/mapper/mojo-swap loglevel=2 rootdelay=0 ro vga=current quiet The only delay is related in decrypting the disk. This is ok. But after that there is no delay and I dropped instantly into the rescue shell.
@tranqil: Do not write anything into auto_activation_volume_list unless you know what you are doing (you don't btw, as your entries are wrong, thus you disabled autoactivation entirely). Leave it COMMENTED!
I think my entries are correct. It should be enought to add the vg-name "mojo", the lv-names are for backup only. Apart from this I boot my system with this settings.

Our understanding of scientific work
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) performs tasks relating to radiation protection and precautionary radiation protection. In these fields the BfS professionally and scientifically supports the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
In accordance with the Radiation Protection Act and the Radiation Protection Ordinance, radiation protection in Germany must follow the state of the art of science and technology. The
- Determination,
- Description,
- Application, and
- Further development
of the state of the art of science and technology is thus part of the BfS work. The scientific activities comprise both science-based work – i.e. the application of scientific findings – and research.
Research at the BfS is departmental research
The BfS research establishes basic principles and decision guidance for the appropriate processing and fulfilment of present and future tasks and political consulting. BfS research takes up
- Topics from the political-administrative field,
- Technical developments, and
- Societal changes
- Transforms the issues to be decided and solved into scientific questions,
- Addresses these issues with the help of methods and procedures according to the state of the art of science and technology,
- Analyses and processes the results for the implementation into guides, rules and directives and application in daily work.
However, the BfS also identifies key developments and new research findings and thus clarifies
- Related questions,
- Needs for action, and
- Needs for decision-making at the political level.
Thus, being departmental research, the BfS research goes beyond the classic research approach and comprises the transfer of research results into regulatory and administrative practice as decision support for politics and administration. These include:
- Analysis of the current and future need for information in the political-administrative field,
- Identification of the need for scientific knowledge and its concretisation in issues to be dealt with scientifically,
- Specification of the scientific processing depth taking into account the objective of the departmental task,
- Processing of scientific results for an optimal contribution to the management of departmental tasks,
- Effective communication with and providing results to the respective addressees as well as players in the fields of policy, administration and implementation, the specialist world and the interested public.
Research at the BfS is professionally competent and interdisciplinary
From open scientific questions, the BfS develops a medium-term research programming, taking into account socio-political and interdepartmental boundary conditions. The BfS performs in-house research and awards research projects to third parties. Both require a high degree of scientific power of judgment and expertise in order to enable
- The science-based formulation of objective,
- The appropriate choice of methods,
- Target-oriented professional support, as well as
- The examination and evaluation of results with regard to the resulting need for action.
Results from research projects are normally published in referenced technical journals and at national and international conferences. The results also serve to inform the general public in an independent and neutral manner. In communicating the results, the BfS also points out the limits of the present state of knowledge and existing uncertainties. In cases where no legal regulations exist but scientific results indicate that precautionary measures be reasonable, the BfS makes substantiated recommendations.
The BfS
- Ensures the long-term preservation of its professional and scientific competence,
- Takes part in university teaching, and
- Carries out training programmes and seminars.
Apart from a basic scientific understanding of the
- Physical,
- Chemical,
- Biological,
- Medical, and
- Ecological
mechanisms and interrelations existing in the BfS fields of responsibility,
- Sociological and social-scientific as well as
- Economic and legal
Aspects are components of the interdisciplinary research at the BfS.
Research in the BfS serves the BfS protection mandate
Research at the BfS provides important fundamentals and preconditions to
- Take into account the advancing state of the art of science and technology,
- Take into account the need for protection of the general public,
- Assess possible hazards to man and environment,
- Minimise associated risks, and
- Guarantee the best possible radiation protection in terms of precaution.
The quality of departmental research is measured in terms of
- The scientific quality of results,
- Their processing for implementation, and
- The use of results.
It provides thus a scientifically substantiated and reliable basis for performing the conferred tasks in a responsible manner. Furthermore
- Detailed knowledge of administrative actions and
- Long-time experience as to the feasibility of implementing scientific findings into regulatory practice
are required. Only the combination of these competences ensures that the BfS departmental research meets the demands and corresponds to both the state of the art of science and technology and the needs encountered in practice.

Even after 30-year-old realtor, Reid Rosenthal, was eliminated from the The Bachelorette, he remained persistent. He returned to Hawaii so he could propose to Jillian Harris, leading to a second rejection.
"I thought I was the best guy with her," Reid admits. "I knew I wanted to spend tomorrow. I wasn't 100 percent sure we were going to get married in six months or a year, but I knew she was someone I wanted to spend a lot of time with. I actually thought our relationship was 50 times better than the other guys. I thought it was my job to come back and get her."
Reid also wanted to clarify that returning to Hawaii was his own idea and based on his feelings for Jillian. The producers were not involved but had to ensure it was okay. Even though he has strong feelings for Jillian, Reid says he wishes her the best with her engagement.
As a realtor, Reid's contact information has to be public so he has hired a staff to assist with phone calls and emails. He also believes that his appearance on the show has been beneficial for business, however he is uncertain if he could do it again if invited to be the star of the next "The Bachelor". One thing he also learned and hopes will help in future relationships is to effectively express his feelings.
In an interview with ET, Exec Producer Mike Fleiss says the new "The Bachelor" will be announced in a couple of months. In addition, he is also paying attention to who the fans want to see based on the poll results on abc.com.
Interestingly, our poll and ABC.com shows Reid in the lead as being the new bachelor.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Sprout Stuff, of Austin, Texas, is announcing the recall of about 40 Sprout Stuff infant ring slings. CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using these slings due to a risk of suffocation to infants. CPSC and Sprout Stuff are aware of one report of a death of a 10-day-old boy in the recalled sling.
The Sprout Stuff infant ring sling is fabric/natural muslin and comes with or without a shoulder pad. The sling is worn by parents and caregivers to carry a child up to two years of age. "Sprout Stuff" is printed on the back side of the tail's hem.
Sprout Stuff sold the recalled infant slings, which were made in the United States, directly to consumers between October 2006 and May 2007 for between $35 and $45. Sprout Stuff is directly contacting known purchasers of the recalled infant slings.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled slings and contact Sprout Stuff to return the sling for a full refund. Contact Sprout Stuff toll-free at (877) 319-3103 anytime, email the firm at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact the firm by mail at Sprout Stuff Refunds, P.O. Box 612, Buda, Texas 78610.
Do not attempt to fix these carriers.
Additional Message from CPSC: On March 12, 2010, CPSC issued a warning about sling carriers for babies. Slings can pose two different types of suffocation hazards to babies. In the first few months of life, babies cannot control their heads because of weak neck muscles. The sling's fabric can press against an infant's nose and mouth, blocking the baby's breathing and rapidly suffocating a baby within a minute or two. Additionally, where a sling keeps the infant in a curled position bending the chin toward the chest, the airways can be restricted, limiting the oxygen supply. The baby will not be able to cry for help and can slowly suffocate. CPSC has determined that a mandatory standard is needed for infant sling carriers. While a mandatory standard is being developed, CPSC staff is working with ASTM International to quickly develop an effective voluntary standard for slings. There currently are no safety standards for infant sling carriers.
To see this recall on CPSC's web site, please go to: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10254.html.

Tool Add More Dates to March 2014 Tour
Last month, Tool announced a handful of West Coast tour dates, but they have now added several more concerts to the trek (all dates below). The tour still launches March 4 in Spokane, Wash., and will now go through March 27, wrapping up in Phoenix, Ariz.
VIP pre-sales for most of the newly announced shows go on sale Thursday, Feb. 13, with the general on-sale Friday, Feb. 14. For more details, go here.
While Tool won't be playing frontman Maynard James Keenan's 50th birthday party, but A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and reunited rockers Failure will. The two day fiesta will be May 10 and 11 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
If you're a Tool memorabilia collector, you might want to check out the band's contribution to Clive Barker's Kickstarter project for a hardcover art book. They donated some signed custom tour posters. Only one is left, and it can be yours for a pledge of $2200.
The status of a new Tool album remains up in the air. The band is working on new music, but a timetable hasn't been set. Keenan stated in a recent interview that the creation of a Tool album was "a long process." He also added that he doesn't write the instrumentals and was waiting on his bandmates to bring their songs to him.

Economists aren't very good at what they do because they deal mostly with theories and assumptions. Businesses are pretty good at what they do because they deal mostly with customers and competition. If you want to know how the economy is doing, ask the business leaders. They have the scoop.
I dug through a pile of conference call transcripts to see what CEOs are saying about the economy. Here are 13 excerpts, all from conference calls and presentations that took place in the last 90 days.
Stephen Schwarzman, CEO, Blackstone (NYSE:BX):
So you're seeing a lot of strength in housing, and it's coming from almost every place geographically ... So that's sort of the big winner. Auto and that whole complex is a big winner. They're doing over 15 million cars this year, up from 8.5 at the bottom. And then you have the energy complex, which is really, really a revolution. This is hard to underestimate the impact of energy and all the natural gas that's being produced and all the subsidiary types of things that come from that activity. And if you add on top of that, technology which is still a very big pocket of strength and quite robust in the United States, you've got some really good stuff happening.
On the other hand we do have the U.S. government at work, trying to decrease growth as rapidly as they can. And so they've, unfortunately, had some success in that area, and that leaves us somewhere in the 2%-plus area.
Harris Simmons, CEO, Zions Bancorp:
We think that the next big risk in the industry is rising interest rates. And so we're very focused on what happens when interest rates return to a more historically normal level.
W. Edmund Clark, CEO, TD Bank:
On the positive side, economic fundamentals in the United States continue to improve. The main impediment to growth appears to be the speed and nature of the withdrawal of fiscal stimulus. Debate has actually now opened up on how and when to withdraw some of the monetary expansion. All of this is very good news.
At the same time, the rest of the world looks no stronger. Europe is mired in a recession, Asian growth seems more modest and Japanese attempts to restimulate their economy through monetary stimulation have set off further downward pressure on interest rates and currency values.
Stuart A. Miller, CEO, Lennar:
The overriding driver of recovery in the housing market remains the underproduction of both single and multifamily product throughout the economic downturn and up to and including this year. Over the past 5 years of housing production, we've built an average of under 700,000 single and multifamily homes total per year, with an average obsolescence rate of approximately 300,000 per year. This compares to a need for new dwelling units per year of between 1.2 million and 1.5 million.
This year, a significantly stronger year of building activity, we will produce approximately 950,000 single and multifamily dwellings, and again, will underserve the country's needs. We have more than absorbed the overbuilding of the early to mid-2000s, and have been underproducing for a protracted period of time. This shortfall will have to be made up, and the builders of both multi and single-family products have been pushing to increase production.
Martin Mucci, CEO, Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX):
I think when you look at some of the economic indicators, housing starts are up, prices are up on housing. I think housing is a really important measure for us because we have a lot of jobs around that. A lot of contracting roofers, et cetera, around that. All of that is positive. And so we're feeling like we're coming off the end of the year with some momentum, and that will certainly help us.
Timothy J. Naughton, CEO, AvalonBay Communities:
I think there's reason to be very optimistic when you consider that demographic tailwind that will continue over the next 5 to 10 years, certainly. And then when you think about just the economy itself and you look at the strength of the balance sheets of consumers and corporations, the amount of liquidity out there, combined with the depth of the housing correction, I think there's a good argument we made that the housing cycle we're in right now will be strongest of the last 3 that we've seen.
Gary Cohn, president and COO, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS):
Although we have seen recent improvements in the U.S. economy, growth is relatively light and confidence remains fragile. In addition, while the market generally feels better about the tail risk in Europe, the economy is challenged.
Given the continued uncertainty in the market, we are not managing the firm with the hope that the macro backdrop will improve. We are focused on managing through a continued difficult operating environment.
Prem Watsa, CEO, Fairfax Financial Holdings:
We continue to be very concerned about the prospects for the financial markets and the economies of North America and Western Europe, accentuated by potential weakness in China. There continues to be a big disconnect between the financial markets and the underlying economic fundamentals.
Jeffrey T. Mezger, CEO, KB Homes:
Markets are firming. If the economy continues to expand like it is, I think you'll see the banks loosen up. And if sort of rates go up a little bit but underwriting loosens up a bit, I think you'll see similar demand, if not more. That's why we're not troubled by a little uptick in interest rates right now.
Pierre Nanterme, CEO, Accenture:
The situation in Europe is not even slightly better. It's probably slightly worse. Even if we do not have a Greece event, if you will, the environment is moving from an economic standpoint to recession. And so the mood with our clients over there is still to be thoughtful and to be very mindful about the way they invest. And when clients are thoughtful and mindful, they tend to wait a little bit more and to think further on when and how much they're going to invest.
James R. Craigie, CEO, Church & Dwight (NYSE:CHD)
I think the whole thing about the 2% extra payroll tax wasn't helpful. Don't forget, in America, the average household makes $50,000. 2% is $1,000 a year. I mean, after tax, that's a hurt in their pocketbook. Gas prices have been going up. I -- and you've seen the retailer results, the Walmarts, Kmarts, Targets, Costcos of the world had, had results less than they expected, not very good. So it's weak. I don't think it's -- I'm not ready to declare it's a permanent decline or a second dip on the recession there, but it's a little nervous as far as what's going on up there.
David Cote, CEO, Honeywell (NYSE:HON):
We're really proud now that the [government budget] deficit could only be $600 billion in the year, and while that's encouraging, it doesn't do anything to fix the long-term problem, and the long-term problem is entitlements. If you take a look at the Medicare and Medicaid in particular and some on Social Security that while debt as a percent of GDP is we'll say around 75% today and under the new estimate grows to 83% by the end of the decade ... You take those same numbers, go up to the next decade and it goes to 135% debt as a percentage of GDP largely driven by the baby boomer generation retiring which no politician, Republican or Democrat, really wants to talk about. They're more than willing to say we got to reform entitlements but as soon as you say well, like what, that's when they all start to back off because they don't want to anger the voters.
Brian Shore, CEO, Park Electrochemical:
I think there's a lot of concern about central banks not just in the U.S., China elsewhere, and maybe they stretched themselves out, and they played this maybe game, you want to call it for quite a while and maybe they are getting a brick wall, and the days of easy and free money may be coming to an end or at least maybe tapering off. But it probably wouldn't be good [for the global economy in the short-term], maybe good for long-term because then it would be more based upon fundamentals rather than speed injections.

Google has just updated their Google+ social networking app for iOS to version 4.0, and among the new and improved features is support for Google+ Communities, the ability to set timezones and indicate guest numbers in events, profile editing, a new compose interface, and a new design for visual stream. According to Google:
On iOS, our new version lets you swipe through photo albums inline; you can tap once to view photos in all their glory; and the iPhone app now applies a subtle pan-zoom-scale effect to pictures in the stream.
Google also, not surprisingly, rolled out a major Google+ update for Android at the same time.
However, the quality and quantity of their recent iOS updates makes the iPhone one of the best Google phones on the market. That might seem counter-intuitive, but Google isn't in the hardware or even OS business. It's in the data aggregation and advertising business. They're skating to where the high-value eyeballs are. (More on that in a future post.)
Google+ 4.0 is a free update, like the app itself, and you can grab it now from the App Store.

The Buffalo Junior Sabres are launching an online auction program,www.jrsabresraffles.org, to help raise money for the team while also giving fans a chance to win Sabres prizes.
Online auctions will be held throughout the hockey season and will feature several different prizes, including autographed Sabres memorabilia, game-worn jerseys, player meet-and-greets, locker room tours and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
The first of these online auctions begins March 15, with the winner receiving two tickets to the Sabres vs. Capitals game on March 30 at First Niagara Center. After the game, the winner and a guest will have the opportunity to meet Sabres captain Jason Pominville in the team's locker room, where the winner will also receive Pominville's game-worn jersey from that night's game. Tickets are available for $5 at www.jrsabresraffles.org and fans have until March 29 to purchase chances to win.
All proceeds from the online auctions will go directly to supporting the Buffalo Junior Sabres team.
Since 1975, the Buffalo Junior Sabres franchise has offered Western New York's elite hockey players a setting to hone their skills while providing a pathway to further their hockey careers at the collegiate and professional levels. By educating and guiding young hockey players, the Buffalo Junior Sabres have launched the careers of several NHL players, including Brian Gionta, Ryan Callahan and current Buffalo Sabres assistant coach Kevyn Adams. Currently playing in the Ontario Junior Hockey League at the Junior "A" level, the Buffalo Junior Sabres remain committed to its foundation of educating and developing young hockey talent in Western New York and Southern Ontario. The team is proudly owned and operated by the Buffalo Sabres Alumni Association, with former Sabres Larry Playfair and Michael Peca serving as the club's president and general manager, respectively.

Bought one out of impulse for my girlfriend to take on our dives. They have a new SP8 that has a separate housing you can buy which is only like $70 that allows you to reach ~130.
I originally tested it on the Hilo side of the Big Island just as the sun was setting. In from what I can tell its wasn't going to be the best outfit for low light environments. The visibility off 4 mile that day wasn't that well so I wanted to really give it a chance during the day in some clear water. Today in Kona it was ~9am and the sun was almost perfect. Water was pretty clear in the shallows on the south side of Kahalu'u. I kept to the underwater modes they have setup in the camera, Macro, Sport and Normal. I liked the way some of the photos turned out. Not bad at all for a handheld in my opinion. My only complaint is the speed in which it takes the photo. The time it takes to set the focus and actually open the shutter is significant enough to where I missed a couple good shots. I am patient and so is my girlfriend so I think this camera will work for now. She gets this one, I get the 5D Mark II.
Once we take it on a dive with us I will post up photos from different depths if visibility permits.
Here are a couple samples I took today in Kona.
Resized 1600x1200 (PM me if you would like a full resolution photo)
10-12' distance Photo (Underwater Sport mode)
Underwater Macro Mode (Not too bad)
Underwater Sport Mode
Cropped 5-6' distance photo
Dear Intova,
I live on the islands....it says you make these in Honolulu, feel free to send me samples, I can test them, post reviews and mail it back.
