Hi,

Since updating to lvm2 2.02.85, I'm getting the following message on
bootup after "/sbin/vgchange --sysinit -a y" is ran by the system
initscripts:

/etc/lvm/cache/.cache unlink failed: Read-only filesystem

This happens because the root partition is still mounted as read-only
at that point in the booting process.  Unless I'm mistaken, I believe
the use of the --sysinit option should prevent such error to happen.

Thanks,
Eric Belanger

The .85 uses a new way to get the list of devices and the .cache
is obsolete in this situation and so it's being removed. Though we
missed this case with --sysinit. Thanks for the report, we'll fix
this.
