Issue

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2232739 I am copying this bug because: Likely applicable on RHEL8 as well Description of problem: After the upgrade completed (so reboot and upgrade done), it may be possible that the newly upgraded system doesn't boot properly, especially because critical system services have been customized while still on previous release. Due to the customization, the service unit from previous release (e.g. RHEL7) will override the service unit from current release (e.g. RHEL8). Solving automatically this particular issue is not possible, because it's impossible to tell whether customization will create havoc or not. Through this BZ, I'm recommending that an Risk High/"Inhibitor until acknowledge" be created when detecting service unit overrides. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): leapp-upgrade-el7toel8-0.18.0-3.el7_9.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a RHEL7 VM with custom partitioning lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom vda 252:0 0 20G 0 disk ├─vda1 252:1 0 1G 0 part /boot ├─vda2 252:2 0 12G 0 part │ ├─vg01-usr 253:0 0 6G 0 lvm /usr │ └─vg01-var 253:1 0 6G 0 lvm /var ├─vda3 252:3 0 6G 0 part / ├─vda4 252:4 0 1K 0 part └─vda5 252:5 0 1015M 0 part [SWAP] Here above it's important to have a separate /var, unsure if having / on the LVM would also reproduce. 2. Create an override of lvm2-pvscan@.service unit systemctl edit lvm2-pvscan@.service --full // editor opens, save and quit, no need to amend // 3. Upgrade using leapp Actual results: Upgrade goes well in reboot phase, but RHEL8 doesn't boot properly, because /var is not getting mounted: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- [ ***] A start job is running for dev-mapp…g01\x2dvar.device (10s / 1min 30s) ...

All this depends if RHEL7 service units and RHEL8 ones are "compatible".
