When handling a regular LVM volume, GRUB can fail with the message:
error: disk `lvmid/******-****-****-****-****-****-****/******-****-****-****-****-****-******' not found.
If the condition which triggers this exists, grub-probe will report the
error mentioned above. Similarly, the GRUB boot code will fail to detect
LVM volumes, resulting in a failure to boot off of LVM disks/partitions.
The condition can be created on any LVM VG by an LVM configuration change,
so any system with /boot on LVM can become unbootable at "any" time (after
any LVM configuration change).
The problem is caused by an incorrect computation of mda_end in disk/lvm.c,
when the metadata area wraps around. Apparently, this can start happening at
around 220 metadata changes to the VG.
