Description:

If sd-lvm2 has been used in HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, latest update will trigger mkinitcpio and it would result in

==> WARNING: Hook 'sd-lvm2' is deprecated. Replace it with 'lvm2' in your config
/usr/lib/initcpio/functions: line 735: lvm2: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Failed to read lvm2

This would be fixed by changing sd-lvm2 to lvm2, but I guess this is not an appropriate way of deprecation as it breaks initramfs and make system unbootable.

Additional info:
lvm2 2.03.11-2

Steps to reproduce:
Update to lvm2 lvm2 2.03.11-2

I guess this should be changed as well: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#Configuring_mkinitcpio_2

At least the word "deprecated" and "WARNING" should change imho, but I won't argue about that.

Looks like this is supposed to work, but it requires the symlink have the full path.

This is already fixed in lvm2 2.03.11-3, please test.
The wording for the warning comes from mkinitcpio... I can not influence that.

Also opened a pull request for mkinitcpio to support symlinks with relative target path.
