Please image the partition table so that someone can reproduce the issue and fix it... looks like an useful test case :-) > I think that udev crashes, instead of simply acknowledging that it It is likely triggering a bug somewhere in the load of stuff we run when a disk is hotplugged to create the links in /dev/by-uuid, etc. I.e. maybe the bug is not in udev itself. > So, does anyone know how to make udev stopping gracefully to detect > the full list of partitions, and restrict itself to real hardware? The kernel itself parses the partition table.

Indeed. Either preserve enough of that partition table to be able to reproduce the bug, or give up on it ever being found at the moment you decide to clean up the disk to be able to use it :-( -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
