This is apparently related to #281831, so I am directing it there. The "opendir failed" messages might be "harmless" on 2.6.10-3 and before, but after I applied the patches in queue for 2.6.10-4, it causes lvm to fail completely (thus, I am Cc'ing debian-kernel as well, so that they are aware of the issue).
Unfortunately, I can't easily debug why, since at that time, I don't have even strace working (because just about everything is on lvm...) If this is not an issue with 2.6.10-4 (e.g. it is actually caused by lvm2 doing something really braindead -- which IS likely since it is doing something stupid on the other kernels as well), then #281831 will have to be raised to grave or critical. vgscan --mknodes unlinks /dev/vg_raid1 (the VG where my LVM lvs live), but apparently it fails to create it back. /dev is udev-based (tmpfs). Manually poking around it (mkdir, etc) works just fine. This same setup, with the exact same .config worked in 2.6.10-3. Maybe one of the new security clamps is hosing something lvm2 is trying to do? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
