Do you know which rules? Are you referring to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570359? Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but do you think this problem would be fixed by adding the appropriate udev rules? I did a quick comparison of Debian's udev rule files and those in lvm2 GIT. Example: --- Debian: /lib/udev/rules.d/56-lvm.rules lvm2: udev/11-dm-lvm.rules Missing in Debian: # Do not create symlinks for inappropriate subdevices. ENV{DM_LV_NAME}=="pvmove?*|?*_vorigin", GOTO="lvm_disable" ENV{DM_LV_LAYER}=="?*", GOTO="lvm_disable" # Create symlinks for top-level devices only. ENV{DM_VG_NAME}=="?*", ENV{DM_LV_NAME}=="?*", SYMLINK+="$env{DM_VG_NAME}/$env{DM_LV_NAME}", GOTO="lvm_end" --- --- Debian: (none) lvm2: udev/69-dm-lvm-metad.rules Missing in Debian: SUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="lvm_end" # Device-mapper devices are processed only on change event or on supported # synthesized event. KERNEL=="dm-[0-9]*", ENV{DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN}!="?*", GOTO="lvm_end" # Only process devices already marked as a PV - this requires blkid to be # called before. ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="LVM2_member|LVM1_member", RUN+="$env{DM_SBIN_PATH}/pvscan --cache --major $major --minor $minor" LABEL="lvm_end" --- --- Debian: /lib/udev/rules.d/55-dm.rules lvm2: udev/10-dm.rules.in Missing in Debian: <VSN stuff, whatever that is> # Decode udev control flags and set environment variables appropriately. # These flags are encoded in DM_COOKIE variable that was introduced in # kernel version 2.6.31. Therefore, we can use this feature with # kernels >= 2.6.31 only. Cookie is not decoded for remove event. ENV{DM_COOKIE}=="?*", IMPORT{program}="$env{DM_SBIN_PATH}/dmsetup udevflags $env{DM_COOKIE}" --- Regards, Oskar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
