Package: kpartx Version: 0.4.8+git0.761c66f-9 Severity: important When using 'kpartx -d', one has to provide the exact same filename than used for addition (no symlinks, same relative path, etc.). In addition, kpartx installs files in /etc/udev to automatically map some devices. Consequently, when I had a disk image in LVM, and wish to remove it, the disk image is considered in use, and I don't know any way to remove the device mapping.
Typically dm-7: # ll /dev/mapper/ total 0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 59 3 août 20:01 control [...] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 6 août 20:40 VG0-test1--boot -> ../dm-6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 6 août 20:39 VG0-test1--bootp1 -> ../dm-7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 6 août 20:31 VG0-test1--root -> ../dm-5 I would suggest either making kpartx less strict wrt matching disk image paths (e.g. symlinks support, like mount), or place the udev rules in doc/examples instead of enabling them by default. (well, I suppose that kpartx is the culprit, the 'bootp1' files is added as soon as I add a partition with 'parted') -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kpartx depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.48-2 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.48-2 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii udev 158-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo kpartx recommends no packages. kpartx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
