Hello !
I have a problem, some days ago with the /dev directory. Some or all
blocking devices despaired like /dev/vg/ /dev/loop/ /dev/sda and some
others also. After a reboot I see that my server couldn't boot in,
couse it try to find the root filesystem from /dev/vg/root (using lvm)
At the boot process when I see that Activating mdev, I see that the
logical volume groups found ok, so after I rewrite the fstab to
/dev/mapper/vg-root I can boot in. But also couldn't see /dev/sda and
others. When I use this command udevadm test /sys/block/sda/sda1 then
it appears at under /dev/sda1 , this also true for the loop device ram
devices and others. I use kernel 2.6.32-xen-r1 , and
sys-fs/udev-151-r4. any help will be appreciated.
Well, I was hoping someone that knows more about udev would post
something. This is what I would check into. Did you upgrade udev
recently? If so, try downgrading and rebooting. If that doesn't help,
I would delete the udev rules and reboot. They should be in
/etc/udev/rules.d/.
If neither of those helps, maybe try a newer version that is not
supposed to be stable. I am using the same version of udev you are but
I don't use lvm so I can't say that it works, just that it works for me
without lvm.
If you are still stuck, post again with what you tried. Maybe someone
will come up with something.
