Ok, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=302422 has " Comment #6 From Hannes Reinecke 2007-08-29 05:12:02 MST ------- That's the dm-linear feature interfering. Please remove /etc/udev/rules.d/62-dm_linear.rules, and run dmsetup remove_all " I wonder why did the device-mapper start to grab (in my case) sdb in the first place? What would the "feature" be? I've looked at /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and I wonder: Is that the only/the right spot to get rid of serial numbers?
