[Bug 144200] Re: Udev is looping, retrying the same operation
Øystein Viggen: you are actually seeing somewhat intended behaviour there :-) The upload fixes evms so that it works for those people who actually want to use evms. Those people will put /dev/mapper/sdXY paths in their fstab, etc. to force its use. The problem you're seeing is that evms has claimed /dev/sda6 for its own, and you therefore can't fsck it -- you'd have to put /dev/mapper/sda6 in your fstab instead. This is perfectly normal for evms :-( -- Udev is looping, retrying the same operation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144200 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 144200] Re: Udev is looping, retrying the same operation
I suppose some debconf question/warning and an /etc/default/evms could be an easy solution to this intended behaviour. A simple package install breaking booting by default sounds harmful. A better solution might be to expand evms to have a look in /etc/fstab to figure out which devices it should stay away from and which it can claim, a lot like how NetworkManager checks /etc/network/interfaces to see which network interfaces to control. This could be a suggestion for upstream, if there still is one.. Having learned not to install evms unless I'm going to use it, I no longer care deeply about this issue :) -- Udev is looping, retrying the same operation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144200 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 144200] Re: Udev is looping, retrying the same operation
I reinstalled evms-2.5.5-26ubuntu1 to see if my system would behave better now. I'd say it was worse, as this made my system crash to a shell during boot, when trying to fsck the filesystem used for /home. Hitting ctrl-d made the system boot (but with no /home) to a state where I could uninstall evms. This restored functional booting again. Screenshot attached. The hard-to-read part under the orange reflection is /dev/sda6. ** Attachment added: DSC00031.JPG http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9718979/DSC00031.JPG -- Udev is looping, retrying the same operation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144200 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 144200] Re: Udev is looping, retrying the same operation
evms (2.5.5-26ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
- call evms_activate from a udev rule when appropriate block devices
are detected.
- ubuntu maintainer address
* debian/patches/99-suse-dos_plugin_activation.patch:
- Patch taken from SuSE evms-2.5.5-173.src.rpm that is believed to
alleviate bd_claim issues. LP: #109320, #115616, #144200.
evms (2.5.5-26) unstable; urgency=low
* Use [ ! -f Makefile ] || make clean instead of -make clean; fixes a
lintian error, and is in general more sane.
* Remove spurious close line from the 2.2.1-2 changelog; makes lintian
happier.
* Remove debian/patches/disk_cache.patch, which is a leftover file from
importing 15-disk_cache.patch.
* 16-fix_manpage_warnings.patch: Escape latin-1 characters in hex dump (!)
in the evms_restore_metadata(8) man page; fixes warnings from man.
* 17-update_autotools_helpers.patch: Update config.{sub,guess} with the
latest versions from autotools-dev; we haven't received any reports of
failures with the old files (most likely since EVMS is Linux-only), but it
is a good idea nevertheless.
* Add LSB init header and status targets to the init script.
evms (2.5.5-25) unstable; urgency=low
* disk_cache.patch: New patch from upstream, fixes an issue with the wrong
key being used in an internal cache.
* Drop Enhances on obsolete packages initrd-tools and devfsd.
* Fix Replaces by evms-ha, which in the last version was inadvertedly on -24
instead of -23 as it should be.
* Use ${binary:Version} instead of ${Source-Version} in dependency from
libevms-dev on libevms-2.5, which should make the package binNMU-safe.
* Update Standards-Version to 3.7.2.0 (no changes needed).
* Remove obsolete files debian/evms.mkinitrd.probe and debian/evms.devfs,
and references to them in debian/rules.
evms (2.5.5-24) unstable; urgency=low
* Partial resync with Ubuntu.
* Update initramfs when EVMS is removed or purged.
* Fix file list in evms-ha.install; the new plugin is named hb2, not ha2.
Also change ha - hb2 in debian/rules. This fixes issues where EVMS would
complain that the hb2 plugin couldn't be loaded (since the plugin ended up
in the main package, and the dependency was from evms-ha).
* Make evms-ha replace libevms-2.5 (= 2.5.5-23), as the hb2 plugin is
moving.
* Update debian/evms.mkinitrd.probe to read hb2 instead of ha.
evms (2.5.5-23) unstable; urgency=low
* Update HA plugin to heartbeat2, as it is now the default in the archive:
* Build-depend on heartbeat-dev (= 2.0.8-7) (ie. bump version). Also
depend on libltdl3-dev, as it seems to be required for detection of
heartbeat2 by configure.
* Build-depend on libglib2.0-dev instead of libglib1.2-dev, as the HA2
plugin requires glib 2.x.
* Give --disable-ha --enable-hb2 to configure, as the ha and hb2 plugins
cannot both be built.
* Update plugin names in debian/evms-ha.install.
* This also fixes a FTBFS issue where heartbeat-dev would bring in a
different version of glib from what configure expected, leading to
not building the ncurses frontend, causing a build failure in the
binary-arch target. (Closes: #427334)
evms (2.5.5-22) unstable; urgency=low
* 14-2.6.19-snapshot.patch: New patch from Juergen E. Fischer, fixes
snapshot generation with kernels newer than 2.6.18. (Closes: #418636)
evms (2.5.5-21) unstable; urgency=low
* 13-get_geometry.patch: New patch from upstream, fixes a segfault when the
kernel reports certain kinds of degenerate geometry. (Closes: #419512)
evms (2.5.5-20) unstable; urgency=low
* Small cleanups in debian/rules.
* Retroactively apply a small fix to the -19 changelog.
evms (2.5.5-19) unstable; urgency=low
* Switch from a monolithic diff to using quilt.
* Build-depend on quilt (= 0.40).
* Include quilt.make in debian/rules, patch on build, and unpatch on clean.
* Split the monolithic diff into patches in debian/patches/ -- mostly
just copied the patch from upstream, reverting it in the monolithic
diff and refreshing it afterwards.
* 01-cli_reload_options.patch: From upstream.
* 02-cli_query_segfault.patch: From upstream.
* 03-group_disk.patch: Debian-specific.
* 04-raid_algorithm.patch: From upstream.
* 05-raid5_degrade_fix.patch: From upstream.
* 06-raid5_remove_spare_fix.patch: From upstream.
* 07-raid5_remove_spare_fix_2.patch: From upstream.
* 08-ntfs_unmkfs.patch: From upstream.
* 09-sysconf.patch: Debian-specific, originally from Ubuntu.
* 10-md_super_fix.patch: From upstream, new patch.
* 11-s390_ioctl_fix.patch: From upstream, new patch.
* 12-basename.patch: From upstream, new patch.
* Remove unwanted status.pl file from Debian diff.
* Remove no-longer-needed debian/rules header template from debhelper.

Removed the following packages: evms evms-ncurses libevms-2.5 Problem all gone. I think upgrade process said it would remove evms after the upgrade.

This is probably connected to an evms bug that's in the 2.6.22 kernel; it bit me too. When I removed the evms package, the problem went away. Let's see... (launchpad search is terrible) it was #115616 where I read about it. -- Udev is looping, retrying the same operation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144200 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
