So the same deadlock issue was hit again:

root      1378     1  0  1031   560   0 17:28 ?        00:00:00 
/lib/udev/watershed sh -c /sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a y
root      1379  1378  0  1055   588   0 17:28 ?        00:00:00 sh -c /sbin/lvm 
vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a y
root      1381  1379  0  8719 14080   0 17:28 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/lvm 
vgchange -a y
root      1387     1  0  1031   324   0 17:28 ?        00:00:00 
/lib/udev/watershed sh -c /sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a y

There is clearly 2 incarnations of the udev rule being triggered.

The vgchange command took the LVM lock and waits for some udev event:
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00007fd37e8750f7 in semop () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
#1  0x00007fd37ed3863c in dm_udev_wait () from /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02.1

#12 0x0000000000424ddd in process_each_vg ()
#13 0x000000000041acd9 in lvm_run_command ()
#14 0x000000000041b4d4 in lvm2_main ()
#15 0x00007fd37e7abeff in __libc_start_main () from 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
#16 0x000000000040f1a9 in _start ()
 
Apparently the udev event does not arrive, because the second rule instance 
also triggered vgscan/vgchange, and those cannot proceed because of the flock() 
taken by the first vgchange.

Any views?  What version of liblvm do we plan to ship in 11.10 Oneiric?
(2.02.66 seems dated)
