Pasted relevant bit of the diff above, it's actually one of those new LP package version-to-version diffs, though it appears to have picked a larger diff than it needed to.
Fundamentally we call udevadm settle after vol_id to guarantee that udev has actually finished with the block device. This means we check: 1) the device exists, ie. udev has created it 2) vol_id returns valid data for the filesystem, ie. any lvm or mdadm has been activated 3) udev has settled, ie. any binaries run by udev have exited and there are no locks -- vol_id doesn't guarantee that mdadm/lvm/etc. have actually finished with the device, so only mitigates and does not solve mountroot race https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244926 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
