The dmeventd is a device monitoring daemon that monitors mirror, raid,
snapshot and thin pool devices and acts on mirror legs being gone,
snapshots/pool devices filling up etc... Normally, you should always
use dmeventd if you're also using these kinds of volumes as it provides
automatic predefined actions.

The problem is in --disable-dmeventd that causes the DMEVENTD_PATH to
be undefined here. It should be fixed now:

Thanks for the report!
