Hi


To 'unblock' stuck processes waiting on udev cookie - you could run:

'dmsetup udevcomplete_all'


However the key question is - how you could get stuck.
That may need further debugging.

You would need to expose your OS  version and also version of lvm2 in use.

Non working cookies are bad - and disabling udev sync is even more bad idea...
