[linux-lvm] disabling udev_sync and udev_rules

[Serguei Bezverkhi (sbezverk)]

Hello Zdenek,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I am running RH 7.2 with the latest RH kernel update and LVM2 that came out with recent RH update. This issue is 100% reproducible, if you want I can setup a debugging session where you could access my server and take a look at the issue.

BTW running  this 'dmsetup udevcomplete_all' command did not help me and it cannot be a permanent fix.

Please let me know if you are ok for live debugging.

Thank you

Serguei

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...

Regards

Zdenek
