Package: fai-setup-storage
Version: 3.4.2
Severity: important

setup-storage uses readlink to resolve LVM device names (/dev/<volume
group>/<logical volume>), which are symbolic links, to canonical paths. In
squeeze, these point to /dev/dm-*, which are created by udev and their names
depend on the (varying) order the kernel detects such devices. Hence the results
are not stable across reboots, but setup-storage puts those resolved device
names into /etc/fstab. The simple and proper solution is not to use readlink
here.

A far more detailed description of the problem can be found at [1].

Michael
