[linux-lvm] Safety of DM_DISABLE_UDEV=1 and --noudevsync
Under what circumstances are DM_DISABLE_UDEV=1 and --noudevsync safe? In Qubes OS, for example, I am considering using one or both of these, but only for operations performed by qubesd. systemd-udevd will still be running, but it will be told to create no symlinks for the devices these commands create or destroy. systemd-udevd will still be in charge of other devices, however, and other lvm2 commands may run that use neither of these. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers) Invisible Things Lab signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/

This env variable is not meant to be use on system with running udev. So it's never safe - and it's only purpose is to be able to make some progress in some critical system condition.
