Well, in some sense udev _is_ the user, because it has to wait for the events which create the /dev/mapper/vg-lv and /dev/lg/lv nodes. This resembles the same problem wich causes udevcomplete_all in my comment #11 not to work reliably. The hang is gone, but there is still the problem of some /dev/mapper nodes missing (see comment #12).
On the other hand, with the current behavior of udev waiting is pointless, because udevd immediately aborts event processing, and afterwards waits for vgchange to complete. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802626 Title: vgchange may deadlock in initramfs when VG present that's not used for rootfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/802626/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
