scott, I don't yet fully understand the data/links/db thing, but the result I've been able to see;
with that rule I suggested allowing disk types to export vol_id, every time you insert a thumb drive whether or not lvm type, when you remove the drive sdX is removed, however when you reinsert/insert a different drive afterwards, that sdX is never used again. ie: insert drive1, shows up as sde; remove drive 1, sde disappears from /dev insert drive2, shows up as sdf (should be as there exists no sde in /dev) remove drive2, sdf disappears from /dev and so one; now sure what happens after sdz but either case it's a problem; Another idea while the kernel change events are still being worked out; what about this line being added below the partition rule in 65-persistent-storage.rules: ENV{DEVTYPE}=="disk", ATTR{removable}=="0", IMPORT{program}="vol_id --export $tempnode" this only exports disk vol_id if it isn't not a removable disk, hack I know but might work until changes are finished to the kernel event thing? I'm still trying to figure out why lvm doesn't have this problem when installed from the alt cd. -- vol_id not run for entire-disk device breaks LVM across entire disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
