I wonder if the underlying issue is that we shouldn't be calling udevadm settle from something running from udev. Instead, of a udev-triggered run of ceph-disk does something that changes the partitions, it should just exit and let udevadm run ceph-disk again on the new devices...? sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
