Apparently, > this problem appears whenever chromium is running, and disappears when > you quit chromium. I'm confused about this. Very confused. I know that this bug is still there. I think that the problem is: - kernel, in response to devmapper library request, send uevent with cookie - kernel reports failure (despite uevent was sent), I guess it is some memory allocation error later - libdevmapper takes error path, destroying semaphore, which was already destroyed in udev rules So my guess is that connection with chromium just it perhaps allocates most of system memory and some allocation in kernel perhaps fail then. The final state should be correct, so you can (I hope) ignore that error for now. It is not a cryptsetup bug but I would like to fix it anyway, the problem is the bug appears and disappears quite randomly. Does anyone see this bug in some other libdevmapper user? (lvm, multipath, kpartx, ... ?) (Another possibility is that you have broken udev rules and "dmsetup udevcomplete" is called twice there, but I do not think it the issue.)
