Hello, The following command : # dmsetup remove foo;echo "0 10 linear 8:16 63"|dmsetup create foo & echo "0 20 linear 8:16 63"|dmsetup create foo will quite easily produce error message like : "device-mapper ioctl cmd 3 failed: Device or resource busy" Is it designed behaviour ? Can't we expect libdevmapper to serialize its ioctls ? multipath(8), being run in storms by udev, has trouble with this. Ideas ?
