(Curiously this is not an issue I remember anyone raising with me as a problem
before.)
I am fairly sure i did report that, i even tried moving the module
loading framework from lvm2 to device mapper, but the resulting code
sucked too much to submit, the idea was to load device-mapper module,
and all target modules on first use.
Because distros go the easy and stupid way and just load everything
they configured as a module. :) That is something to solve, or at
least avoid and hide a bit.
In this case we were forced to preload dm-mod to work around the issue
;)
I think its all covered with this patch. :) But if yo have any better
idea, let us know.
what patch?
