If I understand what's going on here, I think device-mapper is trying to work with two volumes that don't involve LVM, causing the errors. Is this a device-mapper bug? A udev bug? Something I have configured wrong? During boot, I see the following messages: =============================== starting version 230 :: running early hook [lvm2] :: running hook [udev] :: Triggering uevents...

(If that is what is being referred to by "table: 253:21" and "table: 253:22".) They are each a btrfs filesystem, on a md RAID 1, of 3 hard drive partitions. They're each separate boot partitions, for separate installs. All other volumes in the system are btrfs RAID's on LVM volumes, not using md arrays. (Except swap is an md array of raw LVM volumes.) dmsetup table shows (253:21 and 253:22 are NOT on here) =============================== disk3-disk3thin: 0 1048576000 linear 253:6 0 disk3-terramain3: 0 209715200 thin 253:6 1 disk3-disk3thin-tpool: 0 1048576000 thin-pool 253:4 253:5 512 0 0 disk3-disk3thin_tdata: 0 1048576000 linear 8:35 33818624 disk2-terraswap2: 0 33554432 linear 8:19 2048 disk1-disk1thin-tpool: 0 1048576000 thin-pool 253:17 253:18 512 0 0 disk1-disk1thin_tdata: 0 1048576000 linear 8:3 33818624 disk3-disk3thin_tmeta: 0 262144 linear 8:35 1082394624 disk1-disk1thin_tmeta: 0 262144 linear 8:3 1082394624 disk2-disk2thin: 0 1048576000 linear 253:7 0 disk3-terrasnapper3: 0 209715200 thin 253:6 2 disk2-persistent2: 0 209715200 thin 253:7 3 disk3-terraswap3: 0 33554432 linear 8:35 2048 disk1-disk1thin: 0 1048576000 linear 253:19 0 disk2-terrasnapper2: 0 209715200 thin 253:7 2 disk1-terramain1: 0 209715200 thin 253:19 1 disk2-disk2thin-tpool: 0 1048576000 thin-pool 253:2 253:3 512 0 0 disk2-disk2thin_tdata: 0 1048576000 linear 8:19 33818624 disk1-persistent1: 0 209715200 thin 253:19 3 disk2-disk2thin_tmeta: 0 262144 linear 8:19 1082394624 disk1-terrasnapper1: 0 209715200 thin 253:19 2 disk2-terramain2: 0 209715200 thin 253:7 1 disk3-persistent3: 0 209715200 thin 253:6 3 disk1-terraswap1: 0 33554432 linear 8:3 2048 =============================== -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
