Don't close(pp->fd) in orphan_path(). It may solve the problem (device with wrong path). I will take some time to test it. However, I don’t know if there are potential risks. Do you have suggestions about this? Regards, Lixiaokeng -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
