'dmsetup udevcookies' And you may manually force it's completion by: 'dmsetup udevcomplete_all' to see whether it will make lvchange to continue. > > - "sync" also cannot complete, so I can only do force reboot without flush > > -- > dm-devel mailing list > dm-devel@redhat.com We should probably keep this on linux-lvm list only as it's not dm related.
