[Bug 571093] Re: multipath + libvirtd eats away more memory over time

[ariel]

I performed some additional observations, I agree Nigel's statements in
#13:

disabling the "change" ACTION in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules is
just a bandaid, the memory leak is there anyways, just that it takes
waaaaaaaay longer to fill in the memory.

The problem "solved" by disabling the "change" ACTION in
/lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules seems to be a real bug somewhere in
udev or multipath:  monitoring with udevadm the number of events gets
reduced from "tons per second" to one every 30 seconds in my hardware,
which shows all the other events were spurious events generated by a
udev/multipath feedback loop...

That issue is being tracked in

and also Debian bug
