[Bug 833891] Re: lvscan often times out during boot

[Eduard Hasenleithner]

So far, I'm a bit hesitant to test the patch. I assume that the patch
will work because the "mapper-task-completion-event" will just be
processed by the 2nd udevd. There would only be a small time window
of(~1ms) during exit of the 1st udevd, where the completion event might
be lost, causing the scan to hang. And due to deamonizing, this would
probably go unnoticed for the whole system uptime.

Actually your pointer to bug 818177 is relevant. In comment 19 steve is
proposing a solution for the problem I described.

Title:
  lvscan often times out during boot

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm not 100% certain that mountall is the problem, but seems a good
  place to start.

  I have some LVM partitions on my laptop, and some filesystems on there
  are mounted through fstab:

  /dev/schroots/schroots /srv/devel ext3 defaults,relatime 0 0
  /dev/schroots/isos /iso ext4 defaults,relatime 0 0

  Often (1/3 of the time?) boot hangs, and after a minute or so I get a
  message saying something about watershed and lvscan timing out.  Then
  it proceeds to mount everything readonly.

  Other times boot proceeds with no problem.
