https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329655#c2 George Iosif <giosif@ase.ro> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WORKSFORME | --- Comment #2 from George Iosif <giosif@ase.ro> 2007-10-15 17:08:36 MST --- Hi, I'm sorry, but this does not solve the problem. The true cause is not that udev doesn't create the "real" (read /dev/sdX for my case) devices in the default 30 seconds (it creates them, until the 30 seconds expire), but the fact that, by the time the /boot/62-lvm2.sh script is run, the specific external USB device (in my case, /dev/sdb and its partitions) is not yet "seen" by the USB subsystem (and, therefore, neither by udev), and, as such, cannot activate the LVM volumes present on that specific device. By the time the boot process reaches the "Waiting for the root device to appear..." stage (when the udev_timeout value kicks in), the USB subsystem has finished enumerating the devices, udev has created the devices in /dev (including /dev/sdb and its partitions), but it's already too late, since the LVM volumes will not be activated (so, no /dev/NAME_OF_LVM_VOLUME/NAME_OF_LOGICAL_VOLUME(S) files present). If needed, I can go into more detail with the description of the problem.
