Factory, kernel-desktop-2.6.34-8.2.i586, udev-154-1.1 # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 cr_sdb1; ls -l /dev/mapper/cr_sdb1 Enter passphrase for /dev/sdb1: Key slot 0 unlocked. brw-r----- 1 root disk 253, 4 May 25 14:53 /dev/mapper/cr_sdb1 # ls -l /dev/mapper/cr_sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 25 14:53 /dev/mapper/cr_sdb1 -> ../dm-4 Ie /dev/mapper/cr_sdb1 gets created as device and shortly afterwards turns into a symlink. The problem is that the operation is not atomic. boot.crypto wants to run fsck shortly after unlocking the device and sometimes exactly hits a point where the device is gone. output of udevadm monitor: KERNEL[1274791715.127143] add /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) UDEV [1274791715.129464] add /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) KERNEL[1274791715.136469] add /devices/virtual/bdi/253:4 (bdi) UDEV [1274791715.137020] add /devices/virtual/bdi/253:4 (bdi) KERNEL[1274791715.137679] change /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) UDEV [1274791715.138427] change /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) KERNEL[1274791715.140250] change /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) KERNEL[1274791715.147291] remove /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) KERNEL[1274791715.152999] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/253:4 (bdi) UDEV [1274791715.153534] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/253:4 (bdi) KERNEL[1274791715.153686] remove /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) KERNEL[1274791715.165941] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/host0/target0:0:1/0:0:1:0/block/sdb/sdb1 (block) KERNEL[1274791715.168439] add /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) KERNEL[1274791715.168828] add /devices/virtual/bdi/253:4 (bdi) KERNEL[1274791715.180660] change /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) UDEV [1274791715.303699] add /devices/virtual/bdi/253:4 (bdi) UDEV [1274791715.469626] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/host0/target0:0:1/0:0:1:0/block/sdb/sdb1 (block) UDEV [1274791715.562604] change /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) UDEV [1274791715.581646] remove /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) UDEV [1274791715.584566] remove /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) UDEV [1274791715.586253] add /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) UDEV [1274791715.763043] change /devices/virtual/block/dm-4 (block) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
