FWIW2: I just tried to reject /dev/loop devices from lvm's filter by adding

"r|/dev/loop.*|",

to devices/filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, set max_loop to 64, rebuilt everything required, rebooted and failed again. Even if the /dev/loop devices are explicitly excluded in lvm.conf, they appear to be scanned when the system is booted, and 64 non-existing loop devices appear to be too many to allow the dm/udev logic in the latest lvm2 package to succeed.

I'm now back to max_loop set to 32 :(

In case of use_lvmetad = 0, the effective filter is "devices/filter"; while in case of use_lvmetad = 1, the effective filter is "devices/global_filter". Please see the comment about this: # Since "filter" is often overridden from command line, it is not suitable # for system-wide device filtering (udev rules, lvmetad). To hide devices # from LVM-specific udev processing and/or from lvmetad, you need to set # global_filter. The syntax is the same as for normal "filter" # above. Devices that fail the global_filter are not even opened by LVM. # global_filter = [] So in your case you need to add this to your lvm.conf. global_filter = ["r|/dev/loop.*|", "a/.*/"] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
