The devices nodes parted created do not contain a UUID which is needed.

And then you'd have to wait for the event to finish. That's the tricky bit. Normally we would've called 'udevadm settle', but we really should be a bit more selective here.

Current kpartx rules can only add partition mappings, but not update/delete them, which is needed in case some partitions are removed by parted. Implementing such rule in turn requires some changes in kpartx utility, namely something like 'update' option (in addition to existing add/delete options). With this option, kpartx would rescan the partition table and add/delete partition mappings as needed (note that this is not equal to running kpartx -d followed by kpartx -a since kpartx does not remove partition mappings for non-existent partitions). My plan is to implement kpartx -u, then match it to udev 'change' uevent for DM devices and then replace the [*] with issuing 'change' uevent for the device, which should let udev 'do the right thing'. Any comments are welcome. -- 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.

No, there are no better ways to do this today.

Does that mean that calling 'udevadm settle' is the only way? Isn't there any 'udev library' that could do the job? Waiting in loop for devices to appear (as suggested in bug #502967, c#26) does not seem feasible to me - how could parted know which devices to wait for? Kay, Hannes: please comment.
