[opensuse] Problems with device-mapper in 11.1
Hello, I have set up opensuse-11.1 with an encrypted filesystem. With that, I get two problems: 1. When booting, I get the warning udevd-event: device node '/dev/mapper/control' already exists, link to '/dev/device-mapper' will not overwrite it. 2. When I run mkinitrd, I get the following error: device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I could analyze the second problem. The patch is attached. Can somebody please apply this upstream? I have still no solution for the first problem, though. --- /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Bootloader/Tools.pm.orig 2008-12-21 15:06:29.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Bootloader/Tools.pm 2008-12-21 15:06:34.000000000 +0100 @@ -622,6 +622,7 @@ } my @dm_devs = qx{$dmsetup info -c --noheadings -o name | grep -v part}; + chomp @dm_devs; if ($dm_devs[0] !~ /No devices found/) { foreach my $dmdisk (@dm_devs) { my @tables = qx{$dmsetup table '$dmdisk'}; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The best way is to attach the patch to the bug report in our bugzilla. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
