It's running inside VirtualBox. The program causes the udev queue to get longer and longer (more than 20000 entries all from the same device). udevadm monitor seems to endlessly show: KERNEL[1285252911.560217] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/9:1 (bdi) KERNEL[1285252911.560246] remove /devices/virtual/block/md1 (block) KERNEL[1285252911.560265] add /devices/virtual/block/md1 (block) KERNEL[1285252911.560345] add /devices/virtual/bdi/9:1 (bdi) UDEV [1285252911.562187] add /devices/virtual/block/md1 (block) UDEV [1285252911.565052] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/9:1 (bdi) UDEV [1285252911.565349] remove /devices/virtual/block/md1 (block) UDEV [1285252911.575408] add /devices/virtual/bdi/9:1 (bdi) KERNEL[1285252911.576180] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/9:1 (bdi) KERNEL[1285252911.576201] remove /devices/virtual/block/md1 (block) UDEV [1285252911.581709] remove /devices/virtual/bdi/9:1 (bdi) KERNEL[1285252911.587550] add /devices/virtual/block/md1 (block) KERNEL[1285252911.587576] add /devices/virtual/bdi/9:1 (bdi) .. udevadm settle --timeout 1 already needs more than 2 minutes to display the queue. Since libstorage has to use a lot of udevadm settles operation is getting terrible slow (it takes more than 10 minutes to create the MD RAID). The problem seems to be reproducible inside VirtualBox. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
