Since some days ago, the debian-installer run in Squeeze is very slow
some times. Looking at the process list, I was able to trace it to
the calls to 'udevadm settle' being done several times during
installation. For example removing lvm partitions currently take 3
minutes _each_ because of this.
I did an strace of such udevadm run to try to figure out what is going
on. Here is the full strace log:

The process hang after the sendto() call and the rt_sigsuspend() call,
and time out with SIGALRM after what I suspect is 3 minutes.
Here is a fragment from the installation syslog showing the effect of
these slow calls:

Notice how there is a 3 minutes delay between each removal.
Any ideas how to debug or fix this?
Setting severity to important as this affect debian-installer badly
without breaking the installation completely.
Happy hacking,
