Hi, This is not related to lvm2. Libvirt is triggering a problem that causes "udevadm settle" to stop working, and libvirt is also then hitting that problem because it calls "udevadm settle" itself.
You can reproduce with just udev by running the following test program (tested with kernel linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64_3.2.14-1): /* test.c */ #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sched.h> static int dummy(void *argv) { _exit(0); } main() { char stack[4096]; clone(dummy, stack+4096, CLONE_NEWNET, NULL); wait(); system("ip link set lo netns -1"); } e.g.: # /etc/init.d/udev restart Stopping the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd. Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd. # time udevadm settle real 0m0.031s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s # gcc -o test test.c # ./test # time udevadm settle real 2m0.160s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.024s # -jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
