Hi Pierre, long ago you had reported #543163 lvm2: Please don't depend on udev http://bugs.debian.org/543163
Unfortunately the fix included in squeeze was incomplete (and you promptly reopened the bug) as the dependencies in the init script were not adjusted accordingly. I'd like to get this fixed in the next stable point release, but we need some confirmation that lvm2/squeeze actually works without udev if we just downgrade the udev dependency in the init script. And I can't easily set up such a system and afaict nobody else has one running ... Are you still running the server you mentioned at that time? Is it running squeeze? Is it running without udev? Does it actively use lvm2? How did you fix the lvm2 init script? [ ] remove udev from Required-Start ? [ ] install the fixed lvm2 from wheezy? [ ] install udev? Andreas On 2013-02-15 19:04, Adam D.
