Package: kernel
Version: 2.6.11-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
this system boots from a RAID1 array made of 2 SATA disks. It then
tries to mount 2 PATA disks. Unfortunately mount refuses to mount
those disks because they are "busy". The "dm_mod" module is
responsible for locking those disks. It is loaded automatically on
boot (BTW, do you know who is responsible for this ?). Removing this
module does not even work:
# rmmod dm_mod
ERROR: Module dm_mod is in use
I can still work-around this bug by using the "-f" option:
# rmmod -f dm_mod
Then I can mount my disks.
The same problem also existed in previous kernels I tried (2.6.8 and
2.6.10).
To sum this up there are in fact 3 bugs:
1. dm_mod is loaded even if I did not requested it (I would not care
if it did nothing)
2. dm_mod locks my disks
3. dm_mod cannot be removed simply
