LVM can be configured to double-check udev to make sure all the /dev entries are done correctly. By default this is not switched on. See /etc/lvm/lvm.conf It might solve that part. It solves some udev issues on one of my systems where the links are not handled correctly by udev for snapshots. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
