History for this is based on bug 117225. Note that the problem was with /dev/mapper entries, not /dev/disk/by-uuid entries. Perhaps the /dev/disk/by-uuid issue is a side-effect of this? (I don't use FS UUIDs for mounting since /dev/mapper names are already good enough.) I would be fine with /dev/disk/by-uuid always pointing to the origin -- it makes sense, as detailed in comment 3.
Associated changelogs: devmapper (2:1.02.18-1ubuntu4) gutsy; urgency=low * Fix a regression introduced by Kees's otherwise largely correct patch. We still need to not run vol_id on snapshot target devices, otherwise we'll end up using a changing device, and arguing over UUID/LABEL symlinks. (This might not be a complete fix, LVM may need to be patched to make inactive devices). * Correct a school-boy error with the stat()/mknod() loop; we can't unlink then mknod() since that means there's a period without a device node, which could upset callers. Instead rename() the new device node over the top. -- Scott James Remnant <sc...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 29 May 2007 09:40:24 +0100 devmapper (2:1.02.18-1ubuntu3) gutsy; urgency=low * Adjust debian/dmsetup.udev rule to not ignore "snapshot" devices. This will be needed even after "udev-lvm-mdadm-evms-gutsy" is solved (LP: #117225). * Update Maintainer fields for Ubuntu. -- Kees Cook <k...@ubuntu.com> Sun, 27 May 2007 12:12:22 -0700 -- disk/by-uuid/foo symlink points to snapshot rather than the origin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
