Description Gordan Bobic 2010-05-23 10:51:07 UTC

Description of problem:
Approximately half the time, udev hangs for a long time at startup, and eventually produces many messages like this before eventually timing out:

  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md126 (10745)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md127 (10746)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md126 (10747)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md127 (10748)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md126 (10749)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md127 (10750)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md126 (10751)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md127 (10752)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md126 (10753)
Wait timeout. Will continue in the background.             [FAILED]


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udev-151-7.fc13.x86_64
libudev-147-2.6.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Approximately 50% of the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up rootfs on md RAID5
2. Reboot
  
Actual results:
udev startup stops until timeout.

Expected results:
Fast startup without timeouts and error messages.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 14:52:06 UTC

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
