From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: echo "mkdmnod" | /sbin/nash --quiet >/dev/null 2>&1 Currently the above line in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is used to create /dev/mapper/control because udev does not do so. I believe this is wrong. Only udev should be creating device nodes. Please make udev create /dev/mapper/control if the dm_mod module is loaded so that rc.sysinit does not need to do it. NB This change is needed to allow improvements to the SE Linux policy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Comment out the mkdmnod line from rc.sysinit and observe that there is no /dev/mapper/control. Additional info:
Medium-term, I'll aim to get libdevmapper to create it transparently.
