    serious evms error after upgrade-[temp solution]

    Hi all,

    Just upgraded to gutsy gibbon rc and I have the processor running at 75% because of this error:

    ioctl:error adding target to table
    device-mapper:table:254-2:linear:dm-linear:device lookup failed

    it is polling /dev/scd1 which was /dev/sdc0 under feisty every few seconds. Gutsy will not be useable with this problem.

    Cheers.


    Found a temp solution do: sudo killall udevd if you get this problem

    This appears to be a serious bug in evms package that affects laptops by the looks of it. A temp fix after booting is to do the above 'sudo killall udevd' or remove the evms package. Some users report that removing evms only leads to it being reinstalled again when a batch of upgrades are available.

    Re: serious error after upgrade-please help

    "sudo ln -s /dev/sdc0 /dev/scd1" will make it work, but I'm sure something won't be happy about it... You may want to investigate your fstab.

    By the way, any guess as to why it changed? If your hardware didn't change, the device nodes shouldn't change either...
