Description Raymond Jennings 2018-12-16 12:41:09 UTC
I lvremove'd an active volume, but for some reason the block device still persists in /dev/mapper and /dev/<vg>

An ls of /sys/block shows that the dm devices in question no longer exist, yet they're still showing up in /dev

Related issues: renaming logical volumes sometimes creates symlinks instead of moving devices.

Unknown package?
Comment 3 Raymond Jennings 2018-12-16 15:49:02 UTC
Yeah, I'm not sure if this is an issue with udev, lvm2, the kernel, or something else, though those three packages are my first suspects.
Comment 4 Raymond Jennings 2018-12-17 04:49:27 UTC
Just curious but I'm thinking what happens is this:

1.  lvm commands interface with the device mapper
2.  Stuff gets juggled in the kernel
3.  Uevents get fired off
4.  Udev catches them
5.  /dev is updated by udev

Is this correct?

If so, then shouldn't udev be assigned, or at least CCed on, this bug?

If not, how does it work?
