udevadm settle - timeout of 5 seconds reached,
« on: December 06, 2015, 11:45:14 AM »
Since the above msg interrupts the login. it continues saying
Code: [Select]
the event queue contains
/sys/devices/virtual/block/loop/465
and a lot other loops too. Is that to consider normal? And where does it come from?

TIA

It is a bug somewhere, but not easy to determine where.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Ok. It's annoying, but apparently it does no harm. It's my impression it comes (came) up when i hotplugged and unplugged usb devices. I used the mount tool to mount them, but i simply pulled them out without unmounting them (exception made for xfe or commandline) there is no way to do that in TCL. Or am i wrong?

The mount tool adds always a new letter for the next plug-in, even if it's the same device (sdb, sdc, sde sdf ....) - as long as i do not reboot. On the next reboot i have a long list of loops (but without the udevadm statement) in the console. That was really hurting, so i tried to shutdown without backup. And then came up that msg above.

In dmesg at a first glance there is nothing related.

Why would you do that? Use the mount tool to unmount the drive before pulling it.
