Bug#484823: multipath-tools: /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules breaks LVM snapshots

[Tim Woodall]

Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.4.7-1.1etch1
Severity: normal

The /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules exposes a race that causes LVM
snapshots to fail to be created intermittently.

This caused my backups to suddenly start failing when I installed this
package to get kpartx.

/sbin/lvcreate -A n -L500M -s -nroot-backup /dev/vg0/root
  LV vg0/root-backup in use: not deactivating
  Couldn't deactivate new snapshot.

This seems closely related to bug 343671.
