I get the same warning, too, at boot time and so far also at any time I call a LVM command. In anycase the command (and hence the boot itself, too) takes about 7 minutes! (Which makes every reboot very annoying, and I had plenty of them recently due to #918764.) So far I've seen it in the following circumstances: * At boot, probably due to calls to vgchange or so. * Calling vgs * Calling lvs * Calling lvresize > two times. I get this type of warning 44 times per boot or LVM command: # time lvs WARNING: Device /dev/md0 not initialized in udev database even after waiting 10000000 microseconds.

That's a clear difference to my case, probably because of using a stock kernel: System boots more or less fine, but takes about 8.5 minutes minutes to boot of which likely 7 minutes are due to LVM. vgc6 is a VG on two SSDs coupled to a RAID1 with md. vgwd is a VG on two 3TB spinning disks coupled to a RAID1 with md. There's also a third md-based RAID1 without LVM for /boot/. > I am running a custom 4.19.13 which ran fine on stable. I am running stock Debian unstable kernels. So far it happened with 4.18.20-2 (last 4.18 which was in sid/buster) and 4.19.12-1 (current is 4.19.13-1). Oh, and JFTR: I'm using sysvinit-core as PID1 and it so far happened with at least udev 240-2 and 240-3.
