Package: systemd Version: 247.3-6 Followup-For: Bug #993738 Dear Maintainer,
Looks like i was hit by simillar problem following upgrade from buster to bullseye. Symptom : several LVM logical volume are not started at boot time, entering emergency shell, waiting few minutes, and doing "mount -a" allow to boot quite strange... "journalctl -xb" log was full of : systemd-udev device Failed to update device symlinks: Too many levels of symbolic links After investigation, problem was cause by having 80+ GPT partitions with same partlabel :-) causing, a least, problems to populate /dev/disk/by-partlabel directory (partlabel was not needed, an error longtime ago in script creating GPT partition caused this) Removing/clearing partlabel for all partition with command like "sgdisk -c42:"" /dev/sdd" solve the issue Don't know if it's a bug, but in buster the machine booted fine, it's more like a regretion Not sure a lot of user have 80+ partitions with same partlabel, hope this message can help them :-) Thanks guys for maintaining Debian, Have a nice day, -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-security') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii libacl1 2.2.53-10 ii libapparmor1 2.13.6-10 ii libaudit1 1:3.0-2 ii libblkid1 2.36.1-8 ii libc6 2.31-13 ii libcap2 1:2.44-1 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.18-4 ii libcryptsetup12 2:2.3.5-1 ii libgcrypt20 1.8.7-6 ii libgnutls30 3.7.1-5 ii libgpg-error0 1.38-2 ii libip4tc2 1.8.7-1 ii libkmod2 28-1 ii liblz4-1 1.9.3-2 ii liblzma5 5.2.5-2 ii libmount1 2.36.1-8 ii libpam0g 1.4.0-9 ii libseccomp2 2.5.1-1 ii libselinux1 3.1-3 ii libsystemd0 247.3-6 ii libzstd1 1.4.8+dfsg-2.1 ii mount 2.36.1-8 ii ntp [time-daemon] 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-1 ii util-linux 2.36.1-8 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.12.20-2 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii policykit-1 0.105-31 ii systemd-container 247.3-6 Versions of packages systemd is related to: pn dracut <none> ii initramfs-tools 0.140 ii libnss-systemd 247.3-6 ii libpam-systemd 247.3-6 ii udev 247.3-6 -- no debconf information
