Nope, I didn't kill any processes.  It took it a while to fail.  In case
it gets lost in irc:

12:10 <Snow-Man> Md: It's in the bug log
12:11 <Snow-Man> Md: Basically, vol_id was failing.
12:11 <Snow-Man> 'cause it was trying to read the device, and the device
                 was, like, 'uh, no.'
12:11 <Snow-Man> I didn't kill off any processes, no...
12:12 <Snow-Man> Md: Well, alright, vol_id was the process which was
                 running when I was seeing 
                 stuff in dmesg show up (the stuff that's in the bug
                 log)
12:12 <Snow-Man> Md: It's possible there was some other issue making
                 udevstart fail..
12:13 <Snow-Man> Md: But when I enabled the snapshots, I saw vol_id go
                 past the first set of things 
                 it was being run on.
12:13 <Snow-Man> (--export /tmp/udev.gzcWTS/.tmp-8-32 went to, like,
                 8-16, etc, iirc)
12:14 <Snow-Man> It looked like udevstart was running vol_id multiple
                 times, and checking if it 
                 worked or not each time, and if it didn't, was exiting
                 unhappily.

It seems to me that vol_id errors should probably be non-fatal, but I'm
not entirely sure what it's doing.  In this instance I would still want
the appropriate scripts to be run for the device (to properly set up the
multipath stuff for the device) even if the device can't be read at the
moment.

        Thanks,

                Stephen
