I use devicemapper to stripe two 80gb sata drives on intel sata controller, using initramfs. Now when I boot, I see something like: --- BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 2 devices found Freeing unused kernel memory: 264k freed inotify device opened dm ioctl error or such --- Which then results in a panic as the dm volumes cannot be setup and no / found by kernel. So basically it seems like inotify mess with dm in some way or other - any quick ideas what it could be? I do not have serial console, so if you need a more complete log, just let me know from where abouts I should start, and if any debugging should be turned on, etc. Thanks, -- Martin Schlemmer
