[Bug 30995] Re: dm_mod causes false busy on mount attempts

[scott]

so i had a problem like this this morrning and maybe it will give good
hints to solving the bug:

i installed a large second ide drive and got it working, then a reboot,
and then it would not let me mount it again. After some chatting in some
irc help channels, someone told me to do the following:

mount -t ext3 /dev/evms/hdc1 /mountpoint

it worked! i guess evms was trying to hog the thing i was trying to
mount in the first place: /dev/hdc1

after disabling evms with sysv-rc-conf and then

/etc/init.d/evms stop

then rebooting, what i did have setup in /etc/fstab worked apon reboot:

/dev/hdc1 /media/datadrive ext3 defaults  0  0

i hope this helps someone figure out the bug.
