[Bug 1435428] Re: vivid: systemd breaks qemu-nbd mounting

[Martin Pitt]

I ran this loop for some 100 iterations without failure:

sudo sh -exc 'while true; do qemu-nbd --snapshot --connect /dev/nbd0
/srv/vm/adt-vivid-i386-cloud.img; sleep 0.5; [ -e /dev/nbd0p1 ]; mount
/dev/nbd0p1 /mnt; [ -d /mnt/root ]; umount /mnt; qemu-nbd --disconnect
/dev/nbd0; sleep 0.5; [ ! -e /dev/nbd0p1 ]; done'

(You need to change the VM image, obviously). Maybe in your experiments
you forgot a disconnect or so? If you can still reproduce this, please
attach the output of "journalctl -b" after you run into an error, and
check that you have no leftover /dev/nbd* devices.

However, systemd or udev don't actually create or manage /dev/*, that's
the kernel driver.
