 |
|
This tip is for lvm users who get /dev/cdrom error messages during boot/shutdown.
I found those /dev/cdrom: failed to open cdrom device messages at boot and shutdown quite annoying, though they can safely be ignored. So I did a little poking around and found the solution.
This version: sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.49-r3 (though it probably works for other versions) - not sure.
Edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
Adding a filter to reject the cdrom device before the accept all filter stops lvm from trying to open/close the cdrom device, resulting in no more noise.
This bit "r|/dev/cdrom|", needs to be sandwiched into the filter line as shown:
| Code: | # By default we accept every block device:
# Gentoo: we exclude /dev/nbd by default, because it makes a lot of kernel
# noise when you probed while not available.
filter = [ "r|/dev/nbd.*|", "r|/dev/cdrom|", "a/.*/" ] |
Now the cdrom device is rejected before all is accepted.
The result is no more annoying error messages and speedier boot/shutdown.
All is well.  |
