Joe, be aware that the vss daemon for Hyper-V only supports host
versions 5.0 and greater. As a result, it won't actually *do* anything
on Windows Server 2012. I'm not sure what the underlying issue is, but
is it spinning in an attempt to start the daemon? This really slows down
our VMs and we do a lot of testing so it would be really good to figure
out what changed to cause this behavior.

Title:
  [Hyper-V] udev trying to modify owner and mode of /dev/vmbus/hv_vss

Bug description:
  While testing Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf (development branch) 64 bit
  we found the below issue.

  Repro rate: 100%
  Repro details:
  Hyper-V: Server 2012 (no R2) - WS 2012 is the only affected platform
  Daily build version: 2015.09.10
  Kernel: kernel 4.2.0-7-generic

  During the below event, we also noticed that system-udevd is
  constantly around 100% CPU on the VM, taking a lot of cycles.

  On Server 2012 we don't have the Live backup with VSS feature, so
  these messages should not occur in the first place.

  After 20 minutes we have over 3000 messages in the logs, all like below:
