[Bug 995645] Re: udevd: timeout: killing 'watershed sh -c '/sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a y''

Wow, don't know which is sadder...that the age of this problem, or that
it took me this long to finally do a search on this problem.

Instead I've been trying to allow for reboots after unattended upgrades
that require one, but to wait until snapshots are removed (they get
created by my backup system.)

When I first started search, had found a similar sounding bug from back
in 2006.... or that this is now a duplicate of a newer bug, which at
seems to finally be getting attention?

But, at least answers the question on whether upgrading from 12.04 to
14.04 would fix the problem... though I hear the cookbooks are close to
creating production 14.04 instances here...

Title:
  udevd: timeout: killing 'watershed sh -c '/sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm
  vgchange -a y''

Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Boot takes a long time during which the console reports:

  
  [  100.224928] device-mapper: table: 252:40: snapshot: Snapshot cow pairing for exception table handover failed
  udevd[617]: timeout: killing 'watershed sh -c '/sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a y'' [1148]

  udevd[617]: 'watershed sh -c '/sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a
  y'' [1148] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)

  Then the boot stalls waiting to mount /usr and I have to use M to
  manually recover.

  When I get into the recovery shell, a read from
  /dev/rootvol_tmp/ubuntu_usr returns 0 bytes and I have to run
  "vgchange -a y" before I can get a read from that LV to return data.
  At that point I can drop out of the recovery shell and boot will
  continue.

  I have the following LVs on this system:

  That's probably more than most people, but certainly not enough to
  warrant an unbootable system I should not think.
