From 1d78d7055629e3f6300d6b8d7028259ee2bffc0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Limpach Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 10:54:04 -0700 Subject: xen blkfront: Delay wait for block devices until after the disk is added When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend become connected rather than when the disk is added. This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the scan for physical volumes is complete.
