From c6327b63e6d3a11bb333829a8341d572e2fa7d9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Verite Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2012 04:16:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Retry removal of busy minors When failing to remove a zvol device link because it's busy, wait a bit and retry in a loop instead of giving up immediately. This technique is similar to the loop in zpool_label_disk_wait(), with the same goal: waiting for the asynchronous udev processes to finish their work.
