Oh! Thanks, Kay From: Kay Sievers [BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already created and sysfs is populated. We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition devices. Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when we find already present partitions.
