Comment 15 for bug 1481536

Thanks for the analysis and patch, Richard. I think you've put your finger on the problem. However, I see that there's only one code path where we call vgchange without already calling udev_settle afterward A proper fix for this should eliminate unnecessary calls to udevadm settle that would slow down the boot.

Actually it looks like the calls to vgchange are unnecessary as a whole, because we have udev in the initramfs to do this for us; and we should be calling *just* udevadm settle.

Attached is a patch that I believe should do the right thing, though it's currently untested.
