Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded from 6.4-1 to 7.0-2, and the host boots fine.
Before starting all vm's and ct's I just started 1 ct and 1 vm, they work fine. Zpools report no issues.
In the log however I found multiple messages like these, they were never in the logs in pve 6.x or 5.x, so it started in 7:
The devices reporting these messages are not always the same every boot, so there is some randomness.
So I decided to boot with udev_log=debug in /etc/udev/udev.conf.
This is part of this debug log, I can provide more if necessary:
It seems there is a fight for linking the device label.
I found a possible related bug report for Debian [1], and one where this bug is reported in systemd [2].
Has anyone seen these messages in their logs too?
Please advise if these messages can be safely ignored (as most mounting and such is done by uuid), and if not, what could be a work around?
I read in the reports that clearing the device label could be a possible work around.

The devices reporting these messages are not always the same every boot, so there is some randomness.
So I decided to boot with udev_log=debug in /etc/udev/udev.conf.
This is part of this debug log, I can provide more if necessary:

It seems there is a fight for linking the device label.
I found a possible related bug report for Debian [1], and one where this bug is reported in systemd [2].
Has anyone seen these messages in their logs too?
Please advise if these messages can be safely ignored (as most mounting and such is done by uuid), and if not, what could be a work around?
I read in the reports that clearing the device label could be a possible work around.
