[linux-lvm] Bug#545524: dmsetup - LVM layer devices must not be used for UUID device

[Bastian Blank <waldi debian org>]

Package: dmsetup
Version: 2:1.02.36-4
Severity: important

The device-mapper udev rules currently produces UUID and LABEL entries
for all devices, including the LVM specific -real device and snapshot
devices.

So the LVs test and test1, plus the base device test-real define the
same UUID name.
