I don't use LVM, but I've had problems with udevsettle since F10 came
out. I have a permanently-connected USB external drive (an Iomega 500GB
unit) and every time I reboot the following happens:

1) Boot fails because fsck can't find the drive
2) Drop to shell
3) Run 'mount -remount ...'
4) Edit /etc/fstab and comment out the offending line
5) Ctrl-D and rerun the boot
6) Wait for the login window
7) Switch to another VT
8) Login as root and revert the edit to /etc/fstab
9) Run mount
10) Switch back to VT1 and log in.

This gets old very quickly I can tell you. Read all about it at
