Hi,

When I boot the machine (5.10.0-1-amd64), I get:

Jan 19 09:47:52 box systemd-udevd[611]: sdg5: Failed to update device symlinks: Too many levels of symbolic links
Jan 19 09:47:52 box systemd-udevd[581]: sdg6: Failed to update device symlinks: Too many levels of symbolic links

These partitions are part of Raid1 array:

cat /proc/mdstat

Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] 
md2 : active raid1 sdc6[5] sdg6[3] sdd6[4]
       97589120 blocks super 1.2 [3/3] [UUU]
       
md0 : active raid1 sdc1[5] sdg1[3] sdd1[4]
       19514240 blocks super 1.2 [3/3] [UUU]
       
md1 : active raid1 sdc5[5] sdg5[3] sdd5[4]
       117120896 blocks super 1.2 [3/3] [UUU]

The system seems to work alright but these messages are pretty scary. I'm seing
them since months and with different kernel versions.

I have spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot this but without any success yet.

Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Steve
