Description Jean-Claude Dole 2017-02-05 12:12:11 UTC 
Since 42.2 I got lot of errors of this king :

dev-disk-by\x2dpartlabel-primary.device: Dev dev-disk-by\x2dpartlabel-primary.device appeared twice with different sysfs paths 
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sdc/sdc1 and /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sdc/sdc2

Here is the output of lsblk

The problem is due to the PARTLABEL data.
On one computer (notepad asus g75vw)
sda (ssd disk) have one vfat efi partition and 3 ext4 partitions. All PARTLABEL are set to primary and give dev-disk-by error.
sdb have 15 xfs partitions. All PARTLABEL are set to Linux filesystem and give dev-disk-by error.
On another computer (desktop no name)
sda (ssd disk) have one ext4 partition. The PARTLABEL is empty. No error.
sdb,sdc,sdd,sde have all xfs partitions. All PARTLABEL are set to primary and give dev-disk-by error.

Have found on google that editing PARTLABEL and giving unique name solve the probleme.
So I am trying this and give news as soon as possible.
Comment 1 Jean-Claude Dole 2017-02-06 12:40:30 UTC 
I confirm that naming partition (PARTLABEL) with unique name remove all error messages (dev-disk-by\x2dpartlabel-primary.device).

But yast2 don't give this possibility.
Need to use a third-party tools.

Not directly a kernel problem.  Reassigning...
Comment 4 Jason Evans 2017-03-17 12:24:35 UTC 
So all one needs is to apply the patch https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/071e0b8b3a698e73bcaecba09ffccab5553d2365 to SuSE's systemd version.
Comment 5 Michal Koutný 2017-04-11 09:47:00 UTC 
The patch has already been adopted in recent systemd releases. I'm thus closing this.
