udevd inotify_add_watch failed

My system:

Laptop with two 500GB drives in a hardware RAID configuration (RAID 1)
Fedora 17, running kernel 3.5.0.2
64-bit
NVIDIA proprietary driver

Problem:

Upon boot-up, I get the following messages:
Cannot open font file True
udevd[213]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sdb3, 10) failed: No such file or directory
udevd[210]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sdb1, 10) failed: No such file or directory
udevd[211]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sdb2, 10) failed: No such file or directory
udevd[215]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda3, 10) failed: No such file or directory
udevd[214]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda2, 10) failed: No such file or directory
udevd[208]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda1, 10) failed: No such file or directory

/dev/sda and /dev/sdb are the two RAIDed drives (into /dev/md126)

System seems to boot up fine, but I would like to get rid of as many error messages as I can

Does anyone have the fix for these messages? Also, what's going on with the font file True message at the top?

On edit--This is a new, from scratch install of F17--not an upgrade.

Thanks in advance!!

No one has an answer for this? I'm still getting the inotify_add_watch message on boot.

Re: udevd inotify_add_watch failed

I have exactly the same warnings since I updated FC17
with kernel 3.6.6.
everything was running fine until the update with kernel 3.6.6
changed how hard disks are started at startup.
and made I big confusion of mounting partitions with real drives partitions,
making my hardware raid out of work.

there s a kind of mess between udevd, LVM, LVM2 and device-mapper.
real devices are detected before device-mapper so the system
thinks that partitions are on real devices...

for the "cannot load font file True"
just remove the line SYSFONT=True from /etc/default/grub
I really don't know why they put this there
