During disk discovery, VxVM udev rules are invoked to create symbolic links for hardware paths and set the SELinux security context on Veritas device files. For each storage device, the find command is executed and when many storage devices are attached to the system, this can cause high CPU consumption.

Additionally, when the appropriate SELinux security context on VxVM device files exists, restorecon is implemented irrespective if SELinux is enabled or disabled.

Usage of the find command is replaced with the udevadm command. SELinux security context on VxVM device files is set only when SELinux is enabled on the system.
