The +result of this is that services which used to wait for udev to finish +processing all kernel events will now start earlier. One such service +is localmount. + +If "/dev/disk/by-*" device paths are used for mount points in +fstab, it is possible that those symbolic links will not exist when +localmount starts and attempts to mount them. + +The recommended solution is to convert fstab from using +"/dev/disk/by-*" to the LABEL=, UUID=, PARTLABEL= or PARTUUID= syntax. +This syntax is supported directly by both util-linux and busybox's mount +commands and has no dependency on any device manager. More information +on this syntax can be found in the fstab(5) and mount(8) man pages. + +To force the old behaviour, instead of converting fstab, you can add +rc_want="dev-settle" to /etc/conf.d/localmount or add udev-settle to the +sysinit runlevel. -- cgit v1.2.3
