Hello. Under /dev/disk, we find links that point to the devices which "host" a filesystem. For example, suppose there's a filesystem with the label "Home" and it's stored on the LV called "Home" on the "sys" VG (ie. /dev/sys/Home). We then find:
--($:~)-- ls -la /dev/disk/by-label/Home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 15. Jun 2007 /dev/disk/by-label/Home -> ../../mapper/sys-Home Same for by-uuid, by-id and by-path (well, by-path is a bit different, but please disregard that for this question). Eg.: --($:~)-- ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/73780e0c-0e0b-4afb-8412-77efc2ad8222 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-sys-Home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 15. Jun 2007 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-sys-Home -> ../../mapper/sys-Home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 15. Jun 2007 /dev/disk/by-uuid/73780e0c-0e0b-4afb-8412-77efc2ad8222 -> ../../mapper/sys-Home What "system" is creating those symlinks during boot? Who is responsible for doing that? Is it udev? Or something from util-linux? Reason for this question: Plain old curiosity :) I see that this works very well on Gentoo but doesn't work on other distributions...
