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. diff --git a/2016-11-04-important_fstab_and_localmount_update/2016-11-04-important_fstab_and_localmount_update.en.txt.asc b/2016-11-04-important_fstab_and_localmount_update/2016-11-04-important_fstab_and_localmount_update.en.txt.asc new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c6f1324 --- /dev/null +++ b/2016-11-04-important_fstab_and_localmount_update/2016-11-04-important_fstab_and_localmount_update.en.txt.asc @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- + +iQIcBAABCAAGBQJYHNATAAoJEJtAqO3K+uczN04QAIaz5RD5lwLKtRAxXtLldJnp +cvjx408knBSoOm+PQimS4FTLnulJtR9XOYmi8sjJxBkJ6h12+WfU5SrIdQrzi92/ +cnzoJURAu7Ray6rraAjTEgUkvadOSWf2ooPTDLmo8FE1al/7v0yvpaIFrCd/mI2a +K9ks2518QxWHmZKbQQDrBKyxWxiEtiOVUY9f+ObBo4YDRfRz0bENbZai7S1hUBke +DSQ18VEWcMYc1zg5OQclTzuKx8HT+QC8RFAwSTDM/FFLX7RiEe6Ii9Ncym1sFTh5 +bWn1nLamOAfCRrbqbqhNLtnDwCSWXsSmzWfcg69PEVRQnOTtzC12ciD7rX0aZfGo +2orLtD4CeNJhRgFMRO1mW7kOGjpc9V2szkll4n1cAtYqLXrFtZTgbJ1gN0jScSP6 +AuPyiwohAN8TiJlIiMSOB27hXVS4A6siuHWYAGkAKmfu71gjHn4daDexJ/83TM9x +AoUhWYIHg1unUdEA+QgJjc0ixaQ2zJLvEpkd1HoKfUTyf88rI46N+Vq5D1iwoXRE +AfItCL0BuQG/xCWterG25egpp8p5JCH5GRxinwTDwIDsC5tmFIbIET4b8GP7B06z +Q3u9dm9ABxxcdp1Gg45Sk/7A9OsOLkwBUBueDvmIq1+OwXKB1ENEBHb8HXAdFnzt +YIosMcKGvgfyxNUfHOXJ +=xoWs +-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
