Hi,
Does udev somehow not support mounting by label?????
We've had a system using devfsd with a user partition mounted at
/home/herb for a long time. (18 months) Everything has been fine. The
user partition has always mounted correctly. We recently switched to
udev and the system has been through some reboots and has mounted fine
until today. As of today it appears that they no longer do. After a
reboot things looked like this:
gandalf ~ # df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 4892408 3760620 883268 81% /
udev 257536 3148 254388 2% /dev
gandalf ~ #
It seems that only / and swap are mounting
What we are more used to is things looking like this:
gandalf ~ # df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 4892408 3760620 883268 81% /
udev 257536 3148 254388 2% /dev
/dev/sda8 9612604 1366048 7758260 15% /home/herb
/dev/sda6 9612604 1299172 7825136 15% /usr/portage
/dev/sdb2 278827992 34887008 229777280 14% /TVstorage

I have been trying to clean up this machine's world file. to that end
it appeared from a --depclean operation that devfsd was no longer
required so I removed it. I think that this problem started after
that. Is this a problem? udev is here to do it's work, right?
Here's the fstab file. Are there changes required to ensure things
mount correctly?
gandalf ~ # cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts>
<dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults

# Scanner

Thanks in advance for your ideas.
