I found the problem. Its in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh
This script calls the mount-functions.sh script in /lib/init
One of the things it does is attempt to mount /run as a tmpfs and
just after that the udev messages I already showed started happening
The key to this was in the boot log output where I have verbose set
to "YES" and the line it output was
Thu Jun 21 18:12:43 2012: [....] Files under mount point '/run' will
be hidden.
Do you have an entry in /etc/fstab for /run?
The first three fields *must* be
tmpfs /run tmpfs
or it will think the filesystem type doesn't match, and do a new
mount rather than a remount.
I don't have an entry in /etc/fstab.
How was it supposed to get there? I have had the same /etc/fstab as
with installation - plus the manually editing by me last february to add
the lvm volumes reported in the boot log.
I also notice there is an /etc/fstab.d directory, but that is empty
any way I will try adding it and rebooting after I have sent this e-mail
to see if that sorts me out.
I tried commenting out the actual mount of /run but it meant that
even in recovery mode I had no keyboard, and hotpluging it in and
out didn't restore it. I had to use a rescue disk to recover the
system. However when I did comment it out, these messages from
udevd stopped.
Are you using an initramfs? It should already be mounted if so.
And in this situation, it should just result in a remount with
the options from /etc/fstab. If you're not, it should mount it
in mountkernfs and then remount in mountall if there's an fstab
entry.
I have an initramfs produced as standard by what ever mechanism debian
uses. I haven't touched it.
This is as documented in tmpfs(5).
My /etc/default/tmpfs was last modified (not be me) on Jun 8 and
contains only comments.
