I don't seem to understand why is this supposed to change as we shuffle the things around. The problem is that we currently are starting udev from /, which is mounted from initramfs. Should we move, we'd have to mount /usr from initramfs instead. Now, if we're to keep udev starting /before/ /usr is mounted, we'd have to start udev from initramfs. OTOH, if this order isn't to be kept, why not just simply allow udev to be started after /usr is mounted, while retaining / vs. /usr distinction we currently use? -- FSF associate member #7257 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
