There are definatly corner cases of this issue still present in Precise.
Looking at the udev init-bottom script it seems that we are not coping
correctly with a timeout when requesting that udev exit for us. Thus we
skip moving /dev over onto the new /root, which is almost all cases is
utterly fatal leaving us on a R/O root.
** Summary changed:
- boot failures because 'udevadm exit' times out while udevd waits for an
already-dead thread
+ boot failures as /dev is not transferred to /root (because 'udevadm exit'
times out waiting for a deadlocked worker)
** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu Precise)
Status: Fix Released => In Progress
