 |
|
I KNOW it is NOT a udev configuration issue.
When I boot up 4.0.5 based kernel, all is well. When I boot up a 4.1.12 kernel, /dev/disk is missing. I believe that the directory tree is populated by udev.
The only reason I realized this is that while I use LABELs for mounting almost everything, I mount /tmp and swap using /dev/disk/by-uuid/* which is empty when booting 4.1.12
The only difference in the booting is a different kernel 4.0.5 -> 4.1.12.
I checked all the configuration options from:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev
What am I missing?

[UPDATE]
It would appear that I had another option chosen:
"For a much more reliable operation, the kernel must not use the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED* option."

yee,
Mount using lables or filesystem UUIDs works without /dev/disk.
I don't have /dev/disk (by design) but /etc/fstab is all UUIDs.
Do you have DEVTMPFS in your kernel?
Its the kernel that populates /dev again now. udev fine tunes permissions.
/dev/disk is a collection of symlinks, udev may play a part in that.

I have DEVTMPFS.
Interesting, I didn't know that I didn't need /dev/disk for UUID mounting. I to try these changes in /etc/init.d/dmcrypt which may make bootup simpler and more reliable.
Thanks.

[UPDATE]
UUID=foo notation does not appear to work when configuring /etc/init.d/dmcrypt. It would appear I DO need /dev/disk/* |
