Following up: Upgrading worked fine when i did this on my other computer just today. I don't know what happened or what was different on my other computer that it didn't work previously. The first instance was from the util-linux problem and that I hadn't updated but as that's all fine. As

A follow-up on this: After deleting entries from /etc/udev/rules.d that are in /lib/udev/rules.d this issue is completely solved. One version of the debian packages installs files /etc/udev/rules.d/* but in later versions these files are no longer used and only the /lib/udev/rules.d entries

This is hard to believe since preinst deletes the files if they are unmodified (and you are the only one who is experiencing this). Though, according to the preinst script, shouldn't the file be renamed if it was modified? This also didn't occur on my system. True that, so far, I'm the only

Please also report the output of: ls -l /lib/udev/rules.d/ /etc/udev/rules.d/ /dev/disk/*/ After being able to see a root filesystem and boot with 146 my system does map correctly my dmraid entries. But this works fine with 141 udev. When my /dev/mapper entry can't be mounted with 146 udev

Upon reading from the source of udev and finding the information in the NEWS file about uuids I thought perhaps that the problem lay from changes in udev being now included in util-linux as was sort of indicated. I hadn't looked into it further myself so what I gave was purely informational

vol_id has been replaced by blkid, and you still have not explained what exactly is wrong with your initramfs. If you mean here that blkid is in the initramfs then this isn't so. I think it should be from the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/util-linux which has line copy_exec

Hi Marco, udev is always one of those system killers From the 146 udev sources in the NEWS file: udev 142 Bugfixes. The program vol_id and the library libvolume_id are removed from the repository. Libvolume_id is merged with libblkid from the util-linux-ng package. Persistent
