I agree with benoit ! Initscripts / php / udev / hotplug / hwdetect ... these packages SHOULD be tested before release in current ! And also largely commented with some kind of HOW-TO ! A good exemple is the remove of synchronisation between hal-fstab, it was removed, nobody tells anybody of this new "feature" and udev was not at this moment replacing the hal's fstab lacks !! And what can we think about php5.1 droped directly in current ! Ok it was corrected in 4 hours but what is the point of the testing repo then ... Also I'm having problem with udev and USB Hard drive, I reinstall arch from scratch, using hwdetect / udev and the hard drive doesn't mount "automatically" anymore ! ... I see the pmount trick ... and finally add a line in fstab ...
