It appears to add > less than 4k to the busybox x86 udeb binary. Is that acceptable? I think now when d-i always uses udev which is configured to fill in /dev/disk/by-label/ and /dev/disk/by-uuid/ directories for all block devices it finds, this bugreport maybe closed -- it is as easy to use the "long" paths instead of enabling an (incomplete) volume-id support in busybox. What do you think? In any way, I'm tagging this as "wontfix" for now. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
