Guido, from what I see there is no way to go back to the old behaviour in `udev'. Upstream is just not going to revert it, neither Marco agrees to patch it. This has nothing to do with either is ABI change in `udev' is good or bad (this was probably discussed by the udev developers). > once this is sorted out: > > multipath-tools: > * move multipath-tools over to using -d (I'm currently discussing this > with upstream - the fix is obvious but just to be sure) > * depend on udev (>= 0.125) - since older versions of udev don't support > -d correctly. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less -- the problem is fixed. Thanks
