Package: udev Version: 146-3 Severity: critical G'day.
I recently upgraded to the latest udev, help up by the fact that I use MD software RAID and needed to wait for the mdadm package to catch up. On reboot my system broke: it could no longer locate the root device. Having checked by poking around in the initramfs environment this is because of this change (as far as I can tell): udev (146-2) experimental; urgency=medium [...] * Copy in the initramfs only the rules files which are needed to mount the root. Unfortunately, the rules that create the symlinks from /dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-* to the /dev/md* devices were *not* considered necessary for mounting the root. On the other hand, they *were* necessary in my boot stack, which is: md RAID10 => dm_crpyt => lvm => root Specifically, I used the 'by-id' name for the MD device in /etc/crypttab, which was no longer created, so the second stage failed. I appreciate the desire to boot faster, but it is a very, very significant change to stop creating those device names in the initramfs since it can break, and make *very* difficult to recover, a previously working system that used them. I can supply whatever extra detail is required; I have verified that, indeed, it is specifically that only the ATA devices, and none of the soft "logical" devices, that get by-id links in the initramfs already.
