Public bug reported:
Now this might sound funny but i just installed fresh 9.04 server under
Virtualbox using fd as hostname and it did broke my installation because
installer will make LVM volume named "fd" and its already being used
elsewhere.
I did use fd as hostname because i was doing a new virtual host for a
clan named Frozen Dawn i wanted to shorten its name to fd.
Of cource server installer wants to default use LVM system to make
filesystems so i did choose it and it will happily make a fd named LVM
volume.
Now, this will break your freshly installed system because fd AFAIK
already being used on something else, it think floppy drive uses fd
name? Anyway udev brakes on a funny way so file permissions are broken,
eg. /dev/null has rights only with root read-write and network wont come
up because /var/run/network directory is not beeing created by udev also
MySQL servers did broke down, etc. lots of funny and strange errors only
because i used fd as hostname.
