Thanks. So this is an interaction with this section of the mountall
code:
/* devmapper, md, loop and ram devices must be "ready" before
* we'll try them - as must any device we found without udev.
*/
if ((! action)
|| (! strncmp (kernel, "dm-", 3))
|| (! strncmp (kernel, "md", 2))
|| (! strncmp (kernel, "loop", 4))
|| (! strncmp (kernel, "ram", 3))) {
if ((! usage) && (! type) && (! uuid) && (! label)) {
if (action)
nih_debug ("ignored %s (not yet ready?)",
devname);
return;
}
}
Combined with the fact that blkid can't tell what the device is, this
results in ID_FS_* variables being unset by udev and mountall refusing to
act on the device because it can't tell that the device is ready.
I'm not sure it's at all possible for us to address this in mountall safely
(i.e., without breaking other cases). And since blkid knows the disk usage
is ambiguous, blkid doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong here either.
The only actionable bug here seems to be the mkswap one.
