Package: udev Version: 0.054-3 Severity: grave The fix to #294968 moves the original /dev directory from a safe spot outside of the udev /dev tree to a .static dir inside the udev tree, only accessable to root. Unfortunately, many programs (such as mdadm) that use device nodes often directly scan entire the /dev tree (including subdirs) to find all relevant devices. This causes the program to find the device nodes in .static, and prefer that name to be used. As the mdadm config file is created with names like "/dev/hda2", not "/dev/.static/dev/hda2", the devices no longer match, and any RAID arrays that aren't needed at boot time never get started.
Please move the static /dev tree outside of the udev created tree. You never know what program will scan all of /dev to find relevant devices, and .static will be accessable to things scanning /dev, as they're probably running as root. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-rc1-bk1 Versions of packages udev depends on: ii hotplug 0.0.20040329-17 Linux Hotplug Scripts ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-1 Standard scripts needed for bootin ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii makedev 2.3.1-77 creates device files in /dev ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
