Hi Marco,

udev is always one of those system killers....


>From the 146 udev sources in the "NEWS" file:

udev 142
========
Bugfixes.

The program vol_id and the library libvolume_id are removed from the
repository. Libvolume_id is merged with libblkid from the util-linux-ng
package. Persistent disk links for label and uuid depend on the
util-linux-ng version (2.15) of blkid now. Older versions of blkid
can not be used with udev.



So that means that vol_id does exist but now it's not in udev but in util-linux 
instead. It's easy to be confused by all that.

This will need to be reassigned also to the util-linux maintainers then.

util-linux needs to have vol_id and libvolume_id built.  udev uses this to 
create uuid names and links in /dev/by-uuid. Perhaps this will mean a new 
libvolume package or others?

The hook to still copy in /lib/udev/vol_id into the initrd will still be 
required for use by udev as otherwise uuid names fail hence grub (version 2 
using default configs) will fail resulting in a unbootable system.

That could possibly mean the util_linux source created package build containing 
/lib/udev/vol_id may need to be a pre-depends for udev and the hook in udev to 
still include the vol_id I mentioned.

Also there is still /lib/udev/cdrom_id that isn't included in initrd hook in 
the udev package.  That could possibly be needed also.

Thanks


Chris
