These properties +(FS_UUID - can be seen via e.g. udevadm info --query=property +--name=/dev/sda5) as needed by dracut to detect things properly (rather +than resulting to lots of weird and wonderful probing methods dracut +tries to use udev as it's primary source of info). + +So these rules ensured that the UUID of /dev/sd* partitions were +available in udev. + +Hope that clarifies things. + +I was quietly hoping these two change would also solve +<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5330">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5330</A> but it seems that one will +need a bit more investigation/work. + +Also note that on urpmi upgrade, the user will still have a large, +non-hostonly initrd generated. We can't do much about that until the +user has booted with that initrd and can then regenerate it again to +make a nice lean, hostonly version. + +Cheers + +Col + + + + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="014136.html">[Mageia-dev] [soft-commits] [4017] Include persistent-storage udev rules ( needed for UUID info on root disks during install) +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="014138.html">[Mageia-dev] Help: Please find me initscripts without LSB headers! +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#16384">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#16384">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#16384">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#16384">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
