These are properties managed by device-mapper rules. Plain udev has not changed regarding these.
device-mapper saves related info in /dev/.udev/db, while boot.udev does: # start without database from initramfs rm -rf /dev/.udev This breaks every device mapper device initialized in initrd. Is there any reason we have to do "rm -rf /dev/.udev" there ? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Device mapper currently depends on the fact that "IMPORT{db}" can work continuously. "rm -rf" causes issues when root file-system and SWAP on device-mapper devices. Kay, Do you think this is a decision you can make. Or should I NEEDINFO from someone else ?

I guess we should just remove the 'rm' line. I don't see how to get device-mapper working otherwise. The only thing that will be a requirement after this, is that the version of the tools in the initramfs image and the rootfs must match. And this is usually the case. In case you update the corresponding dm/LVM packages and udev is in your way, feel free to remove the line from the udev package at the same time. Otherwise let me know.
