Hi, Since they were no objection on the suggestion [1] to get rid of the udev compat symlinks (those generated by /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-persistent-storage-compat.rules), these symlinks will be definitively removed when systemd v253 will be released. Hence you still have a couple months to verify that your system will still be able to boot after this change (see below). First of all, if your system has /usr/lib/udev/compat-symlink-generation file and contains "COMPAT_SYMLINK_GENERATION=2" then it shouldn't be affected at all and you can stop reading here. Otherwise you can try to boot with the option "udev.compat_symlink_generation=0" added to the kernel command line to prevent udev from generating the compat symlinks. If your system still boots fine then it's likely not relying on the compat symlinks. Otherwise I would suggest to reboot with the kernel option removed and run the bash script [2] to help you finding the configuration files referencing the legacy symlinks that will need to be fixed. Thanks. [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/M... [2] https://github.com/fbuihuu/find-legacy-symlinks
