There must be something wrong(tm). E.g. just looking for the SSD my operating system is placed on i get 3 different entries: (Ignoring the partitions) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jul 28 03:17 ata-Samsung_SSD_840_PRO_Series_S12RNEACC37670P -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jul 28 03:17 scsi-SATA_Samsung_SSD_840S12RNEACC37670P -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jul 28 03:17 wwn-0x5002538550114fa0 -> ../../sda Counting all symlinks i have 31 in by-id! This is also a Debian System with a custom kernel (3.10.3). udev itself has a README somewhere describing what CONFIG parameters have to be set for udev to fully work. I look through that some ages ago and i had a few missing back then. Also "compatiblity with old userspace"-options like: CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED should be disabled. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
