Hello, I would like to consult an issue I have. It is, I suppose, related to udev. I was looking for some mailing list to ask about it and I found this... I am sorry if I am asking at the wrong place. In that case, could you please suggest some other spot where can I ask about this? Thank you. And now, the issue: Basically, on my system, the directory /dev/disk/by-uuid is not created. I don't know why. I don't know what could have caused it. But I have some suspicion. I have done some experiments with e2fsprogs (I checked out the newest git version in order to try the file defragmentation on ext4 partitions). It all went well, I could "make", then "make install" it, even use it afterwards ... and it worked without any problem, actually. I was satisfied with it. But after restart, however, there was no /dev/disk/by-uuid directory on my system. I started to wonder why. I at first supposed it must have been the e2fsprogs. So, I "dpkg-reconfigured" the "old" Ubuntu version of e2fsprogs and expected everything to work well again. But, unfortunately and to my surprise, it did not change anything. I was not able to have the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory created ever since. I tried reinstalling udev as well, installing newer version of udev and some other things, I can't remember exactly... but nothing helped. And I am now stuck. I don't know what else to try, where else to look... I would appreciate some help here. I would like to know what could be the cause of /dev/disk/by-uuid directory not being created. I will readily provide any further information necessary. The reason why I ask here and not on e2fsprogs mailing list is that I believe the relation of e2fsprogs to my problem was just a coincidence. I may as well be wrong, however, but I thought it would be better to start there.
