Yes, that is a bit annoying. It also breaks e4defrag. I have a kludgey script on my systems that parses /etc/fstab and creates a /dev/root symlink, but of course there's no guarantee that fstab matches the kernel root= command line. If you feel like creating a makedevroot(8) utility (which creates a symlink if it can, or a device node if it can't), I suspect it would be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
