As part of the transition to udev, Debian is changing to using LABEL=
and UUID= instead of /dev/<device> in fstab and anywhere else absolute
device names are used. This is because udev causes device names of
the form /dev/<device> to be non-deterministic (dependent on the order
that devices power up at boot-time).
Unfortunately, there are lots of places that still expect absolute
device names. Ybin is one of them.
I've got a patch that fixes this (at least it fixes it in my test
environment -- G4 PowerMac running Debian Squeeze).
the details are in Debian bug report #580455
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580455
Is there some way to get this patch (or something even better)
accepted? What can I do to help?
Thanks!
Rick
