That seems sensible. |

Why ever remove udev-settle, or deprecate the udev symlinks? Is there |
28 |
something wrong with them, other than a bug when you try to mount |
29 |
things before they are created? |

If anything the udev syntax seems a lot more "standard" since it |
32 |
follows the normal device, mountpoint, etc syntax in fstab. |
33 |
|
34 |
Nothing would prevent users from using the other syntax and removing |
35 |
the settle step if they desire. It just seems odd to not support a |
36 |
fairly standard syntax in OpenRC, unless this is part of some larger |
37 |
trend where udev itself is moving away from it, etc. |
