13 Openrc's localmount doesn't wait for udev to finish anymore (partially
14 because udev doesn't 'settle' by default), and so instead of adding a
15 'use udev-settle' WilliamH decided to notify people to just not use
16 udev-triggered symlinks.

18 The LABEL= or UUID= syntax in /etc/fstab is more robust so it makes
19 sense for users to use that instead of these symlinks anyhow.
